Artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of neural networks trained to recognise welding and brazing defects offer a route to automated laser materials processing systems - although training those ...

As with traditional welding techniques, materials are melted in the weld zone, although laser-based techniques use quicker heating and cooling cycles (Figure 1). These rapid thermal cycles are a ...

Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. It works on the principle of partial transmission which lets a laser’s light travel through ...

Heart pacemakers and other implantable medical devices must be free of even minor defects, particularly in the titanium casing that holds and protects the electronics. Ranging in thickness from 0.15 ...

Can automated welding solutions stack up to fixed automation solutions? Brian Knopp, founder of Cobot Systems, explains why they do. Manufacturers looking for ways to rearchitect their welding ...

Synergy Additive Manufacturing LLC specializes in high-power, laser-based solutions for complex manufacturing related to wear, corrosion, and tool life. Laser cladding and laser welding are different ...

Medical devices use a variety of metal components that are often welded to form a secure and permanent bond. Options available for welding processes are limited because of certain constraints such as ...

Although many aspects of the automobile manufacturing process are now automated, the inspection of welds is still typically performed by humans. A new robotic system, being developed in Germany, ...

Since it is difficult to weld aluminum and copper with other methods, this process is a perfect method of combining aluminum and copper.. Welding, as implied by the name, usually involves the joining ...
