Abstract: A laser welding apparatus includes a laser medium, an excitation light source and a control unit. The control unit supplies drive power to the excitation light source to inject excitation energy to the laser medium. The control unit supplies preliminary excitation power, which is smaller than pulsed drive power, to the excitation light source over a preliminary supply time, which is longer than a pulse width of the drive power before welding the first weld to be welded. After the preliminary supply time elapses and then an interval, the pulsed drive power is supplied to the excitation light source to weld the first weld.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus of feeding workpieces, capable of preventing generated contaminants from adhering workpieces and improving stabilization in a discharge rate of the workpieces while having advantage of the drum type. The apparatus has a mesh drum, a rotary drive and an angle adjuster. The mesh drum has a mesh circumferential wall that defines a space for accommodating workpieces, the mesh drum is configured to be rotated and tilted by the rotary drive and the angle adjuster. The mesh drum has a mesh size of the mesh circumferential wall being set according to form of the workpieces to ensure the separating of the workpieces.
