Robotic Laser Welding
In the oil and gas industry, laser welding is also widely used due to its advantages some of which are given below for your ready reference.
- Laser welding provides the ultimate precision welding solution and is therefore preferred while handling complicated joints. The precision of laser welding is essential to weld very small parts without damaging them.
- Laser welding welds dissimilar materials. Additionally, it welds those areas which are very hard to reach using the traditional welding process.
- Laser technology also uses very low heat during the welding process. This is excellent for minimizing any distortion to the parent material. This reason makes laser welding the preferred choice for the oil and gas industry where any underlying damage to the parent material during the welding process, in the long run, can damage that part.
- Laser welding can be done even when the tools (like Electronic Sub) are in the electrically wired condition.
- Laser welding makes a consistent and repeatable weld resulting in uniform quality of weld throughout the system. Laser welding is also faster compared to traditional methods and is much more versatile.
- Laser welding makes high-strength welds. The reason being there is no need for filler material and laser provides an excellent weld quality which is essential in the oil and gas industry where the safety of the welded joints is paramount.
