    Laser welding machines and laser welding technology is becoming very popular with the advent of the latest laser generation technologies. In short, laser welding is the process of joining metallic bodies or thermoplastics using a laser beam.


    However, unlike the other conventional welding processes, laser welding can complete the job in much lesser time. This is possible due to the fact that laser welding machines can achieve high-purity welds in a shorter time with little or no distortion.


Categorization is based on the type of laser


1.Pulsed Laser

    The pulsed laser mechanism is ideal for metals that are light in nature and have low thickness. Thus, the pulsed laser makes intermittent exposure on the metallic body. Keeping it safe from burning or melting.

Furthermore, this type of laser welding is ideal for welding sheets of metal, razors, jewelry, and even medical prosthetics like screws.


2.The continuous laser

    The continuous laser is ideal for welding on parts that have a high thickness and are strong.  Moreover, this welding technology is good for refractory surface metals too.

This type of welding is costlier than the pulsed type welding but in the long run, saves a lot of money and labor for you.

Categorization based on the source of laser


    Currently, there are three main types of sources of laser for laser welding machines that use one of these laser sources i.e. Fiber laser, CO2 laser, and Nd: YAG laser. Each of these laser sources has their own benefits and are suitable for the different types of welding materials.


1.Fiber Laser Welding Machine

    The fiber laser welding machine is ideal for working on metallic parts. Furthermore, it offers great reliability and efficiency. According to estimates, the accuracy of the laser welding machine using fiber laser is close to 25%.


2.CO2 Laser Welders

    The CO2 laser welders can provide a great continuous welding beam that creates efficient and durable welds. It can easily penetrate metals and non-metallic bodies.


3.Nd: YAG Laser welders

    The Nd: YAG lasers are less energy efficient as compare to the fiber laser welding machines. However, there are certain applications like greater laser control that you cannot achieve with other types of laser sources.
