Laser welding machines offer cutting-edge technology for precise, repeatable weld joints in various industries. The machines use a focused laser beam to quickly and accurately weld metals and non-ferrous metals such as bronze alloys, copper, steels and stainless steels, aluminum, and even plastics.
They enable combustion-free weld seams with minimal thermal interference and virtually reduce process failures due to weld seam fractures to zero. The integrated CNC control provides 100% reproducible welding results combined with the shortest downtime in your process chain, maximum efficiency, and the lowest operating costs. This makes them ideal for companies that need to enhance their manufacturing efficiency while delivering high-quality, flaw-free products.
A laser welding machine uses the energy of a highly focused laser beam to join materials. The process is based on the intense heat generated by the laser to melt the surfaces of the workpieces and weld them together. The process is extremely precise and efficient, suitable for various materials and applications. The following process is typical:

The strip laser by HURAS is a highly integrated manufacturing solution combining precise fiber laser technology with automated material feeding for strip and tube goods. The system feeds raw or strip material from the coiling technology directly into the processing cell, executing cutting, separating, or welding processes in continuous flow.
The contactless laser process results in no mechanical wear, ensuring high service life and low maintenance costs. The CNC control accurately guides the laser unit with the axes of the welding table, enabling complex contours, punch-outs, and joining seams on thin sheet and tube strips without thermal distortion.
The strip laser by HURAS is primarily used in the automotive industry, medical technology, telecommunications, and connector manufacturing. It is ideal for the high-precision processing of contact spring strips, tube sleeves, micro assemblies, and delicate stamped-bent parts. Since the laser can perform both cutting and welding tasks in a single setup, complex intermediate steps and logistics are eliminated.
Even difficult-to-weld materials like stainless steel, copper alloys, and titanium can be processed physically. All parameters can be optimized and adjusted accordingly.
The laser technology makes traditional contour cutting of the welding edges unnecessary. No cutting elements/punching elements are required.
The entire cutting and welding process is automatically managed through sensors and profilometers. The energy used for pre-cutting and separating the material, as well as the actual welding process, is constantly monitored and optimized to the necessary level of heat input. The system does not allow any zone overheating that could lead to structural or hardness changes in the weld metal. This reduces the likelihood of punch fractures in stamping processes due to hardening, cavities, or geometric inaccuracies to practically zero.
As a specialist in stamping automation, HURAS integrates the strip laser with preceding leveling machines, pallet decoilers, and subsequent blister packaging systems. The strip material is continuously uncoiled, buffered in the material storage, and precisely guided through the laser cell under tensile stress. Separation and welding processes are triggered and executed based on control loops and predefined quantity parameters, eliminating any machine stops or packaging interruptions.
As a customer, you receive a comprehensive one-stop solution and can avoid second or third-party suppliers.
For new products, the time-consuming and costly production of new mechanical punching or cutting tools is eliminated with the strip laser. New cutting and welding contours are directly imported as STP data into the laser control and can be immediately used for welding parameter creation.
This allows for the economical establishment of new materials and complex variants on a single welding unit. The guide elements for different strip dimensions are adjustable without tools. As a result, the teach-in and start-up costs for new product introductions decrease.
The use of modern fiber laser sources in the HURAS strip laser ensures an extremely high efficiency with low power consumption. The air consumption for holding and positioning processes in the welding process is reduced by a factor of 80%, as no cutting presses are required anymore.
The compact design of the entire system saves valuable production space and enables resource-saving manufacturing. The mobile design, in connection with battery-supported data storage—no boot processes are necessary—means the device is ready for use at all welding workstations in the shortest time. We are happy to help you describe your efficiency gains.
