Fiber laser technology has brought a revolution in industries. Because of its advantages like long life, no maintenance, very stable and low cost, it is becoming more and more popular day by day and consumption of fiber source has increased manifold.

Because of increase in consumption of fiber source and price war among fiber laser source producers, the price of fiber laser source is coming down. As a result, the prices of fiber laser cutting machine, welding machine, and marking machine are also coming down and they have become truly affordable to anyone.

Mehta CAD CAM has introduced a welding machine equipped with 1 KW and 1.5 KW fiber laser sources having a hand-held laser welding gun. It is a true replacement of MIG and TIG welding in many applications.

Advantages galore

The major advantage of fiber laser welding technology is it is 2 to 10 times faster than any traditional or conventional welding machine. The weld seams are smooth and beautiful and no consumables are needed, thus reducing the subsequent grinding process and saving time and cost. Fiber laser system does not require any special skills to operate.

The other major advantage is, with the same fiber laser welding system one can weld any metal to any dissimilar metal. For example welding between SS to MS, MS to aluminium, SS to aluminium, etc. can be easily done.

Generally for low thickness of metal like 0.5 to 0.6 mm, it is difficult to weld with traditional technology but with fiber laser welding system it can be done efficiently, cleanly and smoothly. Also aluminium to aluminium welding was a typical task with traditional technology but with this technology; one can do aluminium welding very easily.

All-in-one equipment

Mehta CAD CAM Systems provides all-in-one fiber laser welding equipment capable of doing spot and seam welding with different systems like with hand-held gun, 3-axis and 4-axis platforms in any different sizes and also complete solution with robotics as per the need of customers. Special customized fixtures can be added to for mass production.

Some of the special advantages of the hand-held laser welding gun head are:  it is flexible and convenient for outdoor welding, its operator mode of the hand-held welding tip allows the workpiece to be welded at any angle. Intelligent switching of dual light paths, even distribution of energy according to different time and different light are some of the special feature Mehta’s fiber laser welding machine provides. Moreover, by virtue of its compact structure, you don’t require to have welding station.
