With the rapid development of science and technology, laser technology has gradually penetrated into all aspects of our daily life. Especially in the manufacturing industry, laser welding has become an important processing method. Today, the ring water chiller will focus on handheld laser welding, as well as its differences and advantages with the traditional welding.

First, the principle and characteristics of handheld laser welding

Handheld laser welding is a flexible and efficient laser welding technology. It uses a high-energy laser beam as a heat source, through the optical system to focus the laser beam on the metal surface, melting the metal through heat conduction to achieve welding. Handheld laser welding equipment usually consists of laser, optical system, power supply and control system, with small size, light weight, easy to operate and so on, can adapt to a variety of working environment.

Second, the difference between handheld laser welding and traditional welding

Energy source and transmission mode

Traditional welding mainly relies on the high temperature generated by the arc to melt the metal and realize the welding process. Handheld laser welding is the use of high-energy laser beam irradiation on the metal surface, melting metal through heat conduction to achieve welding. Therefore, handheld laser welding is characterized by high energy density, concentrated heating and fast welding speed.

Welding speed

The welding speed and efficiency of handheld laser welding is much higher than that of conventional welding. Due to the high energy density of the laser beam, the metal can be melted quickly to achieve the effect of deep melting welding, and at the same time, the heat-affected area is small, and the deformation of the workpiece is also small. This gives handheld laser welding a significant advantage in mass production.

Welding effect

Handheld laser welding can accomplish dissimilar steel and dissimilar metal welding. High speed, low distortion and small heat affected zone. Weld seam is beautiful, flat, no/fewer porosity, no pollution. Handheld laser welding machine can perform tiny open parts and precision welding. In contrast, the weld seam of traditional welding is easily affected by operating skills, environment and other factors, and is prone to defects such as porosity and slag entrapment.

Operating Difficulty

Handheld laser welding equipment is less dependent on the skill of the welder, and has the advantages of being quick to start and saving labor costs. In contrast, traditional welding requires a higher level of skill and experience, and is more difficult to operate. Therefore, handheld laser welding has a lower threshold in operation, suitable for a wide range of applications.

Third, the advantages of Huanli handheld laser welding machine

Huanli handheld laser welding machine adopts a highly integrated design concept, the laser, temperature control system, power supply and other core components are integrated into a device, the precision water-cooled temperature control system, which can stabilize the laser output for a long time, and can easily cope with a variety of harsh working conditions.
