Laser Welder Optimizes Mold and Die Repair Expenses

Using Sunstone Welders’ Orion Combo 200 laser welder, companies are able to easily maintain or repair expensive molds on their own.

From its generator to the fiber optic output, the Orion Combo 200 is said to makes fast work of shaping and adding metal to worn or damaged molds and dies. Mounted on an articulating arm, the Orion Combo 200 easily moves to any position needing repair. The power range is adjustable from 0.1 to 200 joules, applicable for work on a wide variety of metal types and applications including edge repairs; hole repairs; identification engraving; small weldments; EDM pit repairs; adding material for shimming; tool repairs and porosity repairs.

The laser welder has several additional features:

  Pulse-shape settings for configuring the weld to specific metallurgic characteristics.
• High-efficiency components that run cooler, reduce stress on critical-wear parts, maintain notably longer service life and reduce maintenance.
• Repeatable control over laser parameters to deliver precise results with every weld.
• High-efficiency fiber optics deliver higher average power output with fewer joules.
• User-friendly, digital touchscreen control.
• An advanced constant-voltage inverter power supply eliminates power spikes, which improves efficiency and drastically extends the life of the flashlamp.
