The advantages of fiber laser in thin plate welding

Currently, there are three types of lasers in the market: fiber, pulsed Nd: YAG, and CO2 laser sources. These three types of welding equipment have obtained sufficient development space and have been reused in high-power processing. But this is not the case for some applications, such as ultra-thin materials.

The welding of ultra-thin materials is an ultra-fine technical activity, which requires higher laser beams: energy concentration, small welding deformation and flexibility, otherwise there will be false welding or burn-through. And these advantages, fiber lasers have.

The focused spot of the fiber laser beam can be as small as 10 microns, which results in very small solder joints. And because it is a continuous wave laser cutting, it meets the high power density required for batch and continuous welding processes. In the aerospace field, where light weight requirements are high, fiber laser welding of lightweight materials has greater advantages and has become the focus of aviation research. As related projects and technologies mature, fiber lasers will become more and more widely used in welding.

Cooling requirements for fiber laser welding sheet

Don't look at the fine cnc machining of this fiber laser, in fact, it is not "pretentious" and well maintained. As long as it is properly operated and used, its life is very long. Among them, the selection of laser chiller is the key. First, the laser chiller must have sufficient cooling capacity, and then it must have stability. In addition, the water quality will also affect the laser (optionally equipped with an ion filter.)
