AMADA WELD TECH, a leading manufacturer of equipment and systems for welding, marking, cutting, sealing, and bonding, is proud to announce the integration of cutting-edge blue laser technology into its suite of micro welding technologies. This innovation leverages the unique properties of blue diode lasers to deliver superior performance in welding highly reflective materials, notably copper. Traditional infrared lasers, such as Nd:YAG and fiber lasers, emit light in the 1064-1070 nanometer range, which is less efficiently absorbed by materials like copper, leading to increased energy consumption and potential processing challenges. In contrast, blue lasers operate at a wavelength of approximately …
