Investigation of a system for micro-alignment and assembly manufacturing with respect to laser fine weldability
thesis
posted on 2018-06-27, 13:58 authored by Andreas BuentingLaser beam welding processes, with their inherent potential of controlling the energy
input, give rise to new applications with respect to the manufacturing of optical active
and compact laser diode beam assemblies. In electronics and fine mechanics, components
require increasingly high strength joining technologies to replace the conventional gluing
or soldering process. Alternative joining methods for commercial laser diode beam
assemblies often reach their limits in terms of product quality and reliability.
The objectives of this thesis, examined by the author, are as follows: The first objective
is the development and validation of a semi-automatic laser fine welding station (pulsed
Nd:YAG-lasers) with an automatic micro-alignment solution for optomechnical
components.
The second objective in the course of this work is the construction and manufacturing of
new laser diode beam assembly (LDBA), taking into account the laser weldability of the
components. This includes the development of a reliable laser fine welding procedure
supported by a FE-analysis of the clamped components during welding. [Continues.]
