Laser welding technology is becoming mature

Automated laser welding equipment


From the perspective of the entire industrial manufacturing field, automated laser welding can be applied to the production of automobiles, high-speed rail, ships, aircraft, rockets, and other products.

The most important application field of laser welding automobile, for example, laser welding in the 1980s was used in the automobile body-in-white manufacturing. 21st century, to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and other leading German brand automobile manufacturers, the first in the domestic joint venture companies in the field of body manufacturing application of laser welding process.

 

Nowadays, laser welding production line has become the standard equipment of body welding workshop. Laser welding can bring huge economic benefits to the automobile manufacturing industry. Compared with resistance spot welding, which is the most widely used method in car body assembly, the main advantages of laser welding are as follows: Reducing the weight of the car body and saving the production cost. Resistance spot welding in the production process needs to consume electrode caps, electrode rods, tools, and other accessories, while laser welding has almost no consumption of accessories.

 

In the future in the manufacture of large metal components, laser welding will open up a broader market. In the field of micro-structure welding, laser welding non-contact, high precision, and flexible features also make it possible to realize all kinds of 3C products fine micro-welding, further expanding the laser welding market.

 

Handheld Laser Welding Equipment

 


In addition to automated laser welding equipment, advances in handheld laser welding technology have brought more applications for laser welding. The large footprint, high cost, and inflexible use of automated laser welding equipment have made handheld laser welding equipment the ideal solution for metal fabricators.

 

Handheld laser welding machines after years of development, gradually overcome the previous handheld laser welding machine's large size, high requirements for the accuracy of the fit, the operation of the safety of the hidden trouble, and other pain points.

 

The current volume of air-cooled handheld laser welding machines and the traditional manual arc welding machine approximation, oscillating spot technology reduces the welding machine workpiece clearance requirements greatly reduced, the addition of sensors to improve the equipment security greatly improved, the most important thing is that the price of the handheld laser welding machine from the early years of the more than one hundred thousand a down to tens of thousands of dollars nowadays, which makes the handheld laser welding on the advertisement, mold repair, stainless steel sanitary ware, sheet metal cabinets, Electrical boxes and cabinets, stainless steel doors and windows and closet furniture and other industries have a very high attraction.

History of Lasers

Image
  Lasers have been hailed as one of the great inventions of the twentieth century, following nuclear power, computers, and semiconductors, and have brought about a great technological breakthrough for mankind. The laser radiation produced by lasers is famous for being the "fastest blade", the "most accurate ruler" and the "brightest light". Nowadays, laser technology plays an important role in many fields such as medicine, the military industry, communications, and so on.   The birth of the laser is the result of the tireless efforts and arduous exploration of many scientists.   In 1917, Albert Einstein proposed the concept of "stimulated radiation", which laid the cornerstone for the theoretical foundation of lasers.   Although the theory of lasers had already been proposed at that time, the actual preparation of lasers was quite challenging. By the 1950s, with the progress of photon and microwave technology, the manufacture of an oscillator cap...

Automated laser welding improves MDM yields

Image
Hiring and training skilled personnel is not only costly, but in today's labor market, it is becoming increasingly difficult for companies to find and retain this talent. Automated laser welding systems dramatically reduce the need for skilled personnel. For example, once an engineer or technician has specified and stored all aspects of a welding application using the machine software, the operator can safely initiate the welding process with limited access to functions through the GUI.   Avoiding subjective judgment on the operator's part, combined with the use of in-situ vision, process monitoring, laser monitoring, and post-process validation features, provides consistent production, increased yields, and reduced scrap. Whenever there is any deviation from the specified limits in the process, the machine makes the necessary adjustments or stops the process and alerts the operator. This is clearly a benefit for any application. It would be especially beneficial when welding p...
