Advantages and disadvantages of laser welding machines

More and more laser welding machines are appearing in the market, which has become a trend, especially in areas where traditional welding machines are powerless. Laser welding machines occupy an important position with their unique advantages.

The advantages of laser welding machines

  1. Laser welding machines weld quickly and deeply, with narrow and almost no deformation in the weld seam, resulting in less processing capacity in the later stage.

 

  1. Laser welding machines are non-contact welding, which makes them more safe. The premise is that during the operation of the laser welding machine, hands must not come into contact with the laser beam.

 

  1. Laser welding machines can weld a variety of materials, including difficult or even impossible metal materials such as electric welding machines and argon arc welding machines. They can also weld two different types of metal materials, as well as non-metallic materials such as organic glass and ceramics.

4. Laser welding is highly flexible and has a wide range of applications. It can weld materials with special shapes beyond ordinary shapes, as well as parts that are not easily accessible.

5. The spot size of the laser welding machine can be adjusted, and in small and micro welding, it can focus very small spots for precise welding.

6. Laser welding machines can achieve large-scale automated production and save costs.

7. Laser welding machines have no welding conditions limitations and can perform welding in various weather, temperature, and environments.

Disadvantages of laser welding machines

1. High equipment price: The price of laser welding machines is relatively high, and for some small enterprises, the cost is relatively high.

2. High cost: The cost of laser welding machines is also relatively high, requiring regular replacement of components such as lasers.

3. High environmental requirements: The use of laser welding machines requires high safety measures and should be carried out in a relatively enclosed environment to prevent laser damage to human health.

4. Welding materials: Laser welding machines have high requirements for welding materials and can only weld certain specific metal materials.

Any welding equipment may lead to welding defects, which is an inevitable problem. In contrast, the advantages of laser welding machines are more prominent. To exaggerate, laser welding machines are currently very advanced and have no other problems besides being expensive.
