Alabama Laser
offers specialized laser process development and
laser research services. Our in-house
engineering team is devoted to providing solutions for laser machining problems, including
system development and process development for laser cutting, welding, etching, heat
treating, and cladding.
Process Development & Laser Research Projects include: |
|
|
|
Metal
Deposition
Process development for metal powder deposition using fiber-delivered, direct diode
lasers. Applications include repairing parts that have been damaged through the wearing
away of surface metal.

Improving
Cut Quality
We work with companies to improve the cut quality of their laser systems using gas dynamic
beam analysis and development of custom components, including beam directors, beam
benders, cutting heads and welding heads. |
|
|
|
Weld
Process Development
Using CO2, Nd:YAG, fiber, and direct diode laser systems, the Alabama Laser research team
continues to make advancements in laser welding process development for both diffusion and
keyhole welding methods. |
|
|
|
Robotic Systems Applications
Combining robots, our beam delivery systems, and the technology of fiber
lasers and direct diode lasers, we have explored new applications for
cutting, welding, and laser hardening. The flexibility of fiber lasers and
the compact size of direct diode lasers enable robots to be used as an
effective motion system for laser material processing. |
