Those engaged in the processing and welding industries of power batteries, hardware sheet accessories, automobiles, and household appliance accessories all know that the use of laser welding machines for metal welding processing has become very common, and even 80% of traditional welding equipment has been replaced by lasers. So if we want to buy laser welding equipment, what technical performance or functions do we need to know? How to negotiate the price of laser welding machines on the market and whether we will be cheated? In fact, as long as we understand the following points, no matter what type of products the laser welding machine is used to weld, we can purchase satisfactory equipment.

1. Laser is the conversion of electrical energy into light energy, so the advantages of using laser welding technology are obvious. Among them, the most popular ones are its high welding efficiency, no need for secondary processing of the welding surface, strong solidity, no need for equipment maintenance, low processing cost, and finally the key is that it is easy to use and has a wide range of applications. There is an obvious trend to replace traditional welding machines now and in the future, so users do not need to worry about whether laser welding equipment can weld your products.

2. Another important factor when purchasing a laser welding machine is to clarify the type of product you are welding, how to weld, and how fast the welding speed needs to be. These will affect the price of the equipment you purchase, such as if you are welding battery caps, pole lugs, and power batteries. Connecting pieces, square battery sealing welding, explosion-proof valve welding, metal sheet welding, etc. These all require supporting devices, especially automated production lines, and their supporting systems need to be customized. It can be said that when you buy a welding machine, they are basically for customization, the technical engineers of the laser welding machine manufacturer need to design a plan for you as to what type you need.

3. The major components of today’s laser welding machines are basically the same, except that the manufacturers and brands of the accessories are different. The main components include: laser, visual positioning, CCD camera, cooler, welding head, galvanometer. If you want to automate welding, the automated production equipment is also a relatively expensive system. They account for the majority of the price of the equipment. Here, if your conditions permit, it is recommended that you directly purchase a pure fiber laser welding machine. Although the price is a bit higher, it is more cost-effective for long-term use, except of course for special purposes.

4. Maybe when you buy equipment, you will hear about the pulse width, frequency, beam quality, spot and so on of the laser. In fact, you don’t have to worry about these. Even if you don’t understand, you can just take your sample to the manufacturer for proofing directly. Is the equipment good? Well, the sample effect plays an important role in measuring. At the same time, you can consult the manufacturer for the power of the laser and which brand to use. It is impossible for general laser equipment manufacturers to produce lasers by themselves. Those who claim to produce lasers are mostly OEM or ODM products. Of course, its manufacturers need to receive after-sales technology and quality services. At present, the more famous domestic lasers in China include Raycus, Chuangxin, and other products. As technology competition becomes increasingly fierce, there are more and more laser manufacturers with high starting points. Understanding laser brands mainly allows users to better compare prices. Bargain and understand product brand positioning issues.

5. How much power is needed for the laser welding machine? Some manufacturers directly recommend buying higher power, but the price of high power will definitely be much more expensive. For example: your product itself only needs 500W, but the manufacturer recommends you 800W or 1000W, then the power in the middle will cost you more purchase funds. The key is it is because you did not give full play to the advantages of the equipment in production. If you leave it unused, it is really a waste of money. Therefore, you need to start welding the sample from low power. Generally, the manufacturer will set the power range for you, and it can only be determined after testing the sample. There are also some comparisons. Experienced manufacturers can determine power requirements through product materials and understanding of processes.

6. Now in order to facilitate users’ welding and reduce users’ purchase budget, the handheld laser welding machine developed and produced by SHINHOP laser welding machine manufacturer is particularly suitable for the needs of users in the hardware industry, such as: metal sheets, generally stainless steel below 2.5MM can be welded. Because its welding power is generally 1000W, higher power requires fixed welding equipment. Although handheld laser welding machines are more convenient to use, their biggest weakness is that the power cannot be too high. Normally 1000W is the upper limit, and others are 800W. , 500W three categories.

Okay, through the above description, let me summarize it for everyone. When purchasing a laser welding machine, you need to clarify the material characteristics of your product, including material type, thickness, shape, process requirements, etc., and understand the equipment laser brand. , power, welding speed, how the welding device is designed and operated, after-sales warranty method and scope, payment method, and a more important thing is welding proofing. To proof, proofing is necessary. Again, don’t forget, without proofing, everything is empty talk.

If you are dissatisfied with the welding of your product, then take your sample to SHINHOP Laser Welding Machine Manufacturer for proofing and challenge our equipment, and let your product follow suit.
