With the continuous upgrading and transformation of laser welding technology, laser welding technology has made a qualitative leap. Now, laser welding machines have been maturely applied in many fields, such as high-tech electronics, automobile manufacturing, precision processing, and other fields. As a direction of laser application, laser welding is a combination of current technology and traditional technology, but it has different advantages from traditional processing.

1.Good quality of laser beam

After laser focusing, the power density is high. The small spot diameter is formed by high-power low-order mode laser focusing.

2.Fast welding speed, large depth, and small deformation

Due to the high power density, small holes are formed in the metal material during laser welding, and the laser energy is transmitted to the deep part of the workpiece through the small hole, with less lateral diffusion. Therefore, the laser beam scanning process has a large depth of material fusion and a large welding area per unit time.

3.Laser welding is particularly suitable for welding precision-sensitive parts

Due to the large longitudinal-to-lateral ratio, small specific energy, small heat-affected zone, and small welding deformation, laser welding is particularly suitable for welding precision and heat-sensitive parts, which can eliminate post-welding correction and secondary processing.

4.High flexibility of laser welding machine

Handheld laser welding machine can achieve welding at any angle and can weld parts that are difficult to approach. They can also weld various complex welding workpieces and irregularly shaped large workpieces. Achieving welding at any angle has great flexibility.

5.Laser welding can weld difficult-to-weld materials

Laser welding can not only be used for welding between various heterogeneous metal materials but also for welding of titanium, nickel, zinc, copper, aluminum, chromium, niobium, gold, silver, and other metals and their alloys, steel, and superalloys.

6.Low labor cost of laser welding machine

Due to the extremely low heat input during laser welding, the post-welding deformation is small, and a very beautiful welding effect can be achieved, so the subsequent processing of laser welding is very small, which can greatly reduce or eliminate the huge manual polishing and leveling processes.

7.Simple operation of laser welding machine

The welding equipment of the laser welding machine is simple, the operation process is simple and easy to learn, and the professional requirements for the staff are not high, saving labor costs.

8.Strong safety performance of laser welding machine

The high safety nozzle only works when it touches the metal, and the touch switch has temperature sensing.

The dedicated laser generator has safety precautions during operation, and protective goggles for the laser generator must be worn during operation to reduce eye damage.

9.The working environment of the laser welding machine is diverse

The laser welding machine can be used in various complex working environments and can be welded at normal temperature or under special conditions. For example, laser welding is similar to electron beam welding in many aspects. Its welding quality is slightly inferior to electron beam welding, but electron beams can only be transmitted in a vacuum, so welding can only be performed in a vacuum, while laser welding technology can be more advanced. Used in a wide range of working environments.

10.The welding system is highly flexible and easy to achieve automation

However, laser welding machines also have certain limitations. Due to the high cost of laser-related systems, the one-time investment cost will be higher. In addition, laser welding machines require high installation accuracy of the welded parts, and the position of the light source on the commodity workpiece cannot have obvious deviations.

It can be seen that the top ten advantages of laser welding machines are much better than traditional welding methods. In the future, the application of laser welding technology will not be limited to the current fields of electronics, automobiles, instruments, and other fields. It will be more widely used in military and medical fields, especially in the medical field. It has broad prospects.
