What’s laser welding technology?
Laser welding is a technology using high-energy-density laser beam as the heat source to join metal materials together.
Advantages:
●High deepth-to-width ratio from 5:1 to 10:1, better weld seam quality.
●3-10 times faster than traditional ARC welding methods.
●Minimal heat affected zone, minimal deformation.
●Up to 70% less filler materials.
●High precision laser beam can join small parts.
●Automatic fish scale welding function to realize the best weld seam.
●Perfect seam quality, no need of pre and post-treatement.
●Easy to learn and operate, allow operators of all skill level to make great welding work.
●Non-contact welding.
●No current passes through the workpiece.
●Easily automated, incorporated into production lines.
●Intelligence built-in system validates highly intelligent operation of machine and welder.
●ARC welding wire is common to use.
How to Choose Between Laser Welding and Traditional Welding?
Traditional Welding Methods | Laser Welding | |
Heat Resource | Electricity | Laser Beam |

Distortion & Deformation | High | Very low |
Heat Affected Zone & Deforming | Large | Very small |
Operation Difficulty | High | Very low |
Training | Long time and large quantity of practice | Quick and easy |
Air Pollution | Heavy | Light |
Consumables | Electrode | No or little quantity of welding wire |
Material Flexibility | Limited with consumables changes | Wide range |
Post-processing on welding lines | Yes | No need of post-processing |
Wobble Welding | No | Yes |
