It has its quarks, but when it runs smoothly,it is very effiecient. It still amazes me how quickly it can weld a panel with 35 to 40 welds in varying lengths and shapes, in as many seconds. Lasers are definitely the way alot of welding will be done in the future. My laser cell was the first of its kind at my company Ogihara America Co. We now have 5 laser cells, using 3 different laser welding systems. The technology just keeps advancing and progessing, and we aim to stay on top and as far out front with this tecnology as possible.

Any IR laser used for welding could be used so long as the optics for focusing the laser energy were properly tuned. It is likely the case that the robot laser head would need to keep a certain distance from the working surface to be most effective, any closer or any farther and it wouldn't work so well. -Scott The laser itself wouldn’t necessarily need to be too “badass”.

It might burn a little. That is definitely not something you want to step in front of accidently. It might burn a little.
