Laser Welding: A Revolution in Manufacturing Processes - Automotive Magazine

Advantages of Laser Welding

Laser welding brings several major advantages compared to traditional methods such as TIG and MIG. “Laser welding is up to 14 times faster than MIG/MAG and TIG methods, which represents a significant improvement in productivity,” says Jiří Rak, Sales Director of FANTECH Europe. In addition to its speed, this technology also minimizes material deformation, making it ideal for precision applications, such as the production of medical devices or pharmaceutical components.

Another undeniable benefit is the high quality of the welds, which require no further finishing.
“With laser welding, you achieve smooth and precise welds without the need for additional grinding or polishing. This is especially important in industries where hygiene and flawless appearance matter, such as food and pharmaceutical industries,” explains Marek Čech, co-owner of FANTECH Europe.

Safety and Innovation in Laser Welding Booths

FANTECH Europe puts a strong emphasis on the safety of its equipment. In addition to the laser welding machines, the company also offers welding workstations that protect operators from intense radiation and fumes. At the same time, they protect people outside the facility from potential welding-related risks. This ensures the safety of both operators and also the entire workplace environment. The booths are designed to meet the strictest safety standards while providing maximum operator comfort. The undeniable advantage is their modular design allowing customers to choose the workstation size according to their available space and operational needs.

“Our laser welding workstations provide maximum protection against laser radiation by enclosing the working area and preventing unwanted beam exposure,” explains Jiří Rak. In addition the booths are also equipped with advanced safety sensors that monitor the machine’s operation and automatically shut it down and stop the laser if necessary. “This is nowadays crucial, as industrial safety requirements are constantly increasing. Our FANTECH LWG 4.0 EXPERT welder, as well as the FANTECH LWS 4.0 OPTIMAL workstation, have been certified according to EN 60825-1 and EN 12254 safety standards. At the same time all devices also comply with European CE technical regulations,” adds Marek Čech.

Wide Range of Materials for Welding and Cleaning

FANTECH laser welders and cleaners are designed and engineered to handle a variety of materials, including the most demanding ones. Laser welding is ideal for stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, copper, and brass. Thanks to its high precision, it is easy to join even thin-walled materials or parts with complex shapes.

Laser cleaners can effectively remove rust, oils, coatings, or other contaminants from metal surfaces without the need for chemicals. This environmentally friendly approach is appreciated not only by industrial companies but also by restoration workshops dealing with the preservation of historical artifacts.

Comprehensive Services from Training to After-Sales Support

FANTECH Europe is not limited to development and high-end equipment sales only. “We offer our customers comprehensive services, including professional training, to help them make the most of the potential of our laser technology. This enables customers to quickly adopt efficient and safe working procedures, delivering maximum productivity. We also provide both warranty and post-warranty service on all machines supplied. We want our customers to be confident that they can rely on us at any time, whether they need technical support, maintenance, or repair,” says Jiří Rak.

Try Our Laser Technology in Our Showroom

One of the unique benefits FANTECH Europe offers is the opportunity to visit our showroom in Opava. Upon request, customers can test all FANTECH devices directly on their own materials. This allows them to experience the advantages of laser welding and cleaning firsthand and make an informed decision based on real results. “We want our customers to be sure that the technology we offer meets their needs. The showroom is the perfect place for them to see the quality of our technology themselves,” explains Marek Čech.

Laser Equipment for the Future of Industry
