Benefit From a High-Quality Welding Process
Laser welding is a process that offers maximum control over the heat input, allowing just the right amount of heat to be applied to precise locations without unnecessarily heating other areas. The resulting welds are of much higher quality.
Because laser welding is less aggressive than traditional methods like TIG, MIG and arc welding, parts maintain better mechanical properties. This makes it possible to design products with thinner materials, making the process extremely relevant to manufacturers seeking to minimize weight.

A Machine that Meets Long-Term Goals
If you’re in the design, prototype, or preproduction stage of your product, it can be tempting to buy a low-cost machine that meets short-term needs. But when the time comes to weld at high speed and with high repeatability, low-cost machines won’t keep up and you will have to start over.
To achieve your speed and quality goals, the laser welding machine needs to address a variety of welding challenges including clamping, vision, weld monitoring, and weld rework. All these factors can affect the quality and speed of your machine.
To accompany you in the journey that leads to your final machine, we offer three laser welding services.
 |
Laser Process DevelopmentOur laser process development service is ideal to develop a custom welding process that takes into account clamping, vision, monitoring, rework, and more. You can work with our laser welding experts to discuss the implications of laser welding for product design, obtain weld quality results, and optimize the process to reach specific welding properties. |
 |
Laser Welding ServiceYou can use our laser welding service to start welding without needing a machine in your installations. Send us parts to validate laser welding in your manufacturing process, produce a small batch for prototyping or preproduction, meet a short-term surge in production, or start producing right away while waiting for a machine order. |
|
Laser Machine RentalTo allow you to start producing small batches as soon as possible, you can rent an off-the-shelf laser welding workstation. You can also use it to develop your own laser welding process. |
Laser Welding Applications
 |
Cylindrical Cell Laser WeldingLaser welding is widely used to create busbar connections for several cylindrical cell formats, such as the 21700 and the 4680. It offers high precision, low heat input, and high-quality results. |
 |
Prismatic Cell Laser WeldingLaser welding is a common method used to create busbar connections for prismatic cells. Its precision and accuracy make it a reliable welding method to join the busbars to the cell terminals. |
 |
Battery Laser CleaningLaser cleaning can be used to remove contaminants before joining cells to busbars. It is a mandatory step before ultrasonic bonding. It can also be performed before laser welding if needed. |
The Laser Welding System that Powers Our Solutions
Fiber Laser Welding
The laser beam is guided using fiber optics, resulting in a small spot size and a good penetration depth. This makes it ideal for precision applications like battery tabs and electronic components.
Our fiber laser source operates at a wavelength of 1,064-1,070 nm, which allows it to weld a variety of metals.
High Power, High Speed
Fiber lasers are ideal for industrial applications requiring speed. Thanks to their high energy efficiency and good thermal management, they are not limited by power like blue lasers, green lasers, and other types of lasers.
We offer up to 2kW of laser power to meet the most demanding cycle times.
Adjustable Ring Modes
To diminish spatter to a minimum, adjustable ring modes can be used to better control over how the laser beam’s energy is distributed. With this laser welding technique, it is possible to send different energy levels in the center of the spot and in the ring surrounding it.
We use this to preheat the metal surface and be less aggressive with the laser. The result is a better control over the weld pool and less spatter.
Laser Wobble Optics
To reduce porosity in the joints, the beam can be oscillated and moved in a “wobble” fashion. The result is a slower, more gentle heating of the surface that helps remove gasses that would otherwise enter the joints and cause porosity.
Continuous-Wave Output
Our continuous-wave lasers are an excellent choice for seam welding applications, as they provide a continuous beam delivery with sustained heat transfer. Continuous lasers can easily accommodate welds of different sizes and are less expensive than pulsed lasers.
Single Mode Laser Technology
Single mode lasers can generate a small spot size to achieve high energy density. As a result, heat is used more efficiently, and the laser process has a lower heat-affected zone (HAZ) on the part being processed.
