Analysis Of The Advantages And Price Factors Of Hand-held Laser Welding Machine

In recent years, hand-held laser welding machines have become more and more popular and are a new type of welding method. So what are the advantages of hand-held laser welding?

First of all, it must make up for the shortcomings of traditional welding! Such as welding defects such as undercut, incomplete penetration, and large loss during the welding process, the weld seam of laser welding is perfectly smooth, even without secondary grinding, which saves a lot of costs!

Moreover, the hand-held laser welding machine is recognized as less consumables, long life, strong flexibility, high safety, and can be used in various links.

1. Set the parameters and get started immediately. Even a girl who doesn’t know anything can be stress-free after simple training. A handheld laser welding machine can save at least 2-4 professional welding workers.

2. The copper nozzle can be replaced at will, whether it is spot welding, inner and outer fillet welding, arc welding, butt welding, lap welding, stitch welding, riveting welding, crimp welding, T-welding, lap welding, tailor welding, etc., Only you can't think of it, you can't weld without it!

3. The welding efficiency is increased by 2-10 times, the process is more perfect, the welding effect is stable, and there will be no problems such as pores, welding penetration, and workpiece deformation. Save polishing time and reduce consumables.

4. Mainly used for welding stainless steel, aluminum plate, alloy steel, iron, aluminum alloy, copper, gold and silver, and other metal materials.

Price Analysis

Now there are many brands of hand laser welding machines on the market, and new products are constantly appearing. The price difference is huge. I dare not buy the cheap ones, and the expensive ones are not worth the price.

So what are the factors that cause the price of handheld laser welding machines to vary so much? How should we choose a cost-effective handheld laser welding machine?

To put it simply, the main factors affecting the price are the laser power and some hardware configurations.

Hardware Configuration

The hand-held laser welding machine is mainly composed of laser, welding head, chiller, cabinet, wire feeder, etc. The brand of configuration and whether the wire feeder is included affect the overall price.

Laser

Different laser power is the main basis for pricing. At present, the laser power of hand-held welding machines on the market is generally 1000W, 1500W and 2000W. There is no doubt that the higher the power, the higher the price. We can choose different powers according to the needs of our products.

Laser is one of the core accessories. At present, the brands of lasers are as follows: Raycus, IPG, Maxphotonics, JPT, etc. Lasers with high reputation of big brands are definitely important guarantees, which is one of the important reasons for the basis of price judgment. So when choosing a machine, be sure to understand the brand quality of the laser!

Consumables cost

So what is the internal configuration of the welding head and the quality and loss cost of the matching copper nozzle?

A protective lens will be placed in the hand-held welding head, which is relatively easy to wear. Generally speaking, pay attention to the method when using it, try to avoid metal debris from entering, break the lens, and change the lens every 3 months.

The same soldered copper nozzle is also a lossy accessory. Pay attention to the correct use of the copper nozzle, and the copper nozzle needs to be replaced in a few months.

Wire Feeder

In fact, some low-priced handheld laser welding machines are not equipped with wire feeders, and the excellent wire feeding welding ability can concentrate energy, effectively prevent welding cracks, and improve welding efficiency.

A good wire feeder can achieve strong and powerful wire feeding without jamming and ensure the quality of welding spots. When choosing a handheld laser welding machine, be sure to pay attention to whether it is equipped with a matching wire feeding device!

Powerful company

If you don't want to bother to understand various configurations, you can choose a laser equipment company with certain strength. It is necessary to find the source factory for production, and there must be a large-scale factory with a quality management system. The products produced by such a company are guaranteed.

Unlike traders and small workshops with few people, such a company is guaranteed both in configuration and service, and we don't need to be "feared".

After-sales service 

We choose a strong company also depends on the after-sales ability. It is necessary to choose a factory with after-sales service, so that the problem can be solved in time.

The market for hand-held laser welding machines has just begun. As a rookie with infinite possibilities, there are endless products on the market. Don't try to be cheap. Buy a machine that will break every three days. The sale is not guaranteed, which will seriously affect production. Progress is worth the loss. To choose us, we must choose the most cost-effective, not the most expensive, but the best!
