Superior welding technology

Established in 2023, Upman Laser UK has been committed to the creation and practical applications of fibre laser cutting and welding machines. With over 35 years of experience, the company provides innovative solutions to its client’s needs and with quality, Upman can advise on the most effective equipment to be used for their customers varied projects.

Upman has three facets of corporate culture that lie at the heart of its business ethos. The Core Values embraces commitment, professionalism, integrity and innovation. The Upman Mission is to be known by every customer in the metalworking field and finally the Upman Vision which is to be the leading supplier in the laser processing industry.

Utilising the latest innovative technology, Upman looks at all parts of the welding process and how to make it more streamlined and effective for its customers. Maintaining high quality component parts increases an accurate and reliable result. For example, using a CypCut or HypCut operating system simplifies the complex CNC operations and incorporates CAD, Nest and CAM modules into one unit. Essentially allowing everything from design to cutting to be completed with minimal effort.

The laser cutting head can be adjusted automatically for more precise focus making the process convenient, fast, and accurate. The head has a variety of choices which can differentiate for different laser needs such as welding, surface treatments and cutting.

The machine bed is constructed to strict guidelines to ensure that reliability and durability are built in. To achieve this, each bed has heat annealing applied that alters the physical properties of the bed to increase its ductility and make the bed more malleable. The shot blasting occurs which is the propulsion of specific abrasive materials, fired at high velocity via a centrifugal wheel using kinetic energy to blast the abrasives.

The gantry used on all Upman machines, is constructed to Aerospace standard, and made from light-weight aluminium. As Aluminium has a resistance to corrosion and fatigue, it makes the components more durable for long-term use.

Two areas that Upman UK specialise in is Laser Cleaning Systems and Fiber Laser Welding. The Laser Cleaning System is an ecological positive process that removes substances such as oxides and paint rust without the use of industrial cleansers which can be time consuming and potentially hazardous, whilst sandblasting could damage the machine or the metal underneath whilst Laser cleaning is more cost-effective and reduces long-term maintenance. Fiber Laser Welding is a unique welding capability, which maximises penetration whilst using a minimal heat input. Coupled with auto single or double wire feed, the fibre welders are simple, effective, and easy to use.

For the future, Upman is taking a note of trends within the industry and whilst it is not legislation for laser safe enclosures to be installed as standard, Upman can offer bespoke solutions for specific requirements for a safe working environment. Within the Upman group, a number of live webinars and online tutorials are made available through the Academy Class, for the long-term education of the new generation of workers within this high-tech field.
