Running cost of handheld fiber laser welding machine

Nowadays handheld fiber laser welding machines are becoming more and more popular. Laser welding offers travel speeds that can be five to ten times faster than TIG welding and three to five times faster than MIG welding in some applications. It’s a good alternative to resistance spot welding in many applications. The main power includes 1kw, 1.5kw and 2kw. In this article XTLASER will share the running cost of fiber laser welder with you.

Running cost of handheld fiber laser welder

The running cost of handheld fiber laser welding machine mainly includes 3 parts: power consumption, quick wear parts and auxiliary gas.

1. Power comsumption

In fact, we usually use 50%-60% power to weld the metals.
1kw total power consumption is 7.5kw. The real power consumption is only 3.8-4.5kw/h.
1.5kw total power consumption is 8.5kw. The real power consumption is only 4.3-5.1kw/h.
2kw total power consumption is 10kw. The real power consumption is only 5-6kw/h.

2. Quick wear parts

Quick wear parts for handheld fiber laser welder are only protective lens and copper nozzle.
Protective lens: lifetime is 240 hours, about 40-50pcs per year
Copper nozzle: lifetime is 360 hours, about 20-25pcs per year
Better environment, better operation, longer using time.

3. Auxiliary gas

The gas mainly plays a protection role, its consumption is very small. Nitrogen (N2) or Argon both are OK. But for materials easy to be oxidized, Argon is better. The gas can isolate the air from the welding plate to prevent reaction with the air. So the welding surface of the metal plate will be white and beautiful. The gas also can protect the lens from welding dust.

Handheld fiber laser welding machine

Fiber laser welding uses a high energy density laser beam as a heat source for efficient precision welding. However, laser welding requires high precision for workpiece pre-machining. So the position of the beam on the workpiece cannot not deviate significantly. If the assembly accuracy or beam positioning accuracy of the workpiece does not meet the requirements, it is easy to cause welding defects. This limits the process capability of laser welding to a certain extent. Because the spot size is small and the weld is narrow after laser focusing.
In response to the limitations of the above laser welding technology, the market has gradually introduced a laser welding method with double wedge laser vibration.  There’s a special wobble vibration module on the welding head. The application of wobble welding technology can make laser welding more widely used. And it can achieve high-efficiency laser precision welding for larger or wider welds workpieces.

Laser Welding Technology

In conventional laser vibration welding, the collimated beam is vibrated by a uniaxial galvanometer. And the spot focused by the focusing mirror is moved with the welding head to move relative to the workpiece. Thus forms a weld having a certain amplitude, frequency and offset.
Compared to the first two vibration welding modes, the double wedge mirror rotational vibration welding produces a spiral weld seam by the vibration module mounted between the collimating mirror and the focusing mirror, so that the focusing spot moves while the welding head moves. When the focal length is the same, the larger the torsion angle, the larger the vibration amplitude. When the torsion angle is the same, the larger the focal length, the larger the vibration amplitude. Therefore, double wedge vibration welding allows the weld joint to be wider while achieving better weld formability.

Save more cost by fiber laser cutting machine

Save more cost by fiber laser cutting machine.

Comparison of energy consumption between fiber laser and CO2 laser.

Fiber lasers have short-wavelength characteristics that increase the absorption of the beam by the cutting material.

And can cut materials such as brass and copper as well as non-conductive materials.

A more concentrated beam produces a smaller focus and a deeper depth of focus, so that fiber lasers can quickly cut thinner materials and cut medium-thickness materials more efficiently.

The CO2 gas laser system requires regular maintenance,the mirrors require maintenance and calibration, and the resonant cavity requires regular maintenance.

The fiber laser cutting solution requires virtually no maintenance.

Comparing with CO2 cutting systems, fiber cutting solutions are more compact and have less impact on the ecological environment, so need less cooling and energy consumption is significantly lower.

The CO2 laser needs to be adjusted before using the light. The condition of the optical path will directly affect the cutting effect of the workpiece. Therefore,need to adjust and maintain the optical path manually regularly. The thermal lens effect of the YAG solid-state laser is obvious and needs frequent maintenance. The optical fiber transmission of the fiber laser is free of adjustment. It is maintenance-free, highly stable and easy to operate.

The photoelectric conversion rate of the fiber laser is more than 30%.

And the photoelectric conversion rate of the same power CO2 laser cutting machine is about 10% to 15%.

The photoelectric conversion rate of the solid laser is 3%.

The fiber laser consumes only 20-30% of the power of the same power CO2 laser, and the overall cost is lower.

By comparison, the fiber laser cutting machine works more efficiently under the same conditions, and the cutting effect is better, maintenance-free.

If you do not know which is suitable for you,we could help you.

Auxiliary gas of fiber laser cutting machine-Teresa

/in , , /by

Auxiliary gas of fiber laser cutting machine.

Auxiliary gas of fiber laser cutting machine.

When cut the fiber laser cutting machine, different cutting gases according to the material of the cutting plate. The choice of gas and pressure has a great impact on the quality of fiber laser cutting machines.

