Industry Applications for Laser Welding Machines!

Fields and industries where laser welding machines find regular use include:

·  Automotive Industry

·  Electronic Component Manufacturing Industry

·  Aerospace Industry

·  Medical Device Manufacturer

·  Machine Manufacturer

·  Jewelry Maker


Let us now break down each industry and see how these lasers are used in these fields.


Automotive Industry

In the automotive industry, laser welding machines are used for body spot welding and seam welding.


Specifically, it is often used in the following assembly processes.

·  Welding of vehicle frame and chassis (skeleton)

·  Assembling the door panel and bonnet

·  Precision welding of thin metal parts

·  Manufacture of vehicle exhaust systems (systems related to exhaust gas)

·  Assembling battery packs (ex. electric vehicles, etc.)

·  Welding of lightweight materials (ex. aluminum alloy, etc.)

·  Welding of composite materials (ex. fiber reinforced plastics, etc.)

·  Welding of small electronic parts such as airbag sensors


The main reason why laser welding machines are used in manufacturing processes in the automotive industry is because Car assembly welding sometimes requires precision work. Laser welding machines are capable of extremely fast and precise welding, and are compatible with automation, contributing to efficiency and quality improvement in automobile manufacturing.


Electronic Component Manufacturing Industry

In the electronic component manufacturing industry, laser welding machines are used for spot welding of fine wires and pins.


In particular, it is often used in the following manufacturing processes.

·  Welding minute parts on the board

·  Bonding of electronic chip and substrate

·  Assembling sensor parts

·  Precision connector manufacturing

·  Assembling the battery pack

·  Welding small parts inside smartphones

·  Assembling the camera module

·  Welding of small electronic components for medical equipment


Electronic component manufacturing requires precision processing. Laser welding machines can meet these demands. It is also possible to handle different materials and minimize heat damage to parts. These characteristics of laser welding machines contribute to consistent quality maintenance of electronic components.


Aerospace Industry

In the aerospace industry, laser welders are used to manufacture parts that require high strength to withstand safety standards.


It may be used in the following manufacturing processes:

·  Assembling structural parts such as aircraft frames

·  Manufacture of turbine blades

·  Precision welding of lightweight alloy materials

·  Assembling engine components

·  Welding of high strength aluminum alloy

·  Manufacture of aerodynamic components

·  Assembling small satellite parts

·  Welding of electronic systems inside aircraft


Parts and products needed in the aerospace industry require durable quality and light weight. Laser welding machines are capable of high-strength welding and can handle a wide variety of materials, making them more efficient and lightweight. You can also do a combination.


Medical Device Manufacturer

Medical device manufacturers use laser welding machines to assemble and repair precision medical equipment.


For example, it is often used in the following manufacturing processes and also finds use in reparing different electrical components.

·  Precision assembly of surgical instruments

·  Production and repair of implants (teeth and bones)

·  Assembling small parts for medical electronics

·  Manufacturing and repair of probes and sensors

·  Advanced medical device housing manufacturing

·  Joining metal parts of medical devices


When manufacturing medical devices, extremely high safety and quality standards must be met, and one manufacturing tool that can meet these standards is a laser welder.


Machine Manufacturer

Laser welding machines are also widely used in the manufacture of mechanical products other than the automobiles and medical devices mentioned above. Machine manufacturers use laser welding machines to assemble precision machine parts.


For example, it is often used in the following situations:

·  Assembling large structures

·  Manufacture of metal parts that require high-precision welding

·  Welding parts with complex shapes

·  Use of lightweight and durable materials

·  Use for seamless joining of metal parts

·  High quality surface treatment

·  Use in automated production lines


It is commonly used in the automotive and medical device industries, but it can also be used for assembly of large structures and work that requires high-quality surface treatment. >It is characterized by being often used.


Jewelry Maker

Jewelry manufacturers use laser welders to join and repair delicate metal parts.

·  Assembling delicate jewelry

·  Precise joining of different metals

·  Jewelry Restoration and Repair

·  Jewelry installation

·  Size adjustment (ring size, etc.)

·  Custom design production


Laser welding machines are widely used by jewelry manufacturers because they require delicate and precise welding capabilities. The jewelry making process involves assembling small parts and attempting to realize complex designs.

Another reason for its use is that the range of thermal effects is small, so there is less risk of damaging expensive materials such as gold and platinum. Laser welding machines can perform welding at a level that satisfies the above conditions, so they are used in a wide range of applications in the jewelry industry.
