Laser welding in the manufacture of heart pacemakers
Abstract
Laser welding has become a key process in the manufacture of pacemakers but there are more powerful arguments than that for the use of lasers: (1) The laser is a most refined welding tool; (2) The laser simplifies pacemaker design; and (3) Laser welding is readily adapted to CNC control.
