Minimum Requirements –2KW Handheld Laser Welder System
1.0 Background and Objectives
NSWCCD Code 622 is responsible for advancing research and development in the fields of welding and material processing. In addition to its core mission, the division provides engineering and technical expertise to NAVSEA technical warrant holders, a range of program offices, and other Department of Defense (DoD) organizations. Among its key initiatives is the “Welded Pressure Hull Model Process Improvement Study” program, sponsored by PMS 351. This initiative aims to optimize welding techniques to enhance the fabrication of pressure hulls. Emerging handheld laser welding technologies present a promising opportunity to significantly accelerate this process, particularly with novel alloys tailored for the next-generation SS(N)X submarine.
The objective of this contract is to acquire a handheld laser welding system that is user-friendly, requires minimal demonstration, and consistently delivers high-quality welds across various materials and thicknesses. The system should significantly enhance manufacturing efficiency and advance overall productivity.
