How thick can a hand-held laser welder weld
Hand-held laser welding machine is widely used in the stainless steel industry, so what is its welding effect? How thick can it be welded? What should I pay attention to when laser welding?
Is finding wider and wider in recent years, the application of stainless steel plate, in the mold maintenance, hardware technology of spot welding, electronic components, stainless steel sanitary equipment, faucets, mobile phone shell, clocks, nails, stainless steel elbow joint application in aspects of precision mechanical products is more and more widely, therefore, the encapsulation of ultra-thin stainless steel products and welding is particularly important.So how thick can you hold it?
The traditional welding method is difficult to ensure the forming quality of sheet metal, laser welding has the advantage that the traditional welding can not be compared, it can effectively reduce the welding defects. In laser welding industry, there are many manufacturers with laser welding stainless steel parts, its welding effect? Laser welding machines are good, and laser welding is also a good choice for stainless steel.
How thick is the hand-held laser welder?
The depth of laser welding is related to the properties of the material, including the thickness of the material.It is not possible to select the same parameters for the welding of carbon steel and titanium.
The laser welding machine can weld 1-6mm stainless steel, 1-10mm carbon steel and 1-6mm aluminum. The welding machine has an optional power range of 1500W-3000W.
1. YAG laser welder
Welding with thickness of 3mm is the best.
2. 1500W laser welder
The 1500W laser welding machine can weld stainless steel and carbon steel within 3mm and aluminum within 2mm. As moderate-power machines, they are suitable for thin to medium-thickness materials. They have a wide range of applications in the electrical industry for welding thin metal casings and medical equipment for welding thin stainless steel parts.
3. 2000W laser welder
2000W laser welders can weld 4mm stainless steel, carbon steel, 3mm aluminum. Higher power is suitable for thicker materials. They can weld medium-thick body parts in the automotive industry and various mechanical parts, tools and industrial equipment in the manufacturing industry.
4. 3000W laser welder
3000W laser welders can weld 6mm stainless steel, 10mm carbon steel, and 6mm aluminum. As high-power laser welders, they are suitable for thick materials and heavy industrial applications, such as welding structural steel and heavy machinery. High-power laser welders can ensure that thick and load-bearing components can be effectively connected.
We know that hand-held laser welders are commonly used in the production of kitchen utensils.To be exact, a hand-held stainless steel laser welder is used.
Compared with argon arc welding, laser welding machine can save energy 80% and 90%, and the processing cost can be reduced by about 30%.It can weld different kinds of steel and metal to achieve mechanization and automation.High speed, small deformation, small heat affected area, high aspect ratio.Beautiful weld, smooth, no porosity.No treatment or simple treatment is required after welding.Small focal length, no pollution, high positioning accuracy.Hand-held laser welder for small openings and precision welding.
The laser welding machine has low heat input, small deformation after welding, good welding surface effect and less subsequent treatment.Hand-held stainless steel laser welder can greatly reduce or eliminate the huge cost of manual welding.
Advantages of handheld laser welder:
Now, there are more advanced welding equipment - hand-held laser welders.Compared with traditional welding methods, what are the advantages of hand-held laser welder?
1. Easy operation: Manual welding can be done without expensive training costs.
2. Fast and efficient, wide processing range: Laser welding machine has concentrated energy, high welding efficiency, fast welding speed, smooth and beautiful welding seam, reducing the subsequent grinding process.
3. There are many kinds of welding materials: stainless steel, iron plate, galvanized plate, aluminum plate and other metal materials can be welded.
4. Breaking through the limitations of workpiece shape and processing environment: small solder joints, small heat-affected area, no need to set welding table, small space occupation, flexible processing, fast welding speed, long moving distance, not limited by environmental space.
5. Low maintenance cost: As long as the handheld laser welding equipment is equipped with a hand-held laser welding joint, the welding operation can be completed and the replacement cost of accessories is low.If you don't know how to replace it, you can just go to the manufacturer and fix it without worrying about the shipping and after-sales costs.
6. High cost performance: Handheld laser welder can not only carry out handheld laser welding work, but also carry out high-precision welding repair of molds through the platform in the later stage.It is the preferred cost-effective welding production equipment for smaller manufacturers.
After understanding the advantages of hand-held laser welders, let's take a look at the disadvantages of handheld laser welders!
Disadvantages of hand-held laser welder:
The hand-held laser welder should be mastered by the user.Long-term work will lead to fatigue, is not conducive to the welding of large parts, the use range is severely limited.
Application of Handheld Devices and applicable materials Laser welder Industry:
Applicable to various stainless steel mirror, stainless steel wire drawing, stainless steel ball, stainless steel coating, stainless steel spray molding, stainless steel solid, stainless steel plating, stainless steel gold foil, precision stainless steel, titanium surface, titanium, etc.Spherical, precision titanium, flat copper, spherical copper, Chinese character copper advertisement, ancient copy copper, precision aluminum character, iron paint character (stainless steel belt, iron belt, low carbon steel belt), metal character welding molding, lighting and mold industry, photoelectric communication equipment, medical, electronic, copper, aluminum, small welding industry.
Application scope of optical fiber laser welding
Automotive Industry: Fiber laser welding is widely used in the automotive sector for assembling car bodies, engine components, and battery systems in electric vehicles.
Medical Device Manufacturing: Fiber laser welding is used to fabricate surgical instruments, implants, and medical devices requiring hygienic, non-porous, and durable welds. Its precision ensures high-quality results in materials like titanium and stainless steel.
Construction and Architecture: Fiber laser welding is employed in the construction of structural components, decorative metal panels, and facades. Its ability to join metals seamlessly supports both strength and aesthetic appeal in building projects.
Sanitary industry: Three-dimensional arc welding water pipe joint, reducer joint, tee joint, valve, and nozzle.
Hardware industry: impeller, kettle, handle, etc., welding complex stamping parts and castings.
Laser welding is a non - contact welding, the working process does not need pressure.It works by shining a high-energy laser directly on the surface of the material.By laser interaction with the material, the material melts inside and then cools and crystallizes to form a weld.
In programming, the accurate processing technology and processing route must be determined according to the actual situation, in order to prevent the workpiece from being scrapped or blocked in advance due to insufficient processing position or lack of edge strength.
When the laser welding machine began to weld, pay attention to observe and judge whether the processing is not chaotic, found defects timely adjustment.
Safe production is what every enterprise must do.The correct operation of the laser welder is no exception.Only master the normal use of laser welding machine, in order to create more value for enterprises. For more information about the safe operation of laser welding machines, please refer to the laser welding machine operation manual. Safe operation can reduce the enterprise's unnecessary loss.
