Combining the benefits of laser light and MIG arc welding offers production welding processes with greater weld gap bridging, deeper penetration, narrower weld seams and lower heat input. Just as the whole is often more than the sum of its parts, LaserHybrid is more than just a laser process plus a MIG (metal inert gas) welding process. With LaserHybrid, TPS-Fronius offers what it believes is the first-ever complete, industry-standard system. This integrated solution has tested for over one-and-a-half years in the German automobile industry.
