Understand how addressing these parameters can help manufacturers improve operations. For all the settings discussed in this series, first verify the parameter matches what is listed in the manufacturer documentation and paying particular attention to engineering units. Some applications are better served by displaying another value.

Precision laser welding in manufacturing requires fast, accurate positioning of the laser beam on the part. This article will focus on the application of 2D galvo scan heads in laser micro welding processes. Rather than a fixed beam at the output, however, a small oscillation “wobbles” the beam back and forth in a defined pattern.
