Laser Welding Services

Ace Laser offers high quality laser welding services. Laser welding is a flexible process that can be performed without filler material and is used to create seams and joints that are narrow, wide, shallow, or deep in a variety of metals.

Although lasers create a relatively small spot on the parts to be welded, weld pools that are significantly wider than the spot can be created by directing the beam in customizable patterns. For parts and materials that cannot handle excessive thermal input, lasers can be optimized to achieve rapid weld penetration and scanned along the joint to reach rapid speeds.
