What is Fiber Laser Welding?
Cutting-edge laser welding offers a superior hold for cost-effective fabrication and repair processes. While there are many ways to weld materials, fiber laser welding is a competitive option over other joining techniques. Explore the innovative technology behind fiber laser welding services, the benefits of this welding type, and key applications to see how Moose Laser Weld can help you get the job done to precise specifications.
Fiber Laser Technology
While there are many laser welding options, this specific option uses rare earth elements and silica glass to produce a beam. Fiber laser technology relies on this unique combination to create a minimal heat-affected zone. The laser is a non-contact welding method, meaning you don’t have the same wear and maintenance issues as other welding processes do.
A fiber laser doesn’t need a vacuum. The welding depth can be controlled to achieve depths from 0.005 inches to 0.25 inches with greater precision than many other types of welding.
Advantages of Fiber Laser Welding vs. CO2 Welding
CO2 welding is another popular way to join two materials, but fiber laser welding offers a few distinct advantages. Compared to carbon dioxide welding, a fiber laser can offer the following benefits:
- Low maintenance requirements
- Fast welding speeds
- Low heat input
- Reduced heat-affected zone
- The ability to weld dissimilar metals
- Improved welding precision and speed
Consider fiber laser welding services if you need high-volume welding capabilities or have a complex welding project. At Moose Laser Welding, we leverage computer-aided controls to achieve high levels of accuracy and welding speed.
Laser welders use a beam path that maintains consistent centering. A fully sealed path between the power source and the cutting head reduces the possibility of contaminants affecting operation. Fiber laser welders don’t require any warm-up time, and can achieve a finer cutting beam compared to CO2 welders.
