Laser micromachining is a tightly controlled material removal process that is ideal for applications which require small, tight-tolerance features and complex geometries. The integration of ultrashort pulse femtosecond laser technology into advanced manufacturing machines enables stable production of high quality metal, polymer, ceramic, and glass parts for applications ranging from medical devices to electronics to aerospace components.
This presentation covers ultrashort pulse laser processing capabilities and its benefits in laser micromachining.

Standalone work cells or systems can be simple or very complex depending on the part design, desired throughput, and quality requirements. There are many components to a system including motion, vision, tooling, safety, and other considerations that go into the design.
In this presentation, we will take a fictitious part and design a sample system.

Batteries and battery packs – especially in the e-Mobility marketplace – require robust connections to ensure quality and performance. There are several different technologies available to address these applications, but one size does not fit all. AMADA WELD TECH supplies 3 primary technologies to make these connections:
Learn how to determine which one is best for YOUR unique application as we address some of the key considerations and benefits of each.
July 2020
Successful tab-to-cell connections determine the manufacturability of a battery pack. A number of challenges exist, including material selection, tolerances of fit-up, speed of assembly and monitoring to ensure that a successful weld joint was achieved. Proper equipment and process development will determine the quality and throughput that can be achieved.
What causes hermetically sealed packages to fail RGA? How is hermeticity tested and why is important?
This webinar attempts to answer that question by looking at industry standards, examining moisture and preventing moisture contamination and various ways to validate part hermeticity.
April 2020
Lasers are frequently used in medical device manufacturing. This includes processes like laser marking, laser welding, laser cutting, and laser micromachining. In this webinar, we explore some of the commercially available lasers for these application and several process examples.
Presented March 12, 2020
Selection of resistance welding equipment is not as simple as you may think. It depends on application driven factors: part materials, part placement, manufacturing requirements and power available in the facility, to name a few. Some common questions in appropriate equipment selection:
This webinar covers the different types of resistance weld heads and power supplies and the considerations and decisions that go into matching equipment to most micro joining applications.
Presented December 11, 2019
Reliability, quality, and throughput are key performance indicators in manufacturing. Production defects can include faults in the material, process, and equipment. The ability to quickly assess and also record weld quality is vital for production success.
This webinar covers the basics of laser weld process monitoring; we will discuss potential weld defects and how to detect them in real time. Available in English only or with Portuguese subtitles
Presented September 17, 2019
This webinar covers typical hermetic seam sealing applications using High Frequency Inverter seam welders for a range of markets including medical device manufacturing, electronic and communication devices.
Hermetic Sealing of Electronic Packages is the solution to protect sensitive components like implantable medical devices, RF and photonic communication devices and sensors that needs to withstand harsh or challenging environmental conditions by encapsulating these devices into leak tight metal or ceramic package. The hermetic seal can be realized by joining a metal lid to a metal housing by applying a series of overlapping weld spots creating one continuous weld joint.
Presented June 25, 2019
This webinar covers laser engine and beam delivery options for microwelding applications for a range of markets, including medical device manufacturing, automotive components, electronic leads, and batteries.
Microwelding can generally be defined as weld penetration <1 mm (0.040 in.) and weld width <1 mm (0.040 in.). Component size typically ranges from microscopic to hand-held.
Presented December 14, 2018
Our expert product engineers present the fundamentals of weld monitoring including what values can be measured, what can they tell you about your process and how checkers/monitors are typically implemented. Finally, they will present a future outlook for weld monitoring:
