Abstract

High power fiber lasers offer several advantages for industrial use; high power with stable output, parameter flexibility, low maintenance costs, high efficiency and small footprint. A 200W SPI / Rofin fiber laser system was used to study the potential for high speed remote cutting and welding using a galvo scanner. Metallurgical analysis of the weld quality, cut edge quality and the throughput of fiber laser welding for a variety of materials and applications are presented.