Effect of cutting gas and pressure on cutting quality

1) The cutting gas helps to dissipate heat and assist combustion.And blows off to obtain a better quality cut section.

2) When the pressure of the cutting gas is insufficient, the melting will occur during cutting, and the cutting speed cannot meet the production efficiency.

3) When the pressure of the cutting gas is too high, the influence on the cutting quality: the cutting surface is rough, and the slit is wide; at the same time, the cut section is partially melted, and a good cutting section cannot be formed.

The effect of cutting gas pressure on perforation.

1) When the gas pressure is too low, the laser does not easily penetrate the cut sheet, and the punching time increases, resulting in low productivity.

2) When the gas pressure is too high, the penetration point is melted to form a large melting point, which affects the quality of the cutting.

3) When laser drilling, generally, a higher gas pressure is to the punching of the thin plate member.

And a specific punching method for the punching of the thick plate member.

Tthereby eliminating the disadvantage of the low air pressure to protect the lens.

4) When the laser cutting machine cuts ordinary carbon steel, the thicker the material, the lower the pressure of the cutting gas. When cutting stainless steel, the cutting gas pressure increases relatively with the thickness of the material. In short, we need choose cutting gas and pressure during laser cutting according to the actual situation during cutting. In specific applications,Select different cutting parameters according to the specific conditions.

Hello everyone, this is martin from XT laser. Today I will talk about the laser cutting machine. We will talk about it from theory, thechonlogy, and key parameters. Next day we will introduce other parts from the parts, application, details.

Firstly, we introduce the theory.

The light is from laser source. And through the light path system. Letting focus into laser beam with high power density. And then the laser beam irradiate to the artifact surface. Let the artifact melt or gasify. At the same time, high pressure gas will blow away the vaporized metal. Finally, Follow the move of laser head, cut the material. At last, Achieve the purpose of cutting.

Secondly, we talk about the technology of laser cutting machine.

First, About vaporized cutting. During the cutting, let the surface of material become to boiling point quickly. And time is very quick. Avoid the heat conduction and melt. Let the material vaporize. Then using gas blow away vaporized materials.

Second, About fusion cutting.  Almost same as vaporized cutting. The machine melt. And using gas blow away the melt materials. Finally, achieve cutting.

Third, About oxidation melting cutting. The melt cutting usually use inert gas. If replaced with oxygen. At last, the materials will be ignited.

Forth, Controlled fracture cutting

Thirdly, we talk about the key parameters.

The laser cutting machine have two technology. One is pulse laser. So it is suitable for metal materials. Another is continuous laser. So it is suitable for non-metal materials. But the second one is the most important technology in laser industry.

Hello everyone. Martin from XT laser.

Glad to communicate the advantages of laser welding with you.

As the development of technology, welding technology become better and better.

Although the laser welding machine price is still higher than TIG, MIG, etc. But the welding effect is better than traditional wedling.

In this article, I want to talk about the advantages of laser welding.

The theory of welding, I believe most people know that. Using high temperature let the materials melt.

After the temperature becomes low. Then Materials solidify together. Finally, it achieves to combine.

Comparing to traditional welding, the advantages of laser welding are as below:

Firstly, one of the most advantages is saving time.

Conventional welding takes 1 hour. Using a laser welding machine just about 15minutes do the same work. So it is about saving of 86% time.

Secondly, It can secondary processes e.g. grinding.

Third, complex weld seam geometries. It can weld complex weld seam geometries. Because the laser head is easy to move. S

Fourth, consistent and perfect weld quality. Using laser welding, the surface looks more beautiful. Because the laser has strong power.

And can melt metal easily. It can make the weld very small. So it is better than traditional welding.

Fifth, low material distortion and twisting

Sixth, Flexible joint geometries.

 

At last, introduce our company. Our company built in 2004, and we have 16 years‘ experience in the laser industry.

So we could supply more professional laser welding machine.

Also, we have a laser cutting machine, laser marking machine, laser cleaning machine for the laser industry.

Take one minute to know fiber laser welding machine

In industrial manufacturing, laser equipments are popular in marking, cutting, welding and other fields. Fiber laser welding machine has become a major trend at present. This is because of the many advantages of fiber laser welding machine.

1. Advantages of fiber laser welding machine:

Firstly, good processing stability

The heat input can be reduced to the minimum required amount. The metallographic change range of the heat-affected zone is small. And the deformation caused by heat conduction is also the lowest.

Secondly, high processing efficiency

It can reduce the time required for welding thick plates and even save the use of filler metal.

Thirdly, less machine loss

There is no need to use electrodes, and there is no concern about electrode contamination or damage; non-contact welding process. This can make the wear and deformation of the equipment be minimized.

Fourthly, wide processing range

The workpiece can be placed in a closed space (under vacuum or internal gas environment under control). The laser beam will focus on a small area. It can weld small and closely spaced parts, can weld a wide range of materials, and can also join various heterogeneous materials. It is easy to automate high-speed welding and can also be controlled by digital or computer. When welding thin materials or thin-diameter wires, it is not as easy to have trouble like arc welding.

