Advantages:
1. Simple and easy to learn, no professional welding master is needed, ordinary workers can be used proficiently after short-term training. Long-term use can greatly save processing costs, and the electro-optical conversion efficiency is high, and the energy consumption is low.
2. Small footprint, convenient and flexible; the integrated cabinet integrates the laser source, chiller, software control, etc., and the handheld welding head is equipped with 10 meters of optical fiber, which is flexible and convenient.
3. Welding is formed at one time, basically without deformation, can weld various complex welded workpieces and large workpieces with irregular shapes, and realize welding at any angle.
4. The welding area has little heat influence, is not easy to deform, does not blacken, the welding depth is large, the welding seam is beautiful, there is no welding scar, no grinding, and the welding is firm, and the welding seam strength reaches or exceeds the base material itself.
5. The touch switch is equipped with a safety clip, and the laser beam can only be emitted when the welding nozzle touches the metal.
6. Red light positioning is used to verify the position during welding.
Comparison of handheld laser welding and argon arc welding:
1. Energy consumption comparison: Compared with traditional arc welding, hand-held laser welding machine saves about 80%~90% of electric energy, and the processing cost can be reduced by about 30%.
2. Welding effect comparison: laser hand-held welding can complete dissimilar steel and dissimilar metal welding. The speed is fast, the deformation is small, and the heat affected zone is small. The weld seam is beautiful, smooth, no/less porosity, and no pollution. The hand-held laser welding machine can perform micro-small parts and precision welding.
3. Comparison of follow-up processes:
When laser hand-held welding, the heat input is low, the deformation of the workpiece is small, and the beautiful welding surface can be obtained without or only simple treatment (depending on the requirements of the welding surface effect). The handheld laser welding machine can greatly reduce the labor cost of the huge polishing and leveling process.
