Abstract
The activities connected with introduction of laser welding into the cycle of PC box manufacturing are briefly described. A laboratory comparison among three Nd:YAG sources with powers of 550W, 1000W and 2000W is reported. The use of lasers introduced original solutions in welding, with important changes in the manufacturing cycle and consequent cost reductions related to painting and handling. Other advantages such as higher production rates, improved quality, reduced maintenance time, ability to generate a just-in-time policy, the possibility of upgrading with no set-up cost, and related consequences on costs, are discussed.
