Micro Laser Technology

Laser is an acronym for “Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation” which produces a sharp, focused light beam that melts a very small area of metal. The benefit of this technology is that very little heat is generated at the weld point, allowing users to easily weld microns away from the most complicated and intricate component parts without damaging heat sensitive materials. Micro laser welding is used for joining high value, miniature components in a range of industries such as electronics, telecom, automotive, the medical industry and more. Typical applications include catheters, delivery systems and implants, surgical robots, hermetic seals and many other.

LaserLux offer a manual micro laser welding and CNC welding.

We offers micro laser welding services within a clean room and outside a clean room.

Laserlux is all about micro-laser technologies and always stay tuned on the latest innovations and technological developments to bring our customers with the most advanced micro-laser experience with their products.

Using Micro-laser in different welding processes allows us to work on the smallest and complicated parts. Laser micro-welding is essential when welding micromechanical parts and assemblies since using a large amount of laser energy can cause the materials to heat, oxidize them, and even cause them to change mechanical properties or distort. The micro-laser is so precise that the materials don’t change during the welding process as there is no large heat-damage zone. It also allows us to work on medical devices including implants, cateters and delivery system.

Micro laser welding is used for joining high value, miniature components in a range of industries such as electronics, telecom, automotive, the medical industry and more. Typical applications include catheters or implants, orthodontic brackets, fiber optic couplings to laser diodes, hermetic seals, watch part components and other photonic fabrication devices. Compared to conventional joining methods, micro laser welding is recognized as a high-speed, repeatable process that offers numerous advantages, including:

• High quality weld (smooth seam surface, no oxidation, no part distortion)
• Minimum heat-affected zone, which minimizes damage to the work piece. Low heat input: the weld energy is delivered only where it is needed and with exceptional control
• Non-contact process with great accessibility of the hard-to-reach welding areas including deep and narrow areas
• Simple integration with viewing systems for micro precision material positioning and handling
• No need of a vacuum chamber, as required by electron beam welding
• Clean welds: In addition to the aesthetic benefits, clean welds result in products that are easier to sterilize or fit into other assemblies
• Strong welds: Laser provides high strength with minimum number of welds
• Hermetic welds: Unlike soldering or brazing, lasers can provide flawless hermetic welds essential for many micro- applications.

The laser is an excellent tool for the welding of almost all common metals and their alloys. The wide range of tried and tested applications include stainless steel, gold, silver, platinum and titanium, as well as shape memory alloys.
