Laser welding machines are widely used in sheet metal processing, rail transit, automobile, engineering machinery, agricultural and forestry machinery, electrical manufacturing, elevator manufacturing, household appliances, grain machinery, textile machinery, tool processing, petroleum machinery, food machinery, kitchen appliances, sanitary ware, decorative advertising, laser external processing services and other fields. The following is the reasons why it is so popular in so many industries.
1. Simple operation, saving labor/material costs
It is easy to operate without professional welding technical experience. You can start the operation after 2 hours of simple training. Unlike traditional welding machines, which require professionals with operating experience, the use of hand-held laser welding machines can save the labor cost of employing professionals. The hand-held laser welding machine can basically achieve no consumables in the welding process and save costs in production.
2. Fast welding speed and high efficiency
Compared with traditional welding, the hand-held laser welding machine is super fast. One hand-held laser welding machine can basically replace the output of three to five ordinary welding machines. For enterprises, saving time means saving more money.
3. Good welding effect without grinding
The weld seam is bright and white after welding with hand-held laser welding machine, basically without grinding. The laser welding machine has concentrated energy, small thermal reflection range, products are not easy to deform, and the welding strength is very high. The energy and power of laser welding machine are digitally controlled, which can meet various welding requirements, such as full penetration, penetration, spot welding and so on.
4. Various welding materials
The hand-held laser welding machine can weld stainless steel plate, iron plate, galvanized plate, aluminum plate and other common metal materials.
5. Low requirements for processing environment
The hand-held laser welding machine does not need a special welding workbench. The equipment takes up small space and is flexible in processing. It is equipped with several meters of optical fiber extension lines, which can be moved for remote operation and is not limited by environmental space.
6. Sustainable work
The laser is equipped with water-cooling equipment to ensure continuous high intensity operation.
7. High cost performance
The hand-held laser welding machine can not only carry out welding operations, but also repair the mold, and can simply cut by replacing the cutting nozzle. The service life of the laser can reach 30 years, and it can be put into long-term use at one time with high cost performance.
8. High security
There are multiple safety alarms. The contact switch of the welding nozzle is effective only when it touches the metal. The light is automatically locked after the workpiece is removed, and the contact switch has temperature sensing. High safety to ensure the safety of operators during work.
Compared with traditional argon arc welding, hand-held laser welding machine has great advantages.
1. Energy consumption comparison: compared with traditional arc welding, the hand-held laser welding machine can save about 80%~90% of electric energy, and the processing cost can be reduced by about 30%.
2. Welding effect comparison: laser hand-held welding can complete welding of dissimilar steel and dissimilar metal. High speed, small deformation and small heat affected zone. The weld is beautiful, flat, free of/less porosity and pollution. The hand-held laser welding machine can carry out micro open type parts and precision welding.
3. Comparison of subsequent processes: the laser handheld welding has low heat input, small workpiece deformation, and can obtain a beautiful welding surface, without or only requiring simple treatment (depending on the requirements of the welding surface effect). The hand-held laser welding machine can greatly reduce the labor cost of huge polishing and leveling processes.
