Amada Miyachi America Announces LF Series Fiber Laser Welders

Designed for fine micro welding with focused spot sizes down to 10 microns

Amada Miyachi America, Inc., a leading manufacturer of welding equipment and laser processing systems, announces the introduction of its LF Series fiber lasers specifically designed for precision micro welding. The LF Series lasers can be focused to spot sizes down to 10 microns, and offer precise control of pulse width and peak power to control the weld parameters. The lasers are available in either single-mode or multi-mode options. Typical applications include welding of flexure arms on hard disc drives, medical spring attachment, and medical component assembly.

“The LF laser specification is based upon Amada Miyachi’s long experience with the demands of welding small components, and provides a perfect complement to our wide range of pulsed Nd:YAG lasers,” said Dr. Geoff Shannon, Manager Advanced Technology at Amada Miyachi America. “Our range of both fiber and pulsed Nd:YAG fine welders gives customers access to the best technology for each specific application.”

The LF Series lasers feature an internal air to water cooling mechanism, which ensures excellent power and pulse to pulse stability, irrespective of ambient air temperature. They may be operated in either modulated or continuous wave mode, and offer all the features necessary for control of the weld, including pulse shaping with up to 10 segments and seam mode with ramp up and ramp down capabilities. The control interface can be integrated into the laser or provided separately.
