Lasers and Laser Systems for Advanced Manufacturing in Welding
In this presentation, we will cover the fundamental building blocks of stand-alone laser welding systems. This includes examples of lasers, motion systems, beam delivery, safety enclosures and accessories (e.g. cover gas delivery, vision systems, process monitors). These will be presented in context of laser welding and design considerations for integrated systems.

Industrial Manufacturing with Diode Lasers
In recent years diode lasers have evolved in output power and beam quality, opening new innovative applications for this efficient and robust laser source. Applications like tailored blanks welding which combine different material strengths and thicknesses were successfully brought to wide industrial utilization. With the significant power increase in the laser sources thick material welding and large area surface treatment is nowadays possible. Furthermore, diode lasers have become the industry standard for highly groundbreaking applications like carbon fiber tape placement, laser assisted material processing as well as high speed cladding - a process which was developed to substitute hard chrome plating. In addition to that, the high efficiency and robustness of the sources make it ideally suitable for large area free form additive and hybrid manufacturing resulting therefore in high productivity and decreasing cycle time for additive manufactured parts and paving the way into intelligent and resource efficient production environment.
