Abstract

The unique non-contact nature of laser welding and the ability to join both similar and dissimilar metals with a minimal heat affected zone is proving very popular in many assembly operations. Laser welding has enabled one company, Fischer Porter Co, of Warminster, PA, to simplify product designs and to salvage previously unrepairable expensive subassemblies for their line of process control systems. The cost savings are such that this numerically controlled laser welding system will pay for itself in 15 months.
