Essential Considerations for Laser Welding – From Component Design to Implementation — As the use of lasers become more widespread, designers and product engineers need to gain familiarity with not only the properties, advantages and applicability of the laser welding process, but also with how to design components, assemblies and systems for successful laser welding. Presenter: David Havrilla, TRUMPF Inc.

Introduction to Industrial Laser Welding — Discussions of the different laser welding regimes and how they compare to other welding technologies. Presenter: Tom Kugler, Laser Mechanisms Inc.

Laser Sources for Industrial Laser Welding: Fiber, Disk and Diode — Several of the most common laser technologies will be presented with an explanation of their mode of operation, distinctive characteristics and typical applications. Presenter: Jean-Philippe Lavoie, Coherent Inc.

Material Selection for Laser Welding — This presentation will provide a primer on how to make the right choice, and review the recommended materials for the medical, automotive and electronics industries and why to select those materials. Presenter: Geoff Shannon, Coherent Inc.

System Overview for Laser Welding — Elements of a laser welding system are presented, covering how the laser light is delivered to the work area, focus heads, how the part or laser is moved to create the well and the importance of tooling. Presenter: Mark Boyle, Amada Miyachi America

Hybrid Laser Welding — This presentation will cover the technology and process for your fabrication needs. Presenter: Paul Denney, IPG Photonics

Laser Welding and Additive Technologies — The presentation will include: Why to use a laser for welding, hybrid laser welding and industrial additive manufacturing with lasers. Presenter: Wayne Penn, Alabama Laser

Fiber Laser Cutting and Joining: Recent Advances in Technology, Tools, and Applications — Industry leaders will discuss recent developments in fiber-laser-based cutting and joining. Presenter: Brian Smith, Precitec

Laser Process Monitoring – The Use of Data — Laser process monitors, combined with machine learning methods can identify production variations in laser welding processes. Presenter: Mark Rodighiero, Amada Miyachi America
