Preco has extensive experience in laser welding ranging from high power thick section welding to micro joining of foils and small wires. We also have experience in processes such as hybrid welding, induction-assisted laser welding, and cold wire feed welding.
Laser heat treating is a surface modification process designed to change the microstructure of metals through controlled heating and cooling. Laser heat treating can target localized areas without affecting the entire work piece. Another surface modification process is laser cladding which is ideally suited for creating an entirely new surface as well as repairing damaged or worn surfaces (remanufacturing).
Preco specializes in systems for cutting and drilling round, tubular, flat sheet and hydro-formed parts. Laser cutting is a noncontact process that delivers highly accurate narrow kerf width cuts with a small heat-affected zone. Let our Preco engineers work with you to match the appropriate state-of-the-art laser with a system that will meet all of your needs.
