ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus for performing a joining operation to couple a first component to a second component. One embodiment of the present apparatus includes means for aligning the first component and the second component so that a first portion of the first component is aligned with a first portion of the second component, means for heating the first component so that a melt is formed at the first portion of the first component, and means for forcing the first portion of the second component into the melt so that when the melt solidifies, the first component and the second component are bonded. In the exemplification embodiment, the heating means is an Nd:YAG laser source which emits at least a first laser beam which impinges upon one of the components.
