#FIBER LASER TECHNOLOGY         TECH INNOVATION





           laser technology has made it unnecessary
           to have any particular training in order
           to operate the equipment. Even unlikely
           conventional welding technology there
           is no requirement of setup for fiber laser
           welding machines. They can be simply
           transported to the job site.
             Welding systems based on fiber laser
           technology are the most cost-effective.
           There is no requirement for filler material.
           Even with this technology, the majority
           of health and environmental risks during
           welding have been eradicated. Fiber laser
           welding has good welding effect, i.e.,
           small heat affected area, no deformation,
           firm welding, all with an attractive look,
           for industries where good aesthetic look
           matters but also needs firm weld.
             Because no filler metals or consumable
           goods are needed, and heat penetration is
           regulated, this method saves a lot of time
           and energy by eliminating the pre- and
           post-grinding processes. This equipment,
           according to Mehta Cad Cam, can speed
           up welding processes by 2 to 3 times
           compared to old or conventional welding
           technologies.
             It was difficult to weld aluminium
           or other tough metals, even welding
           on dissimilar metals was challenging
           or welding low-thickness metals also
           proved tough job. With Mehta’s fiber laser
           machines any of these tasks can be easily   machine, which comes in two capacities,   robotics solutions from Mehta feature a
