Customised Laser Brazing Systems
LMI AB develops and supplies customised systems for industrial laser brazing. Each solution is designed around the specific component, materials, joint geometry, filler material and the requirements for quality, productivity and automation.
Rather than offering a standard machine configuration, we build the system around the application. This makes it possible to combine the appropriate laser source, process optics, filler material feeding, motion systems, fixturing, automation and safety solutions into a complete system.
Built around your application
The requirements for laser brazing vary depending on the component and production process. We therefore begin by analysing the application and the technical requirements that the process needs to fulfil.
When designing a system, we consider factors such as:
- materials and material combinations
- component geometry and joint design
- selection and feeding of filler material
- requirements for joint quality and surface finish
- production volume and cycle time
- fixturing and motion requirements
- automation and integration into existing production
- process monitoring and quality assurance
- laser safety and protective enclosures
Complete system integration
A customised laser brazing system can consist of several integrated subsystems. LMI AB helps select and combine the appropriate components based on the requirements of the process and production environment.
The system solution can include:
- laser source
- process optics and laser head
- wire or other filler material feeding systems
- fixtures and component handling
- linear axes, robots or other motion systems
- control systems and automation
- process monitoring
- laser safety enclosure and safety systems
From process evaluation to a complete solution
A stable laser brazing process requires the laser, filler material, joint geometry and motion to work together. Process evaluation is therefore an important part of developing a new system.
LMI AB helps you assess the technical requirements and develop a system solution tailored to the specific production process. The objective is a stable, repeatable and industrially viable process.
Automation for repeatable production
Laser brazing is well suited to automated production solutions where the laser head, filler material feeding and component movement can be controlled with high precision.
Depending on the application, the system can be designed as a standalone production cell or integrated into an existing production line.
Laser safety as part of the system
Laser safety must be designed according to the laser source, process and overall system configuration. A complete system solution can therefore also integrate protective enclosures, interlock systems, safety circuits, warning systems and other laser safety components.
Is laser brazing right for your application?
The first step is to evaluate the component and the process. LMI AB helps you analyse the materials, joint design, filler material, production requirements and automation needs to develop a suitable system solution.
Tim helps you select the right equipment and system solution for your brazing application.
