Optica Online Industry Meeting: Laser Welding

30 May 2023 10:00 - 12:00

Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)

Metal welding produces a highly reliable bond but only if the welding process achieves a precise operating condition in the target material. Lasers have been used for welding metals for many years, but the field is still evolving with new demands from end-users and new solutions from laser-based machine tool vendors. New solutions include both new wavelengths and new laser technologies, such as fiber lasers and diode lasers. This online meeting will explore the new set of welding requirements arising from the manufacture of electric vehicles, including EV batteries, and what it requires from optics and photonics suppliers.