Fifthly, small processing conditions

It is can accurately align the weldment and not affected by the magnetic field. (arc welding and electron beam welding are easy to be affected by the magnetic field). It can weld two metals with different physical properties (such as different resistances). Don’t need vacuum or X-ray protection.

2. XTLASER handheld fiber laser welding machine:

 

Firstly, simple and easy to operate

Simple and easy operation, no deformation of the welding seam; stable laser output to ensure welding consistency; high power density after laser focusing; fast speed, large depth and small deformation; 360-degree micro-welding without dead angles.

Secondly, fast welding speed

It is more than twice that of solid YAG laser welding, and 3-5 times that of argon arc welding; it saves cost, is stable and worry-free.

Thirdly, beautiful welding process

Breaking through the limitations of the original workbench, it is suitable for all kinds of complex welding seams, and it is easy to weld any part of the workpiece at any angle. The humanized design and technology upgrade can produce beautiful welding seams.

Fourthly, swing welding head

The process that traditional magnetic head cannot complete, the swing welding head only needs to use 70% of the power, which can save the cost of the laser;
The swing welding method, the width of the welding point is adjustable, and the welding fault tolerance is strong, which makes up for the small shortcomings of the laser welding point, expands the tolerance range of the processed parts and the width of the welding seam. Thus obtains a better welding seam forming effect.

Fifthly, 360 degree micro welding

After the laser beam is focused, a small spot can be obtained, which can be accurately positioned and used for group welding of small and micro-sized workpieces to realize mass production. Mainly used for welding thin-walled materials and precision parts. It can realize spot welding, butt welding, stitch welding, sealing welding, etc. It has high aspect ratio, small weld width, small affected area, small deformation, fast welding speed. What’s more, do not need to process or simple handling after welding.

How Proper Maintenance Affects Laser Cutting Quality-Teresa

/in , , /by

How Proper Maintenance Affects Laser Cutting Quality

Lasers can produce some of the highest quality and most accurate cuts for fabrication. However, laser cutting can only be successful when fabricators consistently perform proper maintenance on their equipment. Without proper preventative maintenance, lasers will not perform optimally. Lack of preventative maintenance can lead to lower quality, imprecise cuts and an improperly functioning machine. Fortunately, as long as you perform regular maintenance, your laser will function optimally at all times. We’ve compiled a list of the top preventative maintenance steps you can take to keep your laser in optimal condition.

Keep Optics in Check

After performing any maintenance on the optics of your laser, you should make sure they are returned to OEM specifications. Out-of-spec optics can affect mode quality, beam quality, cutting performance, and optics life. Beam analyzers and beam profilers can address this issue. These tools are large camera-based systems that measure beam characteristics when the laser beam passes through. However, this equipment is very expensive.

Fortunately, fabricators can avoid the need for this expensive equipment by imprinting and attaching the original mode burn profiles on a piece of acrylic attached to each machine before it leaves the factory. This action allows fabricators to reference and check quickly for proper shape, size, power setting, and beam optic specifications. Advanced CNC machines are now programmed with step-by-step instructions both for performing maintenance checks and for simplifying optics checks. This is the benefit of utilizing the most modern technology. These instructions make it easy to keep your laser’s optics in check and ensure proper maintenance at all times.

Monitor Temperature

The chiller performance is important to the functionality of your laser, so it’s important to keep an eye on its temperature gauge at all times. Variations in operating temperature can affect the machine’s performance. Extreme temperature changes can even result in resonator damage, which will require a costly, time-consuming repair. All chillers have temperature sensors or temperature display to help fabricators monitor the temperature to prevent problems.

With newer control technology, fabricators can set the temperature to remain constant, eliminating the need for constant monitoring. However, even in this instance, fabricators will still need to monitor water levels in chiller units. Water can build up, especially when left idle for long periods of time, such as a long weekend. When water collects, it will build up conductivity. When the conductivity in the chiller unit is high, the machine’s self-diagnostic features will not allow the resonator to start until the level lowers. However, this operator can easily lower the chiller’s conductivity level by running the unit for a few minutes before cutting. Additionally, the operator should change the resin when necessary, which deionizes the water and helps lower conductivity.

Keep Equipment Clean

Keeping equipment clean is one of the most obvious maintenance steps to take. However, it is often the most neglectful. Especially processing areas, support slats, scrap drawers, slugs, and pallet ways. However, these areas can all contain a buildup of debris, dust, grease, and grime, which will affect the machine’s performance. A buildup on machine slats can affect slat support, causing the material to shift. This shifting can affect cut consistency, accuracy, and productivity.

Additionally, unclean processing areas, scrap drawers, dust collectors, and ducting can create a thermite hazard. Thermite is a mixture of aluminum and the oxide of another metal, typically mild steel that occurs in fabricating environments. When thermite is ignited, high temperatures can be produced that will cause significant damage to equipment. Fortunately, with regular cleaning of all parts of the laser, you can avoid these issues easily.
