IGOLDENLASER offer laser power options of 1000W, 1500W, 2000W, 3000W. With different configurations, these fiber laser machines complete jobs quickly with high-level precision.

I. Make sure if the laser welding method is suitable for your products. You need to make sure that your products can be welded by a laser welder. Nowadays, most laser welding equipment manufacturers provide free sampling services. So be sure to let the supplier make samples to confirm if the laser welding equipment can meet your requirements. II. Consider what types of laser welders you should choose. There are mainly two types of laser welding machines, automatic and manual. In the automatic process, four-axis linkage automatic laser welding machine, fiber automatic laser welding machine, optical fiber galvanometer laser welding machine have been made according to different process requirements. In manual mode, laser welding machines for molds, laser jewelry spot welding machines, special laser welding machines for advertising characters, etc. are made according to different processing requirements. III. Choose the suitable configuration. After determining the machine type, you need to select appropriate specifications for the machine according to your processing requirements. For example, choose a suitable working table size, laser power, cooling system, etc. IV. Find a good laser welding machine manufacturer. As we mentioned before, good manufacturers intend to provide good-quality machines. Besides, they often use famous spare and accessory parts. This also helps ensure the good quality of the products. A good laser welding machine supplier also provides complete and timely after-sales services. Always remember your budget. Buying from a foreign supplier may cause extra costs to the laser welding machine cost. For example, shipping fees, taxes, etc. While buying a domestic brand may be convenient for after-sales service and cost less. So you need to buy the most suitable machine within your budget.

A good rule of thumb is that entry level portable handheld laser welders will sell for a price range from $5,800.00 to $10,500.00 with fiber laser powers of 1000W, 1500W, 2000W, and 3000W.

The best budget automated CNC laser welding systems cost from $18,800.00 to $25,800.00 with fiber laser powers of 1000W, 1500W, 2000W, and 3000W.

The affordable automatic robotic laser beam welding machines will be priced from $48,000.00 to $58,000.00 with fiber laser powers of 1000W, 1500W, 2000W, and 3000W.

The cheapest 3-in-1 laser welding, cleaning, cutting machine costs from $5,400.00 to $13,800.00 with fiber laser powers of 1000W, 1500W, 2000W, and 3000W.

The average cost for laser beam welding machines is about $7,800.00 for handheld types and $52,800.00 for robot types in 2023.

However, costs vary widely depending on the welder's configurations & features.

Laser welding

laser welding function of 3 in 1 laser welder Laser welding is one of the primary functions of the 3-in-1 handheld laser welder machine. With this function, you can weld various materials, such as carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel with speed and accuracy. The advantages of laser welding include fast welding speed, small weld seam, and minimal deformation. This function is ideal for repairing metal products, creating jewelry, and welding electronic components.

Laser cleaning of rust

laser cleaning function of 3 in 1 laser welder The laser cleaning function of the 3-in-1 handheld Laser welding machine is designed to remove rust and contaminants from metal surfaces quickly and efficiently. The advantages of laser cleaning include fast cleaning speed, thorough cleaning, and no damage to the surface. This function is ideal for maintenance and repair tasks, such as removing rust from metal products, cleaning molds, and restoring surfaces.

Laser cutting of thin sheets

laser cutting function of 3 in 1 laser welder The cutting feature of the 3 in 1 laser welder has some limitations. It requires both hands to hold and can only cut in straight lines without the ability to cut curves or patterns, making it unsuitable for high-volume cutting work.

However, the machine compensates for this limitation by allowing users to pre-save cutting parameters and welding functions, streamlining the process and preventing the need for repeated input.

The handheld laser welding machine is a new generation of laser welding equipment, which belongs to non-contact welding. Compared with traditional welding, laser welding has a higher energy density. So it can achieve better welding results. However, in daily life, we can not ignore the maintenance of the machine. Comprehensive maintenance work can make it last longer. Next, let's learn about the maintenance of hand-held laser welding machines.

Regular inspection

Operators should regularly check the following aspects:

1. Check whether the cooling fan rotates smoothly when the power is turned on;

2. Check for gas leakage;

3. Check whether there is looseness or peeling between the welding wire connector and the insulation;

4. Check whether the welding cable and each wiring part have abnormal heating.

Internal dust cleaning

Since the hand-held laser welding machine is air-cooled, it is easy to suck the surrounding dust into the body. The operator should regularly use compressed air to blow off the dust inside the welding machine. Especially in transformers of equipment, gaps between coils, power semiconductors, etc.

Parts Repair or Replacement

Long-term use will deform the shell of the machine due to collisions, and the internal parts will also wear out. Therefore, during regular inspections, the operator should replace defective parts in time. The shell and damaged insulation parts should be comprehensively repaired. If there is rust, the operator should make the welding machine conduct electricity well by removing the rust. These measures can ensure better performance of the laser welding machine.

Conclusion

To sum up, for laser welding machines, regular maintenance, and inspection are essential. Doing so reduces the occurrence of welding accidents and ensures the safety of the operator. And it also increases the life of the handheld laser welding machine.In particular, the operator of the machine must receive professional training and familiar with basic equipment knowledge.
