Laser Welding1

[velipicus1]

looks like a way to put another skilled man out of work

[buteaux34]

@velipicus1 Some skilled man is making that machine and another skilled man has to program that machine. Work does not disappear - it merely morphs into other work.

ALLAHU ACHBAR! *takes a bike and runs it to the lazer* hehehe, see if it will work now.

LOLz copying family guy is stupid >:3

You've got to show us the finished product, not just the process.

hehe "scho guet"

Always one step ahead of Min Chen

[cubber]

is this a solid state laser or a gas laser?

[pmgodfrey]

- @ cubber -

100% sure that's a gas laser simply because it's would be much less expensive to produce than a diode based system.

CO2 lasers in particular are very inexpensive. Usually their power supplies cost much more than the laser tubes themselves.

Though this might be true in the 1990's a newer technology has been proving it's self in industrial lasers, Fiber Lasers are now the industrial standard for this type of work.. they require nearly no maintenance for the first 10K hours, they are very powerful and have a resonator to work coupling far less complicated than conventional laser systems, whereas the fiber can be coupled directly to the objective lens, therefore excluding all the optics with only one exception.

@jsnsykes really? tell me more about this. Does it come handy to the retrofit cnc diy stuff or its generally cost restrictive

[slidnsideways]

Incredible power and precision. May I ask what part its welding?

The weldment is encased in TWO inch thick fixturing plates to ensure flatness.
