Ensure Quality Laser Welds for High Pressure Vessels

High pressure vessels (over 100 PSI) have high quality standards for their structural integrity, for obvious reasons. Weld points can often pose a critical failure, so these especially must be tested to withstand the high pressure of gas that the container will be used for. Remote laser welding stations typically use multimode, multi-kilowatt fiber lasers…

Overcoming the Challenges of Measuring High Power NIR Lasers

High power laser applications High power laser application has significantly increased in recent years due to new production techniques that enable cheaper manufacturing and operating costs.  Applications of high-power lasers that seemed exotic a few years ago are now considered routine in material processing and micromachining. Such material processing applications as welding, cutting, additive manufacturing,…

Watch: BeamWatch AM Additive Manufacturing

Lightweight, complex mechanical parts can now be “built to order” quickly and automatically, thanks to Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. AM involves building up a structure by adding material to it layer by layer, with each layer being a precise cross section of the structure. Originally used for rapid prototyping, AM – now based on various…

Troubleshooting in SLM (Selective Laser Melting) systems with BeamWatch & BeamWatch AM

When asking the SLM manufacturers and users about what they need to know about the laser beam, the first answer we mostly get is, the cross section of the beam profile. But sometimes, this is not the key to solving most problems. The following blog post offers examples of additive manufacturing systems troubleshooting using Ophir’s…

Video: Medical Applications and Laser Beam Analysis

Over the past 50 years, laser technology has become an integral part of modern medicine. Since a laser beam provides a vehicle for delivering energy in such a precisely controlled way, and without physical contact, it’s not surprising that the laser has found so much use in medical applications. The following video describes recent Ophir laser measurement solutions for medical applications and laser beam analysis:
