Today，Leapion will show you history of laser welding machine and how does it work.
Laser welding is a joining process for metals. Like all welding and joining processes, laser welding exerts heat at specific points.
In laser welding, two components are joined together. For this purpose, both sides of the abutting material are melted. The melt coalesces and forms the joint.
Laser beam welding has been in use for about 30 years. Until now, it has been used selectively and has always been in fierce competition with traditional welding methods. Due to modern, additive production methods such as 3D printing of metallic objects, laser welding is currently rapidly gaining importance.
The spiritual father of the laser is none other than Albert Einstein. About 100 years ago he published his first thoughts on the subject of light bundling. It took until 1928 for the first experiment to prove Einstein's theories. From there, however, it took another 32 years until the first laser beam could be generated with a ruby in 1960. The expensive ruby was replaced a short time later by gas, which made the production of laser devices much cheaper.
Welding by laser beam is basically very simple: Two precisely cut sheets are held together. The laser melts the edges of the sheet metal. The melt flows into each other - and the joint is complete.
Laser beam welding is a non-contact joining process. It is always carried out automatically. Modern laser beam welding systems are equipped with an integrated measuring system, which independently checks the dimensions of the manufactured component. This makes these systems particularly precise, which is the basis for guaranteeing constant quality.
The costs are still the biggest disadvantage of these innovative processes. It depends strongly on what and which material is to be processed with the laser welding system. Even simple micro systems used, for example, for engraving wedding rings can cost several thousand euros. Brand-new high-performance plants rarely cost less than 100,000 euros, rather more. These expenses are offset by excellent manufacturing quality and high productivity. In fact, laser welding is usually carried out at a much higher speed than conventional electric or inert gas welding processes.
