Laser welding machines play an increasingly important role in modern manufacturing, and their advantages such as high precision, high efficiency and low cost have been widely recognized. However, for many people, whether laser welding machines can weld materials of different thicknesses is a common question. Jinduoli Technology will introduce in detail the working principle of laser welding machines and how thick they can weld , and explore how to choose a laser welding machine that suits your needs.


01 The working principle of laser welding machine


 

The working principle of laser welding machine


Yihailaser welding machine uses a high-density laser beam to irradiate the workpiece, causing the material on the workpiece surface to melt instantly and form a uniform alloy liquid pool, which is then solidified by cooling to achieve the purpose of welding. The laser source of the laser welding machine usually uses a fiber laser, which has high beam energy and stability.

For metal or plastic materials of different thicknesses, laser welding machines need to use different welding methods. Generally speaking, for thinner materials, traditional flat welding or staggered welding methods can be used; when welding thicker materials, multi-pass welding or deep processing welding and other technologies are required.

Laser welding thickness


The welding thickness capability of laser welding machine is affected by many factors, including laser power, beam diameter, welding speed, weld shape, etc. Generally speaking, the maximum thickness that laser welding machine can weld is about 10mm, but this value is not absolute, and it is also necessary to consider many factors such as material properties and welding form.

For some materials with high thermal conductivity, such as copper and aluminum, due to their fast heat conduction and heat dissipation, it is easy to cause the molten pool to be unstable, resulting in unsatisfactory welding effect. Therefore, it is necessary to use a higher power laser welding machine or a multi-pass welding method to ensure the welding quality of the material.

In addition, laser welding machines also have certain welding speed limitations. If the welding speed is too fast, the molten pool cannot be fully formed, cracks or pores may form, leading to welding failure; if the welding speed is too slow, the weld will be too wide or too deep, affecting the welding quality and efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate welding speed based on the specific material.

03 How to choose a suitable laser welding machine


Merchant reputation: Choosing laser welding equipment from well-known brands and regular merchants can provide better after-sales service, quality assurance and other support.

Welding materials: Different materials require laser welding machines of different powers, so you need to choose the appropriate equipment according to the characteristics of your welding materials. Yihai can customize the handheld laser welding machine that suits you according to your needs.

Welding form: Different welding forms have different requirements for laser power, welding speed and other parameters, and need to be selected according to actual needs.

Welding accuracy: If high-precision welding is required, a laser welding machine with higher resolution and stability needs to be selected.

Production environment: If the production environment is harsh or long-term continuous work is required, it is necessary to select equipment with good heat dissipation, wear resistance and other characteristics.


04 Future development of laser welding machine



 

The future of laser welding machines


With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry, laser welding machines, as a high-efficiency and high-precision processing equipment, will be increasingly valued. In the future, with the continuous advancement of laser technology and the expansion of application fields, the scope of use of laser welding machines will be more extensive, and the market prospects are very broad.

At the same time, laser welding machines still have some challenges and limitations in terms of welding material diversification, welding accuracy, welding speed, etc., and require continuous breakthroughs in technology research and development and innovation to meet the ever-increasing production needs.

In short, laser welding machine is a very promising processing equipment with broad application prospects, but it also requires laser welding machine manufacturers to continuously improve in laser equipment technology research and development, after-sales service, etc., in order to better serve the development of the manufacturing industry.
