Synopsis : Kawasaki Steel Corp. (KSC) has developed CO2 laser welders for the sheet steel production process. Four sets of CO2 laser welders have already been installed on the production floor, since the first laser welder was installed for coil build-up line at Hanshin Works in 1981. The 5kW CO2 laser welders installed for pickling lines as Mizushima and Chiba Works in 1983 have unstable resonaters, and wire feeders. Those are the first industrial application of 5kW CO2 laser in Japan, which can weld all kinds of steel strips measuring up to 6mm in thickness, and up to 1880mm in width. |
