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

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

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.

After you read these two links you will have a deeper understanding of fiber laser welding

Are it work with Aluminium welding sheets between 4 to 10 mm

Application in box structures and bridge industries: intelligent welding of internal weld seams of upper and lower chords, flat connection plates, beam joint plates, external main welds, and box diaphragms. The system can access spaces approximately 700 mm wide and up to 3 meters deep for intelligent welding operations. See MoreSee Less

The welding of the ship-type seam for bridge bottom plates in the eight-axis cantilever series products.

Refers to robotic welding systems equipped with 8 axes of motion, typically including 6 articulated joints on the robot arm plus 2 external axes (such as a positioner or linear rail).
The cantilever structure allows the welding arm to span large workpieces, making it suitable for welding large bridge components.

Bridge bottom plates

These are large structural steel plates used at the base of bridges, often as part of girders or trusses.
Welding requirements include high structural strength, consistent weld quality, and low deformation.

Ship-type seam

A type of welding seam that resembles the contour of ship hulls, often applied in thick plate welding with V-groove or U-groove bevels.
Characteristics: Long weld path, may lie on curved or inclined surfaces, and typically requires multi-pass welding.

Welding process challenges:

Requires robotic systems with precise path tracking and adaptability to irregular seam geometry.
Control system may include groove recognition, automated workpiece alignment, or laser seam tracking/vision systems.
Proper control of welding parameters is critical to minimize heat distortion and weld defects.

Compatible welding methods:

Common processes: GMAW/MIG welding or Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) for thicker plates.
With integrated laser vision systems, the robot can automatically detect and follow seam paths with real-time compensation.
Systems with automatic programming or teaching-free software simplify operation and increase efficiency.

Dont see what is interesting or new about this, robots have been welding these type parts for over 40 years and today most with Twin wire welding twice as fast as this robot.
