SWS-Trimac provides Laser Welding services for a wide range of industries and offers many options in both CO2 and solid-state fiber Laser Welding technologies. These processes are capable of welding thicknesses ranging from foil to 3/8” of an inch in Carbon Steels, Stainless Steels, Copper, and Aluminum, just to name a few. 

Laser Welding processes generate light energy that can be absorbed into materials and converted to heat energy. By employing a light beam, we can transmit this energy from its source to the work piece, using an array of delivery optics, which can focus and direct the energy to a very small beam spot. The typical spot size of the laser is approximately .012” in diameter. The focal point can be adjusted above or below focus; this variable will affect both weld penetration and the width of the weld signatures, which is very important depending upon joint design and application. The speed of welding is proportional to the amount of power supplied but also depends on the material type and thickness of the work pieces.

Laser Welding may be used in a continuous or pulsed mode, depending upon the type of Laser Welding technology.
