Precision Laser Welding: Galvo Scan Heads Accelerate Manufacturing
Precision laser welding demands rapid and accurate laser beam positioning. When paired with fiber lasers, galvo scan heads can significantly reduce point-to-point positioning times, potentially shaving seconds off cycle times for parts requiring multiple weld locations. These systems are particularly well-suited for welding within field sizes up to 100 x 100 millimeters (mm), making them an excellent choice for applications such as small medical devices, battery packs, and electrical interconnections. This article will explore the application of 2D galvo scan heads in laser micro welding processes. A m ADA WeLD TecH Inc. has been at the forefront of this technology, developing and integrating galvo solutions for a range of industries.
The hardware used to deliver a laser beam from the source to the workpiece is critical for performance. This includes components such as mirrors, shutters, collimators, fibers,
and focus heads. There are three primary laser beam delivery options: Fixed focus heads are typically mounted to a fixed vertical Z-stage, with parts moved to set points where the laser is fired. While offering excellent positioning capability, this method can be relatively slow due to the mass of the stages, tooling, and parts.
Wobble/weave focus heads, also usually mounted to a vertical Z-stage, introduce a small oscillation that "wobbles" the beam back and forth in a defined pattern. This wobble helps increase the size of the melt pool and join parts with lower manufacturing tolerances. As with fixed focus heads, parts are moved to set points for welding.
Galvo scan heads utilize two mirrors to direct the laser beam through an f-theta lens, focusing it within an XY area. The galvo scanning head is typically mounted on a programmable Z stage to adjust the working height and maintain focus.
The beam can be steered to any location within the field, typically around 100 mm x 100 mm for micro welding applications. because the position in the XY field is related to a small motion of the mirrors, a 25 mm move takes just a few milliseconds to advance, settle, and be ready for welding.
The primary advantage of a galvo scan head over a fixed head lies in its speed and agility. A fixed head requires high-precision motion stages to move the part and tooling under the head, which can be slow due to the mass involved. In contrast, the two mirrors in the galvo scan head are lightweight and can be moved quickly with minimal mass. A small rotation of the mirror translates to a large
linear movement. The time needed for a galvo beam to move from one corner to the next in a 100 mm x 100 mm field can be measured in milliseconds, compared to the potentially much longer time required for fixed focus heads. Galvo scan heads consist of two mirrors, each mounted on small rotary motors called galvanometers, or "galvos." These galvos are mounted orthogonally, translating the rotary motion of the mirrors into linear motion in the X- and Y-axes. The small size of the motors enables high-speed positioning, short settling times, and high acceleration/deceleration, making them ideal for high-speed, short-distance motion.
Galvo beams move very quickly over field sizes up to about 100 mm x 100 mm, making them best suited for spot and seam welding of smaller parts. The flexibility in programming the beam location, and the speed at which it can move also provides the capability to wobble the beam on top of the weld path to increase the melt area for butt weld and fillet weld situations – or to increase the weld contact area in a lap weld situation. In other words, if the weld path is in X direction, the wobble is the transverse Y direction providing additional width to the melt pool, thereby creating a larger weld nugget.
In industry, galvo scan heads are an excellent tool for assembling small battery packs, where each cell must be joined. They are also ideal for electrical interconnect applications, especially when joining 2 to 3 relatively close points for plugs or connections. Other typical applications include spot welds for a tray of parts, welding small medical devices, and seam sealing of microwave and rF packages for the aerospace industry.
While galvo beam welding offers several advantages, there are also some limitations. The scan field size is limited by the optic selection. For welds that extend beyond the field size, additional motion is required to move the beam to the desired locations. Galvo scanning heads primarily handle welds in a 2D plane. While some systems add a third dimension to quickly adjust the focal height, additional motion is required if the weld wraps around a three-dimensional part.
Integrating galvo systems requires careful consideration of both laser specifications and process requirements. mark boyle, Senior manager, Product engineering and Applications at A m ADA WeLD TecH INc ., explains, "To determine the right equipment, one must consider both the laser specifications and which galvo scan head is best suited, and the process requirements."
From the laser specification side, the divergence of the laser beam, wavelength, and laser power all need to be considered in order to select the correct optics and galvo scanning head to deliver the beam to part.
» Divergence of the beam (combined with the collimator) determines the size of the aperture of the scan head – and the optics required. The larger diameter typically results in a smaller field size.
» Wavelength – determines the coatings for the optics
» Laser power – determines whether the head needs air-cooling, water cooling, or both.
From the process side, field and spot size are the most important aspects, but these are often in conflict because it is desirable to have a large field and often necessary to have a small spot size. The field size is related to the f-theta lens. The larger field size results in a larger spot size.
» Field size – for welding applications and consistency
Design / composition
Collimator
across the entire field, a telecentric lens is preferred. This limits the field size to approximately 100 mm x 100 mm.
» Spot size – the desired spot size depends on the material, the process, and the welding success criteria.
Programming of galvo-based systems is typically done with graphical software that allows a variety of shapes and motions to be easily programmed in – or even imported from – a DXF or other c AD drawing file. The shapes then are programmed with laser power, speed, and frequency (if pulsed) at the most basic levels. The control card handles the timing between the laser firing and the galvo motion.
When integrating the galvo and laser, an additional consideration is the control and communication protocol that will be used. The galvo scanning head and laser are typically subcomponents of a larger system and may be controlled through an external PLc common communications protocols include Serial (rS-232 or 485) or remote API commands through TcP/IP, and ethernet/ IP field bus. In addition, there are a variety of optional features including vision and process monitoring systems, air knives, cover gas, lighting, autofocus, and mounting configurations.
Transitioning from older welding technology to laser galvo scanning brings a range of different and new considerations – including a new energy source that requires proper protective gear and a non-contact welding process that demands proper tooling to achieve a good fit-up between parts to weld. The design of the

part and weld path often needs to be reconsidered to take advantage of the galvo speed, and limitations of its positioning.
Galvo scan heads are worth considering for a variety of laser welding applications to facilitate quick and accurate point-to-point positioning. They are an ideal solution for extending the traditional motion of X/Y tables or robotics. The high repeatability lends itself to automation. When designing manufacturing process, having processes that can be timed appropriately lead to decreased cycle time and predictable throughput.
Galvo scanning technology offers many benefits for microwelding. For suitably designed parts, this technology can drastically reduce cycle times and improve production throughput for point-to-point welding and seam welding applications. Its quick motion can be used to quickly place multiple welds and also helps to overcome manufacturing tolerances in part fit-up. Galvo scanning is being employed in an ever-increasing array of applications and industries. e asy integration into laser welding work cells and automated production lines, eases uptake of this newer technology and makes it a versatile tool for microwelding.
