Welding is an important manufacturing process across many sectors – from automotive to aerospace, medical and consumer goods. When working on products like cars or pacemakers, it’s important that every component is built as intended. It can be a challenge when spending an extra second per part makes all the difference to the bottom line.
Queen’s University researchers developed a technology, called inline coherent imaging (ICI), that better measures depth penetration in laser welding. Using a near-infrared beam, this tool saves valuable time by allowing welders to measure accuracy in real time. The technology has now been commercialized under Laser Depth Dynamics.
