How thick can a hand-held laser welder weld

  05 Dec , 2022         Pan         13804

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 welder CAN weld steel plates with different thicknesses of 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 5mm. The power of the welding machine is 300W, 600W and 1000W respectively.
1.YAG laser welder
Welding with thickness of 3mm is the best.
2.300W laser welder
The thickness of surfacing shall not exceed 1.5mm. Of course, sometimes parameters set for slightly thicker points can also be welded by strength and thermal deformation, which is generally not acceptable.
3.600W laser welder
Suitable for laser welding of kitchen, household appliances and high-speed stainless steel, 1.5mm steel plate with thickness less than 1mm and penetration depth less than 1mm.
4.1000W laser welder
2mm thick stainless steel plate, fully welded, the finer the weld is the better.It is recommended to use 1000 W fiber laser welding, welding speed can be more than 1m/min, 500 W can also be used, but the speed is slow.
 
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

Sanitary industry: three dimensional arc welding water pipe joint, reducer joint, tee joint, valve and nozzle.Battery industry: Laser welding lithium batteries, battery packs and electrodes.Glass industry: stainless steel, titanium alloy and other materials of glass buckle, frame, and other parts of the precision welding.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.
