One of Trumpf's goals at the Schweißen & Schneiden welding trade fair in Düsseldorf was to demonstrate how lasers can facilitate the welding process. Laser welding may not be able to replace every MAG weld seam, but it offers plenty of advantages in the cases where it can. The ongoing trend towards greater product customization poses a challenge to companies as they seek ways to produce small batches more efficiently. Cost per part is a key factor – and one way to reduce it is by minimizing throughput time.
