MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC News Releases Mitsubishi Electric’s New Fiber-laser Welding Technology Dramatically Reduces Spatter for Faster Welding

TOKYO, May 17, 2018 – Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) and its affiliate company Tada Electric Co. announced today their joint development of a new fiber-laser welding technology that cuts flying molten metal (spatter) by 95 percent or more*.

Whereas conventional spatter levels can lower the quality and speed of fiber-laser welding, the new low-spatter technology raises the welding quality and productivity of high-power fiber-laser welding for industrial applications such as steel processing, automobile production and electrical equipment installations.

The new technology is expected to be incorporated in laser-welding machines that will appear in 2019.
