Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided. Aspects include configuring beam parameters of at least one laser of a set of lasers based on a target welding strength associated with welding together a first material and a second material and characteristics of the first material and the second material. Aspects include controlling the set of lasers in association with welding together the first material and the second material, wherein controlling the set of lasers is based at least in part on configuring the beam parameters of the at least one laser.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- configuring beam parameters of at least one laser of a set of lasers based on:
- a target welding strength associated with welding together a first material and a second material;
- and
- characteristics of the first material and the second material;
- and
- controlling the set of lasers in association with welding together the first material and the second material, wherein controlling the set of lasers is based at least in part on configuring the beam parameters of the at least one laser.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor set;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media to cause the processor set to perform operations comprising:
- configuring beam parameters of at least one laser of a set of lasers based on:
- a target welding strength associated with welding together a first material and a second material;
- and
- characteristics of the first material and the second material;
- and
- controlling the set of lasers in association with welding together the first material and the second material, wherein controlling the set of lasers is based at least in part on configuring the beam parameters of the at least one laser.
A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media to perform operations comprising:
- configuring beam parameters of at least one laser of a set of lasers based on:
- a target welding strength associated with welding together a first material and a second material;
- and
- characteristics of the first material and the second material;
- and
- controlling the set of lasers in association with welding together the first material and the second material, wherein controlling the set of lasers is based at least in part on configuring the beam parameters of the at least one laser.
