Miyachi Unitek (Monrovia, CA) announced a new application--battery pack/tab laser welding. Pulsed Nd:YAG lasers are perfectly suited to address these battery tab and pack welding challenges. Already established in many other battery welding applications, pulsed Nd:YAG lasers are ideal for performing cost-efficient tab and pack welding with minimal heat input. They offer an extremely fast and flexible joining method capable of welding many spots in under a second. Nd:YAG lasers are perfect for joining high conductivity tab materials and orientating the welds to match the strength requirements with no limitation on weld diameter or proximity.

Miyachi Unitek designs and manufactures a full range of resistance welding and reflow soldering power supplies, heads, monitors, and accessories for both large scale and fine spot applications requiring precision metals joining, lasers and laser systems for welding and marking, and hermetic sealing systems, gloveboxes and environmental enclosures. The company offers applications and process development support at no charge.
