03 Handheld laser welding replaces traditional electric welding
In recent years, the hand-held laser welding machine, which has gradually emerged, is highly sought after by the market. It has quickly entered into various industries such as hardware tools, door and window guards, stainless steel kitchenware, sanitary ware, furniture, household appliances, advertising, handicrafts, and has successfully replaced some traditional welding markets. The biggest advantage of handheld laser welding is that it can get rid of the bondage of the previous laser equipment workbench, achieve the same flexibility as electric arc welding, and the welding equipment can be moved, realizing the possibility of on-site processing anywhere. The application of hand-held laser welding is most concentrated in the range of 1000W to 2000W, from the initial thousands to tens of thousands of units a year later; The price has also dropped from nearly 100000 yuan at the beginning to as low as 20000 yuan now. The sharp reduction of equipment cost has stimulated the purchase demand of users, and the annual consumption is likely to be more than 100000 sets in the future. Handheld laser welding is easy to operate and very fast, more than 5 times faster than resistance spot welding, with low maintenance cost and no need for welding materials. After laser welding the workpiece, the weld seam is smooth and clean, and generally does not need to be polished again.
04 Training on safe operation of laser welding
Welding is a process realized by high temperature. Generally, welders and operators need welder certificates or relevant qualification certificates. Strengthen personnel safety training and standardize production operation, so as to reduce accidents and prevent accidents before they happen.
At present, there is no clear regulation on the operation qualification of laser welding in China. Only on-site learning and practice can be arranged, and the operator can take the post. Handheld laser welding is even simpler. It is claimed that it can take only 2 hours of training. For the sake of production safety, it is still hoped that there will be uniform specifications for laser welding in the industry in the future. Especially for laser welding operators, laser welding qualification assessment can be considered to ensure higher safety laser welding.
