Typical Applications of laser welding
Laser welding machines can increase the production capacity and improve the product quality when it comes to metal parts production. It’s widely used in all walks of life:
▶ Sanitary Ware Industry: Welding of pipe fittings, reducer fittings, tees, valves, and showers
▶ Eyewear industry: Precision welding of stainless steel, titanium alloy, and other materials for eyewear buckle and outer frame
▶ Hardware industry: impeller, kettle, handle welding, complex stamping parts, and casting parts.
▶ Automotive industry: engine cylinder pad, hydraulic tappet seal welding, spark plug welding, filter welding, etc.
▶ Medical industry: welding of medical instruments, stainless steel seals, and structural parts of medical instruments.
▶ Electronics industry: Seal and break welding of solid state relays, welding of connectors and connectors, welding of metal shells and structural components such as mobile phones and MP3 players. Motor enclosures and connectors, fiber optic connector joints welding.
▶ Household hardware, kitchenware, and bathroom, stainless steel door handles, electronic components, sensors, clocks, precision machinery, communications, crafts and other industries, automotive hydraulic tappets, and other industries with high-strength products.

What is a laser welding machine?
The laser welding machine is also commonly known as negative feedback laser welding machine, laser cold welding machine, laser argon welding machine, laser welding equipment, etc.
Laser welding uses high-energy laser pulses to locally heat a material over a small area. The energy of laser radiation is diffused into the material through heat conduction, and the material melts to form a specific molten pool. It is a new welding method, mainly used for thin wall materials and precision parts welding. It can achieve a high aspect ratio, small weld width, small heat affected zone spot welding, butt welding, seam welding, seal welding, and so on. Small deformation, fast welding speed, smooth and beautiful weld, no processing or simple processing after welding, high-quality weld, no pores, precise control, small focus, high positioning accuracy, easy to realize automation.
Which products are suitable for the use of a laser welding machine
Products with welding requirements:
Products requiring welds are welded with laser welding equipment, which not only has small welds width but also does not require solder.
Highly automated products:
In this case, the laser welding equipment can be manually programmed to weld and the path is automatic.
Products at room temperature or under special conditions:
It can stop welding at room temperature or under special conditions, and the laser welding equipment is easy to install. For example, when a laser passes through an electromagnetic field, the beam does not skew. The laser can weld in a vacuum, air, and certain gaseous environments, and can pass through glass or material that is transparent to the beam to stop welding.
Some difficult-to-access parts require laser welding equipment:
It can weld hard-to-reach parts, and achieve non-contact remote welding, with high sensitivity. Especially in recent years, under the condition of YAG laser and fiber laser technology is very mature, laser welding technology has been more widely promoted and applied.
