  • Method of determining intensity of laser light delivered to a weld area by laser delivery bundles
    Patent number: 11305380
    Abstract: A method for sensing intensity of laser light in a simultaneous laser welding system includes placing a smart part in a weld area. The smart part includes at least a laser light intensity sensor for sensing laser light directed at it. Laser light intensity is sensed by the laser light intensity sensor of the smart part which provides an output signal indicative thereof to a controller.

  • Glowing Part And Tooling In Simultaneous Laser Plastics Welding
    Publication number: 20190118295
    Abstract: Sensors incorporated within a laser bank detect light emitted by light sources that is directed into and travels through a delivery end of an associated laser delivery optical fiber. The light sources may be positioned between downstream of the delivery end of the associated laser delivery optical fiber and a lower tooling. In some embodiments, the light source is incorporated within a waveguide. In other embodiments, the light source is positioned within a dummy part.
