Gain a solid understanding of industrial laser welding and learn how to apply proven methods to solve real-world problems. This practical course will help you improve your laser welding operations, increase your process efficiency, and achieve high-quality, consistent laser welded assemblies and parts.

During this course, you will: 

• Learn how to implement a laser welding process from concept to production 
• Understand practical laser theory and learn how to select the right laser for your job
• Understand the key parameters that affect high-quality weld production:
  – determine and calculate the operating parameters for your process
  – compute spot size, laser power, power density
• Assess the technologies that are used to monitor laser beam performance and examine which technologies you need to monitor your process
• Explore the welding of dissimilar materials
• Identify supporting technologies—beyond the laser—needed for system integration
