Eliminate the guesswork and operator variability by switching to laser welding at Directed Light. All our laser welding systems have 3 or 4 axes of CNC motion control to ensure accurate, repeatable joints. Laser welding minimizes the heat-affected zone to prevent damage to packaged components or to the material surrounding the weld. Through laser process selection and tight production control you will see a constant weld depth and overlap part after part after part.

Directed Light has systems for laser spot welding and laser contour seam welding. We weld under a shield gas or can use one of our glovebox systems to bake and weld packages in an inert atmosphere.

To optimize your laser welding project’s success we will share our expertise in weld joint design and material selection during your design process. Proper joint design and material selection will ensure consistent, strong, crack free welds. While many other combinations of materials can be welded, using one of the preferred combinations of welding materials listed below would promote excellent laser welds.

Moderate: Joint design and welding parameters are more critical for these combinations but they can still be welded fairly easily.
