SUMMARY:AILU Half-Day Workshop - Handheld Laser Applications
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nChair: Paola de Bono (TWI) \nHand-held laser systems for welding\, cleaning\, and marking have grown rapidly in recent years\, driven by falling fibre laser costs\, compact and ruggedised delivery optics\, and demand from industries seeking flexible\, portable alternatives to fixed automation. From shipyards and oil & gas maintenance to fabrication shops and heritage conservation\, these systems are being deployed across an increasingly broad range of applications — and the market shows no sign of slowing. \nYet hand-held operation introduces challenges that fixed-beam systems do not face. Operator technique directly affects process quality; fume and radiation hazards are less easily controlled; and buyers navigating a crowded supplier landscape often find it difficult to assess what a system is truly capable of. \nThis workshop brings together experts from across the sector to address these questions directly. Topics will include: \n\nTechnology — how hand-held laser systems work\, and how current designs have evolved\nCapability — what welding\, cleaning\, and marking applications are achievable\, and what their limits are\nSafety — the regulatory landscape\, risk assessment\, and practical control measures for hand-held operation\n\nWho Should Attend \nThis workshop is relevant to anyone involved in hand-held laser systems: equipment manufacturers and distributors\, system integrators\, safety officers\, end users in manufacturing\, maintenance\, or conservation\, and organisations considering purchasing a system for the first time. Whether you supply\, specify\, or operate — or are simply evaluating whether hand-held lasers are right for your business — this event will provide the knowledge and contacts you need. \nThe Workshop will be followed by the AILU AGM. \n  \nProgramme \n09:30 – 10:00  Registration \n10:00 – 10:10 Welcome\nPaola De Bono\, TWI \nSession 1\n \n10:10 – 10:30  Handheld Laser Welding Systems – An Aerospace End User Perspective\nMark Dodds\, ITP Aero \n10:30 – 10:50  Handheld Laser Cleaning Capability and Performance on Grade 5 Ti 6Al 4V\nAli Khan\, TWI \n10:50 – 11:10 Laser Cleaning at Scale: A Real World Case Study\nHarvey Allpress\, LaserTec Laser Cleaning \n11:10 AM – 11:40  Break \nSession 2 \n11:40 – 12:00 Reduced Hazard Handheld Laser Cleaning Using Retina Safe Wavelengths\nTara Murphy\, Woodrow Scientific \n12:00 – 12:20 Hand-held Laser Safety Standards are Changing: Are You Ready ?\nNeal Croxford\, Dovecote Technologies \n12:20 – 12:40 Laser Safety for Handheld Laser Systems\nRoss Tomlin\, Pro-Lite Technology \n12:40 – 13:30  Lunch \n13:30 – 14:20  Tour of TWI Labs (optional) \n14:30 – 15:30  AGM (optional) \n \nVenue\nTWI\nGranta Park\nGreat Abington\nCambridge\nCB21 6AL \n  \nTravel\nDirections to the venue can be viewed here \nPublic transport links are here  \n  \nDirections on Granta Park \n \nOnce through the security barrier\, take the second exit at the roundabout and follow the road until the next roundabout\, then take the first exit on the left.
