    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    Spatters in laser penetration welding of aluminum alloys will pollute the focusing system, which would affect the processing stability and welding quality. Furthermore, the spatter characteristics can reflect the laser welding process in some degree. In this paper, the spatter characteristics in fiber and CO2 laser welding of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy are investigated. Dynamic behavior of spatters is reco...

    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    Laser narrow gap welding with beam oscillation was developed to prevent lack of fusion and hot cracking in the welding of thick steel plates. The weld qualities of carbon steel joints of 60 and 150mm thickness were examined in this work. The results show that beam oscillation condition, especially oscillation amplitude affects soundness of the weld, and must be adjus...

    Resistance Spot Welding Gun Meets Fiber Laser – An Alternative to Remote Welding?
    Authors:
    Klaus Krastel, IPG Laser GmbH; Burbach Germany
    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    For today's high volume production in the automotive industry, resistance spot welding and laser remote welding, while well established, present pro's and con's. For laser remote welding the main advantage is the significant cycle time reduction due to almost complete elimination of idle times and the advantages of laser welded seams. For resistance spot welding an advantage is the integrated clamping technology, which comes nearly for free. IPG Laser GmbH has combined these advantages in a new technology, offering the resistance sp...

    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    The use of laser technology is assumed to be quite common in heavy industry. However, it requires extra effort to find a success story of an industrial application based on the use of the technology. Reasons for this include confidentiality and the fact that the amount of applications is still limited. This paper presents one of the success stories, a new type of laser-welded wal...

    A Beam Monitoring System for Large and Scanned Laser Spots - Lasmon
    Authors:
    Jan Hannweber, Fraunhofer IWS; Dresden Germany
    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    A novel monitoring system for large, formed and scanned high power laser beams is presented, how they are particular used for industrial laser hardening processes. The system design is very simple, inexpensive and easily adaptable. The software offers the possibility to identify all standard beam parameters as the beam parameter product, power density distribution, Rayleigh length and FWHM. In addition, functions specifically for laser beam hardening are provided. Significant applications are in the area of quality and process control, such as the ...

    Quality assurance in laser processing is often provided by post process inspections with machine vision solutions. When process stability gain is needed, one-dimensional signals like diodes or pyrometers which measure the emitted radiation of the laser process may be applied for closed-loop control of e.g. the laser power...
