Typical materials304, 316L and 17-4 PH stainless
Parts we weld
Representative parts and applications
A sample of the components we laser weld. If it is weldable, we will find a way to do it. Customer drawings, part numbers and names are always held in confidence.
Medical and Surgical
Catheter and guidewire components
Tip, coil and marker band welds on fine wire and micro tubing, where the joint is often smaller than a millimeter.
Typical materials304V and 316LVM stainless, Nitinol, platinum iridium
Pacemakers and implantable devices
Hermetic perimeter seam welds on titanium pulse generator cans for pacemakers, neurostimulators and other active implants, plus feedthrough and header welds.
Typical materialsCP titanium, Ti-6Al-4V, MP35N, platinum
We also weld orthopedic implants and instruments, dental components, endoscope and camera housings, and surgical tools of all kinds.
Aerospace, Space and Sensors
Satellite propulsion components
Propellant line, valve and thrust chamber welds for satellite and spacecraft propulsion, where every joint has to hold in vacuum and through launch loads.
Typical materialsTitanium, Inconel, 300 series stainless
Precision sensors and transducers
Diaphragm and cap welds on pressure and temperature sensors with tight heat input control.
Typical materialsInconel, 17-4 PH, Kovar
Waveguides
Flange and seam welds on waveguide and RF components for satellite and radar systems, where distortion has to stay near zero.
Typical materialsAluminum, copper, brass
Hermetic packages and connectors
Lid seal welds on electronic packages and feedthroughs, built on decades of hermetic sealing work.
Typical materialsKovar, aluminum, stainless
Semiconductor Equipment
Ultra high purity gas line fittings
Butt welds on UHP tube, fittings and VCR glands where the inside bead has to be smooth, full penetration and free of discoloration.
Typical materials316L VAR and VIM VAR stainless
Bellows and vacuum assemblies
Bellows to flange welds and vacuum components that have to hold leak tight through thousands of cycles.
Typical materials316L, AM 350, Inconel 625
Thermocouples and heater assemblies
Sheath tip closures and transition welds on thermocouples, RTDs and cartridge heaters for process chambers.
Typical materialsInconel 600, 316 stainless, Hastelloy
Fluid Control, Energy and Industrial
