Light-Pumped Laser Welding Systems

Light-pumped laser welding systems are a category of solid-state laser machines used for precision welding applications. These systems utilize a laser-active medium—commonly neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG)—which is optically pumped by a light source, such as a flashlamp or laser diode. Light-pumped systems are widely used in industrial settings for fine and micro-welding tasks across various materials and components.

Principle of Operation

Light-pumped systems function by exciting a laser medium using intense light, typically from a flashlamp. The excited medium then emits a coherent laser beam, usually at a wavelength of 1064 nanometers, which can be precisely focused onto a small area of a workpiece.

This concentrated energy melts the surface material, enabling localized fusion without the need for physical contact or filler material. The result is a clean, narrow weld with minimal thermal distortion.

System Components

A typical light-pumped laser welding system consists of:

• Laser resonator containing the Nd:YAG rod
• Pump source (flashlamp or diode)
• Cooling system (air or water cooled)
• Beam delivery system (optical arm or fiber)
• Control interface (manual or CNC-integrated)

Applications

Light-pumped laser welding systems are used across numerous industries where high precision and material integrity are critical. Typical applications include:

• Jewelry manufacturing – Welding of chains, frames, and clasps
• Medical devices – Joining of titanium and stainless steel components
• Electronics – Micro-welding of sensor housings and contacts
• Toolmaking and mold repair – Precision welds on steel molds and dies
• Aerospace and automotive – Small-scale welding and repair of alloy parts

Advantages

Light-pumped systems offer several benefits:

• Non-contact welding with minimal mechanical stress
• High pulse energy for deep, precise welds
• Oxidation-free joints, even without shielding gas
• Repeatability suitable for production environments
• Compatibility with CNC automation

Limitations

Despite their benefits, these systems have some drawbacks:

• Higher initial cost than traditional welding equipment
• Maintenance requirements such as lamp and optic replacement
• Safety considerations due to laser radiation (Class 4 safety rating)
• Operator training required for optimal performance

Comparison with Fiber Lasers

Feature	Light-Pumped (Nd:YAG)	Fiber Laser
Pumping method	Flashlamp or diode	Diode-pumped via fiber
Beam delivery	Optical arm or fiber	Flexible fiber-optic cable
Electrical efficiency	Moderate	High
Maintenance frequency	Higher	Lower
Cooling requirements	Moderate to high	Low to moderate
Application focus	Welding, repair, precision	Cutting, welding, marking

Operator FAQ

❓ How do I know if the laser is properly focused?

✅ Use the focus guide in the camera view. When the spot is smallest and sharpest, it’s in focus. For best accuracy, use a test fire and adjust Z-axis slightly.

❓ What should I do if the laser won’t fire?

1. Check if the safety door is closed.
2. Confirm emergency stop is released.
3. Make sure the system is in “Ready” mode (green icon in Sigomatic).
4. Ensure cooling system is on.

❓ What pulse settings should I start with?

Use these starting points:

• Steel: 2.5 ms / 5 Hz / 40% power
• Aluminum: 3.5 ms / 3 Hz / 60% power
• Gold/Silver: 1.2 ms / 4 Hz / 25% power
  Adjust for weld depth and appearance. Always test first.

❓ Can I save my custom settings?

✅ Yes. After completing a job, go to:
Jobs → Save As → Name your setup → Confirm
This saves motion paths, pulse settings, and laser parameters.

❓ How do I move the welding head?

• Use the joystick or touch arrows on the screen.
• For fine tuning, use step mode under “Axes Control”.

❓ Is it safe to leave the system on?

🔒 Only if supervised. For safety:

• Never leave the laser in “Ready” mode unattended.
• Always turn off the main switch after your shift.

❓ How often should I clean the optics?

Recommended: every 50 hours of operation or weekly.
