HAIFA, Israel -- Plasma-Laser Technologies (PLT) Ltd. has coupled arc plasma and a laser beam to produce a cutting and welding tool that offers more than just the sum of the two systems. The notion of augmenting a laser beam with a plasma arc for welding has been around since the late 1980s. Until recently, devices consisted of separate laser and plasma heads directed at the point of work. One advantage of these hybrid systems is enhanced welding speeds of 1.5 to 4 times that of conventional plasma welding systems. In the past, however, these improvements came at the cost of high laser power...Read full article
