Blue welding – soldering

The new frontier in high-reflective-material processing

Thanks to the strong absorption of BLUE 450nm radiation by different kind of materials (up to 20x compared to IR wavelengths), our high-power BLUE laser can access the high-reflective-material processing market with much lower power densities compared to state-of-the-art IR lasers and so with longer lifetimes.

Welding, soldering on PCB boards, marking of thin high-reflective material foils (copper, aluminum) as well as textile cutting and marking (natural and synthetic fabrics), are the ideal applications of our high-power BLUE laser.
