What are the main differences between handheld laser welding machines and automatic laser welding machines?

A laser welding machine, also known as a laser welding machine and laser welding equipment, is a machine used for processing laser materials. Laser welding involves using high-energy laser pulses to locally heat the material in a small area. The energy of the laser radiation spreads into the material through heat conduction, melting the material and forming a specific molten pool. 

Laser welding is a new type of welding method, mainly used for welding thin-walled materials and precision parts. It can achieve spot welding, butt welding, lap welding, sealing welding, etc. It has a high aspect ratio, a small welding width, a small heat affected zone, low deformation, fast welding speed, smooth and aesthetically pleasing welding, no need for post-welding treatment or simple treatment after welding, high welding quality, no pores, controllable focus, high positioning accuracy, and is easy to achieve automation. 

So, what are the differences between a handheld laser welding machine and an automatic laser welding machine? 

Analysis of the Differences between Handheld Laser Welding Machines and Automatic Laser Welding Machines: 

When users purchase laser welding equipment, they can customize the production of the laser manufacturer according to their product requirements. Of course, there are also some standard production modes. During this process, in order to meet the welding requirements of the products, they can choose to use (handheld laser welding machine) manual laser spot welding machine or automatic laser welding machine.

As its name suggests, the manual laser welding machine is a welding equipment that requires manual operation. This welding equipment can weld large workpieces over a long distance. During the welding process, the heat affected area is small, and it will not cause the workpiece to deform, turn black, or have marks on the back. In addition, the welding depth is large, the welding is firm, the dissolution is thorough, and there is no depression at the junction where the molten pool material protrudes and combines with the base material. 

An automatic laser welding machine is an automatic welding equipment that uses high-energy laser pulses to locally heat a small area of material. The energy of the laser radiation spreads into the material through heat conduction, melting the material to form a specific molten pool. It can perform spot welding, butt welding, lap welding, sealing welding, etc. It is mainly used for welding thin-walled materials and precision parts. It has the characteristics of small weld width, fast welding speed, high weld quality, no holes, accurate control, high positioning accuracy, and easy automation. 

The differences between handheld laser welding machines and automatic laser welding machines. 

After setting up the automatic laser welding machine in the software, it will automatically perform the welding according to the preset program; the manual laser welding machine, also known as spot welding, is the visual spot welding projected onto the screen by magnifying the manual operation. 

Compared with the deployment of automatic setting equipment, handheld laser welding machines have more advantages for workshops that engage in sporadic or non-large-scale welding operations. They do not require the setup and debugging of automatic laser welding platforms or the requirements for a certain space environment. What's important is that the welding products in small workshops are diverse and their shapes are not stable. Therefore, manual laser welding can meet the needs of such production and has better adaptability.
