Prototype/Production Welding:

Are you looking to develop a new product? Perhaps you are considering the use of laser welding as a way of improving an existing component. ABR offer a prototype welding service in all materials including aluminium, copper and titanium. Using lasers ABR can weld thin wall or delicate components with minimal heat input and distortion. The laser beam can also access restricted areas conventional welding techniques cannot reach. Prototype welding can be extended to the welding of small trial batches often without expensive fixture costs. ABR can also advise on the weldability of your component/material, fixture design and weld testing.

Also available silver soldering/brazing All but the largest undertakings are completed on a while you wait/next day basis. An overnight courier service links us with our more distant customers, or we can collect/deliver tools personally.
