In-Die Laser Welding
High precision laser welding is now available for demanding applications using today's most modern laser equipment. Specializing in in-die laser welding, Weiss-Aug is one of the only American companies to offer this capability in the United States.
In-die laser welding is a unique combination of metal stamping and laser welding inside the stamping press, eliminating the need for post stamping, welding, and assembly operations.
Inside the progressive die, after the cutting and forming stations, specialized stations position the area of the component to be laser welded. The laser heads align with these stations and the lasers emit a short burst, which completes the weld when the press is closed. As the press opens, the components are 100% inspected by camera vision systems for any visual or tolerance defect. The component then reels up for additional operations, per customer specification.
