Laser beam welding is a non-contact welding
process that creates fusion by directing concentrated photonic
radiation onto a small area. LASER (Light Amplification
by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation).
SRI Hermetics currently has two high power Nd:YAG laser welding
systems with 4 axis CNC motion systems used for the precision
joining of small metal components. Laser
beam welding (LBW) is ideally suited for assembly and integration
of hermetic connectors due to its precise application and small
heat affected zone. Connector
components can be joined together and connectors can be mounted
into higher level assemblies with little to no thermal stress
impact. This makes it possible
to weld very small parts without distortion or damage.
SRI Hermetics has a substantial number of customers who purchase
our laser weldable connectors as well as many who purchase
their higher level assemblies complete with connectors integrated. We
also have customers who supply us with some of the sub-components
and have us do the final assembly work. Customer
satisfaction is our goal, so we are flexible and willing to
work with all scenarios to provide our customers with the best
solutions for their particular situation. In
all cases, our engineers are available to provide design and
technical support. |
