ADVANCING FABRICATION WITH LASER WELDING

UNISIG designs and builds deep hole drilling machines and automation systems. We provide the latest tools, equipment, and technology so our skilled team can take pride in their work and enjoy producing high-precision machines. One of those tools is our hand-held laser welder. We fabricate machine enclosures and other components that require long, watertight, clean welds. Our team of welders has used the latest MIG and TIG welding technologies to deliver high-quality results. When laser welding became viable, we saw its potential, but it took planning and preparation to bring it online. 

Better Welds, Faster

Our Fab Shop Manager evaluated the technology, chose the equipment, and brought one of our welders with him for training. Safety is a priority at UNISIG. While we waited for delivery, we engineered and built a custom welding enclosure (including the door and electronic interlocks) to exceed safety standards for laser welding and fit perfectly in our space.

We still use MIG for heavy plate and TIG for fine detail work, but the laser welder has proven effective across a wide range of applications. It produces clean, watertight welds across full panels without heat distortion at speeds that seem impossible until you see it in action. These clean welds require minimal finishing, improving workmanship and reducing costs.

Why it Matters

The right tools and equipment change the work—and what’s possible in engineering design. Investing in the latest manufacturing technology helps us do precision work faster. It also makes the job more fun and rewarding for our team. 

This is what “the desire to find what’s next” looks like at UNISIG. We don’t wait for innovation. We build it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laser welding lets us produce cleaner, stronger, and watertight welds faster and with less finishing work. This boosts precision, reduces costs, and expands what’s possible in machine design. Our customers benefit from higher quality and faster delivery of machines.

We continue to use MIG welding for heavy plates and TIG welding for detailed tasks. Laser welding adds a new level of speed and quality, especially watertight welds along full panels without heat distortion.
