Laser welding application becomes very heated with fast growing rate
Back to 7 to 8 years ago, quite a few industrial experts believed that laser welding was a crucial growing point. With the development of high-end manufacturing, laser welding and precision welding are gradually used in different industries, including smart phones, computers, tablets, portable earphones, hardware, construction used metals and so on. And in the recent 3 years in particular, laser welding becomes quite heated because of increasing need of power battery used in electric vehicles.
The wide application of laser cutting is the result of mature laser technology and increasing power and laser cutting is gradually replacing traditional processing methods like punch press, water jet and so on. It is a common and preliminary processing. Laser welding, however, is the result of new application of the laser technology. This often comes with upgrading and more complicated, customized technique with higher added value. With this trend, the market value of laser welding will overwhelm the one of laser cutting in the coming future.
Handheld laser welding machine becomes a poplar welding device in the laser welding market
A new application and the diversity of the application will provide unpredictable potential for laser welding. How big is the laser welding market? For the time being, domestic laser welding market is thriving in all aspects. And there is one aspect that needs to mention -- the compact handheld laser welding machine becomes a popular welding device in the laser welding market.
Handheld laser processing originally used for laser marking,then laser cleaning and now laser welding. Handheld laser welding machine is a portable high precision & flexible welding device and is easy to weld parts of different shapes and sizes. Since it features low cost, ease of use, compact size, low maintenance, handheld laser welding machine can meet the different needs of different companies. Nowadays, it is widely used in bathroom industry, hardware industry, construction industry, electronic industry and so on.
Handheld laser welding machine is characterized by fast welding speed, which is 2-10 times faster than traditional laser welding machine. Therefore, the human labor can be reduced to a great extent. In addition, the finished weld is quite smooth and stable with no need of further polishing, which greatly reduces the cost and time. For metal plate, angle iron and stainless steel which has below 3mm width, handheld laser welding machine has particularly excellent welding performance.
Traditional laser welding machine comes with mechanical arms, fixtures and automatic control. This whole set often costs more than 1 million RMB, which makes quite many laser users hesitate. But now handheld laser welding machine only costs about one hundred thousand RMB, which is quite affordable for most of the users.
With handheld laser welding machine becomes more and more heated, many domestic manufacturers begin to invest in this technology, making the market become quite competitive.
S&A Teyu developed RMFL series rack mount chillers to meet the need of handheld laser welding machine
Currently domestic handheld laser welding machine is generally between 200W and 2000W and often comes with a fiber laser. As we know, fiber laser will generate heat during operation, so it needs to be equipped with laser chiller unit to take away the heat. The stability of laser chiller unit affects the normal operation of the handheld laser welding machine.
For the time being, S&A Teyu has the highest sales volume of industrial recirculating water chiller in domestic laser market. To meet the increasing demand of handheld laser welding machine, S&A Teyu developed the RMFL series rack mount water chillers RMFL-1000 and RMFL-2000 which is able to cool 1000W-2000W handheld laser welding machines.
