6 Axis Laser Applications & Technical Job Capabilities
Overview of Contract Services offered by LaserGuide Inc.
- 3D/5-axis Laser Cutting of pre-formed/pre-drawn and stamped parts.
- Complex Shapes Are Cut With Simultaneous Linear And Rotary Motion.
- Unique Capabilities, Experience, Reliability and unmatched Turn-around Times.
- ISO Compliant with Quality Systems that Provides Robust Reliability.
Laser Welding/Bonding
Applications include:
Two dimension (3-axis) and three dimension (4-5 axis) Laser Spot Welding, Butt Welds, Hermetic Welds, Fusion Welds, Laser Hybrid Welding and Arc Welding.
Materials include:
Metals (Ferrous and non-ferrous), Titanium, Plastics (various types) and various alloys.
Main Benefits to using laser welding include but are not limited to:
- Low heat input, leading to minimum part distortion.
- Very consistent, and repeatable welds.
- The deep penetration of precise narrow welds.
- A thin weld profile with a very clean appearance (especially if gas shielding is used).
- No secondary processing needed in most weld types.
- Due to the precision of our 5 axis CNC Laser you will get high repeatability.
- Most importantly you will see faster weld rates than traditional welding.
Precision Drilling and Micromachining
Most Common Applications:
Aerospace, Medical devices, Electronics, Biotech and Automotive.
Material types/Thickness include the following:
Hot Roll Steel, Hot Roll Pickled and Oiled Steel, Cold Roll Steel, HSLA Steel, Galvanized Steel, Galvannealed Steel, Aluminized Steel, Brass, Bronze, Nickle alloys, Aerospace alloys, Aluminum (1000, 3000, 5000 series), Stainless Steel (300, 400 series) & More!
Maximum Material thickness:
- up to 0.30" Carbon Steel
- up to 0.25" Stainless Steel
- up to 0.18" Aluminum hkg
- up to 0.20" Titanium, and various alloys
- Organic materials (such as plastics, carbon fiber, etc.) thickness varies.
Cutting Capacity: Tolerances Up to ± .001" depending on the tooling/application. However, our 5-axis lasers themselves are precise and repeating up to +-.0005".
Our systems have a travel of up to 72" x 84" x 48" of active work envelopes.
Auto focus control (AFC): maintains constant laser beam focus on cutting/welding surfaces even with parts inconsistent with expected geometry.
Auto feed rate/power control (maintains constant energy input to material, minimizing heat affected zone, reducing thermal distortion.
Short to Long-Term Contract Packages:
Our Short and Long Run Contract Job Capabilities include:
-Fast turn around time (usually 1-2 weeks maximum)
-Quality audit worksheets filled out and delivered with every shipment.
-Full Inspection Capabilities: gauge blocks, calipers, optical comparators, pin gauges, diameter (PI) tape, three machined granite surfaces etc..
-Full deburring, grinding, polishing, cleaning, surface treating.
-Small to medium sized tumbling capabilities. With a large variety of rock sizes for the most effective and low cost method of part cleaning for maximum uniformity)
-Full packaging/shipping supplies (to increase the quality of final product.)
Secondary Laser Cutting and Applications
-Flat Laser Cutting.
-Localized heat treating.
-Laser engraving many materials including organics.
-Inspection Capabilities, Quality assurance documentation with each shipment (per request)
-Full deburring, Tumbling, Grinding, Polishing, and Packaging Capabilities
-Part nestling (maximize material usage)
-Emergency Services (delivery in less than 48 hours) **depends on qty and cycle times**
-Nitrogen Clean Cutting (leaves part Oxide free and ready to weld)
