A system for making a welded assembly. The system may include a welding system that projects a laser beam that welds a first part to a second part. The system may further include a gas delivery device defining an interior cavity. The gas delivery device may include an inlet that provides pressurized gas to the interior cavity, and a discharge slot that receives the pressurized gas from the interior cavity and outputs the pressurized gas with substantially laminar flow toward the laser beam.

Gas delivery system

A system for making a welded assembly. The system may include a welding system that is configured to weld a first part to a second part with a laser beam. The system may further include an integrated feeder nozzle that includes an inlet manifold that receives a shield gas, and a nozzle body secured to the inlet manifold. The nozzle body may include a plurality of peripheral apertures that extend through the conical distal region and that are arranged around a central axis of the nozzle body. The system may further include a wire feeder disposed in the inlet manifold and the nozzle body. The wire feeder receives a welding wire and guides the welding wire to the central aperture.
