Laser Advantages

• Very high precision welding or cutting
• Close tolerance (± .001 inch)
• Excellent repeatability
• Unit cost reductions
• Material versatility
• Contact-free, very localized energy means low thermal and mechanical strain on parts
• Cleaner than electric arc or gas welding
• No consumables, unless filler material is used for welding
• Low heat input/minimal heat affect
• Fine grain structure/excellent weld quality
• High energy density/high weld speeds
• No filler material
• Line of sight access for hard to reach areas
• Clean processing to eliminate debris (shavings, dust, etc.)
• Flexibility - fast setups achieved with computer controls
• Little or no burring can make secondary finishing unnecessary
• 90% less heat input results in welds with minimal distortion
• Minimal distortion in heat affected zones
• No tooling to wear out or change over
• Non-contact processing eliminates unwanted stress on materials
