Comparison and difference between fiber laser welding machine and MIG & MAG welding

1. Google Trends (Development trend of hand-held laser welding machine):

The pure hand-held laser welding machine is a hand-held welding joint, optical fiber connected to the hand-held welding joint, and realizes various welding products. The advantage of the hand-held laser welding machine is that it can weld the products with larger size and longer welding length, such as water tank and stainless steel kitchen cabinet without putting these products on the worktable. In addition, to repair large mold, large-scale machinery can also achieve long-distance welding, do not take down the product can be welded. It has the advantages of simple operation, beautiful welding seam, fast welding speed, and no consumables.

3. Comparison between a handheld laser welding machine and MIG & MAG welding

It can perfectly replace the traditional argon arc welding Metal Inert Gas (MIG) and Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding

MIG & MAG are gas metal arc welding (GMAW) processes that use heat created from a DC electric arc between a consumable metal electrode and a workpiece that melts together to create a weld pool that fuses to form a join.

4. Hand-held laser welding machine can carry out long-distance, large parts of the laser welding, welding heat affected area is small, will not cause workpiece deformation, blackening, backtrace problems, and welding, Deep welding, solid welding, full melting. The convex part of the solution pool and the matrix joint have no depression phenomenon!

5. Speed Advantage

Hand-held laser welding machine’s speed Fast welding speed, 30 times faster than traditional welding （MIG & MAG welding）, a machine can save at least 2 welders a year

Hand-held laser welding machines can be widely used in kitchen and bathroom, elevator, shelves, ovens, stainless steel doors and windows guardrail, distribution box, stainless steel home, and other industries complex irregular welding procedures.

6. Fiber lasers welding are more gas efficient and easier to operate than MIG & MAG, and it can take as little as 15 minutes to train a new employee.

7. In contrast to the overall consumables, the current main consumables for fiber laser welding are the amount of electricity and the shielding gas and wire-like which are less than the MIG & MAG.

8. Optical fiber welding for different materials, in the general time of welding, you can blow air to save carbon dioxide gas.

9. Relatively speaking, the current price of optical fiber laser welding machines has also reached a very low price, compared with staff savings, staff operation speed, the overall creation of higher efficiency, this is its current market choice when the most important competitive advantage.

10. Compared with MIG & MAG welding, the weld bead of fiber laser welding is smoother and smoother, and the following grinding procedure is omitted.
