LMF70-HP Laser

Amada Miyachi America Inc. announces the availability of the LMF70-HP, an addition to its LMF series of lasers. The 70 watt (W) LMF70-HP is ideal for welding small components and thin metals up to 0.01-inch (0.25 mm) thick. It is particularly well suited for welding battery tabs to cans (two thin sheets of metal), but can also weld thin wires (thermocouples, guidewires, etc.). In addition to welding, the unit is capable of engraving, deep engraving and cutting of metal, plastic welding and general-purpose, high-speed marking.
