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.
