Laser welding is a contact-less joining process in which a
laser beam is used to create a fusion weld in metals. To create these welds,
the laser beam is tightly focused onto the metal parts. The very high energy
density in the laser focus melts the metals, which solidify once the laser
pulse is terminated. |
|
|
| |
The laser welding process has a
number of important benefits: |
 |
Contact-less so it is possible to weld in
inaccessible places |
|
|
No or minimal part deformation
or electrode contamination |
|
|
High speed (up to 500 welds per second) |
|
|
Small heat affected zone as the
spots are small and the laser pulses short (1ms - 50 ms) |
|
|
Possibility to make very small
welds (0.05) mm diameter in thin materialsl |

For precision laser spot and seam welding powerful pulsed Nd: YAG lasers are
used. In this type of laser a flash lamp provides the energy to create a lasing
action in a Neodimium doped YAG crystal. The generated laser pulses have a high
peak power in the range of 0.5 to 8 kW, needed in the welding process.
Our advanced laser welders use a fast closed loop control in which the produced
laser output is measured and compared to the programmed pulse shape. Any
deviations are automatically corrected within every single laser pulse,
resulting in superior weld reproducibility.
Pulsed Nd: YAG laser welders use optical fibres to transmit the laser beam to
the workpiece. One laser source can be divided into multiple fibres to support
several machines, or make simultaneous welds. The latter is needed in special
applications like fibre attachment in the telecom industry where the weld
shrinkage is cancelled out by the multiple beams.
The combination of fibre diameter, focusing optics used and laser parameters
determine the shape of the weld. Finding the optimum laser settings is a job
for laser engineers in our application labs. |

ML-6500B - 300W Fiber
Laser Welder
Features of fiber lasers
Welding with no thermal lens effect.
Inherits the ML series' real-time power feedback functions
Compact output unit made it possible to have a long focal distance!
Attained higher efficiency (approx 8 times more efficient than lamp excitation
type laser welders)
Can be operated in continuous wave (CW) or pulse.
Supports up to 3-time sharing deliveries or 3-energy sharing deliveries.
All-in-one design makes it easy to be integrated into a manufacturing line.
ML-6700A - 500W Fiber Laser Welder
ML-6500B from Miyachi is a perfect solution for seam
welding of sheet metals, plastic welding and cutting.
-High power 500W fiber laser achieves welding of sheet metals as well as fine
cutting.
-φ50μm fiber can be used to perform high quality fine welding.
-Cycle time can be shortened due to high speed pulse control; which is ten
times faster than the existing models.
-Setting the optics 90degrees on the work piece is possible due to the anti
reflection isolator
-Vertical incident is capable due to the structure designed not to influence by
reflection from a object to be welded.
-Small footprint.
Great reliability and stability
Welding without thermal lens effect provides outstandingly clean and firm fine
welding. Real-time feedback feature controls output stably.
Low power consumption and small footprint
Its power consumption is 75% less than lamp-pumped laser welders. Power supply,
oscillation head and cooler are all integrated in one unit to save the space
and make it easy to locate.
Robust design
IP54 certified dust-proof and drop-proof design.
High usability
Three time sharing and three energy sharing at maximum are available. Two
oscillation method can be selected from CW mode and pulse mode. Ample
input-output terminals facilitate integration into automation systems.
Better quality control
Both laser energy (J) and average power (W) can be monitored and error signal
is outputted. With external facilities, data such as weld condition and
monitored value can be controlled.
ML-6810A - 1kW Fiber Laser Welder
1 kW Fiber Laser for Maximum Performance
The new 1 kW fiber laser welder ML-6810A from Miyachi offers excellent beam
quality and maximum power for new and precise welding applications like steel
sheet and copper.
ML-6810A meets the laser welding needs perfectly in the medical, automotive (sheet
welding), solar, and electrical industries.
A 50 micron fiber realises long focal lengths and small spot sizes. Thanks to
better beam quality and the possibility of CW usage new applications can be
approached such as:
- Fine cutting of metals
- Welding of stainless steel 2 mm +; CuSn6 etc.
- Brazing applications
- Cladding applications |

Air-Cooled Laser Welders, LW5A,
LW15A, LW25A
The Air-cooled laser welders are designed for spot welding
and low volume seam welding applications. The LW5A is especially geared towards
welding thin wires, foils using small spot sizes around 200 micron. With a
maximum peak power of 1 kW this laser is extremely stable in low energy
applications.
The air-cooled welders work on 220-240V single phase 50/60 Hz electrical power.
The lasers feature an integrated water to air heat exchanger, so no external
cooling water is required.
Medium Power Water Cooled Laser
Welders, LW50AE, LW70AE, LW150AE
The medium power laser welders are all water cooled and work
on 480V three-phase power. They are used in a multitude of applications ranging
from seam welding medical implants to spot welding large mechanical parts.
High Power Water Cooled Laser
Welders, LW300AE, LW400AE, LW500AE, LW600AE
The high power laser welders are all water cooled and
require a 400V 3-phase power connection. They are typically used for high speed
spot welding and seam welding of reflective materials such as aluminum and
copper.
The LW500AE and LW600AE are the first of our laser welders which feature a
color touch screen panel on the laser to make programming these lasers easier
than ever before.
