Air-cooled welding machine and water-cooled welding machine！

Due to the different cooling methods, laser welding machines can be air-cooled welding machines or water-cooled welding machines. Recently, SAN LASER launched a new air-cooled welding machine. Let's learn about the difference between the two.

Similarities

1. Welding Speed

Air-cooled laser welders have high welding speeds. The speed can reach 20-100mm/sec and can weld bulk products in a period of time. It can weld up to 10 inches per minute, which is very useful for manufacturing industries.

Water-cooled laser welders also have high welding speeds, which is 10 inches per minute.

2. Welding Quality

Excellent welding results can be produced using air-cooled or water-cooled laser welders. These are widely considered to be reliable and have effective operability.

3. Material Range

Air-cooled welders are capable of welding all metals from stainless steel to copper. Its range makes it a favorable tool for use in multiple fields. It is an ideal choice in this regard. Water-cooled welders are similar to this and can help melt a variety of substances including metals, plastics, etc. This makes both options ideal in terms of material range.

Differences

1. Heat Dissipation

Air-cooled laser welders have high heat dissipation capabilities due to the compressed air applied to the welding area. On the other hand, water-cooled welders have higher heat dissipation capabilities due to the water-centered cooling capabilities.

2. Portability

Water-cooled welders are heavy due to the water-filled system. This makes them unsuitable for field-centric work. However, air-cooled laser welders use air as a coolant, which makes the equipment very light. This makes them portable and easy to use. Weighing only 38kg, this makes them convenient.
