Contour welding
In contour welding, a laser spot is guided sequentially along a predetermined welding pattern, melting it locally.
The welding volume remains comparatively small as a result of the geometric conditions, and extrusion of the melt is avoided. Relative motion, with the patterns downloaded from a CAD software, is achieved by moving the component, the laser, or a combination of both.
Characteristics and application:
- Laser beam focused to a spot
- High flexibility
- Arbitrary 2D joining line
- Ideal for frequent changes of component
