Adjustable Mode Beam (AMB) lasers introduce a secondary ring beam that supports a high intensity core beam.
For welding, the core beam creates the weld while the ring beam stabilizes the weld pool, enabling high-speed, spatter-free welding which virtually eliminates defects like cracking and porosity.
Adjustable Mode Beam (AMB) lasers introduce a secondary ring beam that supports a high intensity core beam.
For welding, the core beam creates the weld while the ring beam stabilizes the weld pool, enabling high-speed, spatter-free welding which virtually eliminates defects like cracking and porosity.
Traditional laser welding uses a single focused beam to form the weld pool. Dual-beam technology adds a secondary ring beam that surrounds and supports this focused beam.
AMB lasers emit the central core beam and outer ring beam simultaneously and independently of one another. This enables users to control the parameters of each beam dynamically for greater control over process results.

For demanding E-Mobility applications, including Li-ion cell welding, busbar-to-cell welding, and welding of electric motor hairpins, high-speed and high-quality welding is critical to meet throughput requirements and ensure the quality and safety of the final product. AMB lasers enable the creation of high quality weld seams at the speeds necessary to make millions of individual welds a year.
The flexibility of AMB lasers enables more than just improved welding. AMB lasers enable high-speed, high-quality piercing and cutting across a wide range of materials and thicknesses, improving edge quality and surface finish while eliminating the need for multiple lasers or accessories.
Although aluminum has become an increasingly common solution for structural manufacturing, aluminum's high thermal conductivity creates challenges in welding quality and productivity. Rapid heat dissipation results in quick solidification of molten material, leading to cracking and porosity due to trapped plasma and shield gas bubbles that weaken joint strength. AMB lasers produce excellent welding results in structural welding applications, often eliminating the need for process gases.
Single beam laser welding of aluminum can cause underfill due to material loss from spatter ejection, leading to structural weakness and unacceptable surface roughness.
High-speed AMB welding of aluminum results in high-strength welds with no cracking, very low porosity, and an aesthetically pleasing finish.
