Laser welding machine is a high-precision and high-efficiency welding equipment with many advantages, but it also has some disadvantages.
Advantages of laser welding machines include:
High speed and deep penetration welding. Laser welding machines can achieve fast and deep welding, while the weld seam is narrow, the possibility of deformation is small, and the need for post-processing is minimal.
Non-contact welding. This method of welding is relatively safe as long as you do not come into direct contact with the laser beam with your hands.
Applicable to a wide range of materials. It can weld a variety of metal materials, including some materials with special properties and non-metallic materials such as organic glass, ceramics, etc.
Flexibility. It is suitable for workpieces of different shapes and angles, and can weld hard-to-reach parts.
The welding quality is high. The heat affected zone is small, the welds are beautiful, and the quality is stable.
Automated production can be realized. Suitable for large-scale automated production, especially for assembly welding of micro and small workpieces.
Environmentally friendly. Energy consumption is relatively low and pollutants are produced.
Disadvantages of laser welding machines include:
Equipment costs are high. The manufacturing cost of laser welding machines is high, resulting in expensive selling prices.
It is difficult to operate and maintain. Requires specialized knowledge and skills, and requires regular maintenance and upkeep.
The focused spot size is limited. Accurate positioning is required during operation, otherwise welding defects may occur.
Steam and pores may develop. During high-speed welding, if the steam cannot be discharged from the weld in time, problems such as pores may be formed.
The scope of application is limited. Welding may not be effective for some special materials and specific occasions.
In general, laser welding machine is an advanced welding technology. Although it is costly and difficult to maintain, its high speed, high precision and wide
applicability make it widely used in enterprise production and processing.
