Summer is finally here… make sure you have a Water Chiller for your Alpha Laser System!

Water Chillers prevent your system from overheating, which can be especially important during hotter months. Without a water chiller, the following could cause your system to overheat:

• Using your system more than you expected.
• Welding materials that require higher parameter settings.
• Your laser welding system is not in a climate controlled area.

Laser welding can be used to bring defective parts back up to safety standards on turbine blades, sealing surfaces, wear surfaces, and other components.

The power generation industry has some of the most demanding safety regulations of any industry in the world.

Consequently, components are highly specific and very expensive. Parts exhibiting even the slightest defects are frequently scrapped rather than repaired, due to safety concerns. In some cases, these parts are brand new and cannot be repaired with traditional welding methods.

Alpha Laser welding systems are ideal for these types of repairs. Our lasers have the ability to weld dissimilar metals and provide a precise repeatable process with repeatable results.

Battery welding with laser welders offers the opportunity to weld bi-metallics with penetration without causing damage to the batteries below. Battery welding can be done more accurately and with better results with a laser welder than other non-traditional welding processes such as ultrasonic welding.

Parts for oil and gas industry pipelines are exposed to very harsh environments and they must be sealed to withstand these punishing environments and avoid catastrophe. Sometimes exotic alloys are employed in the manufacture of these parts to meet cost and efficiency standards. Laser welders are superior for welding dissimilar materials for long lasting function and durability.

Increase your efficiency with Alpha Laser! Fill out the form below to get started.

Have you had to increase your system power settings?

Depending on your daily usage and parameter settings, this could mean your flashlamp needs to be replaced. Don’t wait until it breaks, which can cause additional damage to your system’s pump chamber housing, increasing repair expenses.

Laser Welding is the superior technology for welding nozzle rings in the power generation industry.

Why?

Laser Welders offer precise control with little heat input.

Heat is not your friend when welding tool steels. We know that heat drives grain growth, and when grain size grows, it becomes weaker. Our lasers introduce such little heat into the workpiece that a bare hand can be laid on the piece when finished welding and the color never changes. Plus, that welded part can be machined immediately.

Welding hard-to-reach areas:

Nozzle rings are complex geometries, which can be difficult to reach with traditional weld methods, such as TIG. Our laser welders offer precision and flexibility that others don’t. With an ALPHA: if you can see it, you can weld it.

Our lasers have the ability to weld dissimilar metals and provide a repeatable process with repeatable results.

Need a machine for long-term nozzle ring repair projects? We recommend the YAG ALFlak for this application. Our YAG ALFlak Laser Welders are available in 200 W, 300 W, 500 W power sources.

Extremely short set-up times allow for a vast range of machine components, pressing tools, and large molds to be repaired with the ALM at any imaginable location.

The ALM’s versatility is impressive. The workpiece can be transported to the laser, or the laser to the workpiece, ensuring complete mobility. The ALM is air cooled and requires no additional cooling system. Just move the laser to the workpiece, secure the laser area, aim the slim laser arm at the weld, and start welding.

The hydraulic brakes fix the laser beam exactly at the desired work position. Welding can be done manually using a joystick, semi-automatically, or using an external operating unit. Additional flexibility is possible with the unique turn and tilt objective, which allows the laser beam to be moved continuously up to 40° from vertical to any direction.

The ALM is ideal for injection mold repair, tool & die repairs, and battery R&D / prototypes.

Ad-on options:

• Turn and tilt objective
• Rotary axis module with chuck, tiltable, for horizontal to
vertical rotation
• External operating unit (remote control)
• TV system for demonstrating and observing the welding
process
• Ergo wedge

Many Alpha Lasers come installed with an advanced WINLaser software that you could be taking advantage of! With this program you can:

• Create and run CNC programs.
• Fully automate your laser welding process.
• Control the axes of motion on your Alpha Laser unit and activate automatic laser pulses.

Our training technicians are available on site or at our facility to provide advanced WINlaser training. Training is fully customized to the needs of each customer. Click to learn more on our training program, which ranges from new to experienced welders.

To schedule training, fill out the form below or contact Chad Brickner at service@alphalaser.com.

WINlaser software is available on select Alpha Laser models. Contact your sales representative or our service team to see if your machine offers the program.  

It is crucial to change your Di Water and Filter every 6-12 months (depending on your daily usage) to prevent damage to your machine. If you’d like to schedule a service appointment, email or call us today!

Changing Di Water/Filters is included in all tiers of our Preventative Maintenance Packages! If interested in purchasing a one or three year contract covering a variety of maintenance options for your Alpha Laser machine, fill out a form below or contact Chad Brickner at service@alphalaser.com.

In anticipation of FABTECH next month, we’re taking an in-depth look at the AL-IN: our most affordable, ergonomic laser welding system.

The AL-IN is a robust and extremely flexible laser system for laser welding of small and large parts. We are demonstrating the system at FABTECH in Georgia next month, so here’s everything you’d want to know before seeing it in person.

The system is available in a 150 W, 200 W, or 300 W power source for welding all common metals, a lifting column with X, Y and Z travel and a control unit for the axes. You can use the integrated touch panel to teach surfaces, access apps for rotary components or to control an optional wire feed system.

The parts to be welded can be positioned independently from the movement system because a wide variety of work tables can be placed in front of the lifting column. You can also weld directly on a pallet truck or pallet. This is possible because the resonator can be turned to the side or back (nearly 360°). The resonator, which sits in a slide rail, can also be placed far forward. This gives you the flexibility to weld both small and large workpieces. The special feature about the AL-IN is that you can adjust using the resonator and never have to move the workpiece.

The AL-IN also comes with teach modes available in X/Y or Z axis, with multiple axis and laser parameters (power, MS, Hertz rate) savable. We also offer expert training from Alpha Laser welding technicians, with ability to produce quality parts within training period.

Optionally, you can get expansions such as: turn and tilt optics, the patented multifunction foot switch, an Ergo wedge, an axis of rotation, and a wire feed system.

Features at a glance:

• Entry level price point
• Easy to use
• Teach modes
• Powerful
• Versatile
• Professional results

View the AL-IN data sheet for full configuration details.

Be sure to check us out at FABTECH next month so you can see for yourself what the AL-IN can do. We are also bringing our ALM Laser Welder and will be giving live demos at booth #16186501.
