Definition
Fiber laser welding machines are advanced tools designed for joining metal components using a focused beam of laser light. This technology is an evolution from traditional welding methods like MIG and TIG, offering several advantages in precision, efficiency, and versatility. According to cooling methods, fiber laser welding machine can be classified as water cooled laser welding machine (picture 1) and air cooled laser welding machine(picture 2);
According to machine power, laser welding machine can be classified as 1500W laser welding machine(picture 3), 2000W laser welding machine(picture 4), 3000W laser welding machine(picture 5) and other power ;
according to machine function, there are lithium Battery Welding Machine, metal laser cutting machine, laser rust cleaning machine, because except welding function,laser welding machines can also be use for metal cutting, rusting cleaning, seam cleaning and battery welding; other names for laser welding equipment such as 3 in 1 laser welding machine, 4 in 1 fiber laser welding machine(picture 6) and 5 in 1 handheld metal laser welding machine(picture 7),
Working Principle
Fiber laser welding operates by converting light into thermal energy through optical fibers doped with rare earth metals such as ytterbium. The intense laser beam produced can reach temperatures up to 3000 °C (5432 °F), allowing it to melt and fuse metals effectively. The focused nature of the beam minimizes thermal distortion and reduces spatter, resulting in cleaner welds compared to conventional methods.
Key Features
Precision and Control: The ability to focus on small areas (as tiny as 0.2 mm) allows for intricate welding tasks with minimal heat affected zones, which is crucial for high-precision applications.
Versatility: Fiber laser welding machines can handle various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and even dissimilar metals. They support multiple welding techniques such as joint, corner, and seam welding. It can also be used for metal laser cutting machine and laser rust removal machine.
Speed and Efficiency: These machines can achieve high welding speeds (up to 50 cm/s) and deep penetration welds, making them suitable for both thin and thick materials.
Intelligent control system:The laser welding system for mini laser welding machine is using SUP 23T and Relfar single / double pendulums system which are very safe and easy to operate, it with 33 molds of process and 25 language optional, and fault alarm for protection. (picture 8)
Applications
Fiber laser welding is widely used in various industries due to its adaptability:
Automotive: For structural components and battery tabs.
Electronics: In manufacturing parts like LCD backplates.
Aerospace: For lightweight yet strong components.
Medical Devices: Where precision is paramount.
Equipment cleaning:mold oil removing, surface rust painting removing.
Advantages
Low Maintenance: As non-contact tools, fiber lasers require less upkeep than traditional welding machines.
Compact Design: They occupy less space compared to older technologies, making them easier to integrate into existing workflows.
Environmental Benefits: The process is cleaner, adhering to strict environmental regulations due to reduced emissions and waste.
In summary, fiber laser welding machines represent a significant advancement in welding technology, combining speed, precision, and versatility to meet the demands of modern manufacturing processes.Lastly, The scotle company, a laser welding machine manufacturer provide different types of mini portable handheld fiber laser welding machines.
