Safety features of handheld fiber laser welding machines！

In the field of industrial manufacturing, production safety has always been a task that enterprises attach great importance to. In addition to general accidental injuries, fire protection is a key issue in production safety. We have seen many news reports about major losses and casualties in workshops due to fires, some of which were caused by illegal welding operations. Why does electric welding cause fires? Is there a safer welding method in workshop production?

Traditional electric welding processes are less safe.

Metal welding has always been a very common processing method in the field of industrial manufacturing. Among them, the more commonly used traditional welding processes include argon arc welding, resistance spot welding, and soldering iron welding. These welding processes mainly use heat sources converted from electricity to achieve high-temperature welding, which is relatively low in cost, but there are many safety hazards.

Electric welding is to melt the metal through an arc for welding, so the temperature will be very high during the welding process, and there will be splashes of high-temperature welding slag or sparks during this process. If these objects fall on the surface of flammable materials, such as flying catkins, cotton fabrics, wood, chemicals, etc., it is very easy to cause fires or even directly explode. Therefore, a good working environment is required during the welding process, and welders need to be trained to use a formal welding process to work. In addition to the traditional welding processes we introduced, metal welding can also adopt a safer method at present, namely laser welding.

Laser welding machine provides a safer welding method

Laser welding is an efficient and precise metal welding method. It uses the heat energy converted by high-energy beams to radiate to the workpiece, instantly melting and bonding the material to achieve welding. Compared with traditional welding processes, laser welding also uses high energy to complete the welding process. However, the difference is that laser welding machines provide a more advanced and intelligent metal welding method. Since laser welding often uses protective gas or air blowing, the welding slag can be quickly blown away and cooled during the metal welding process, which can avoid the hidden danger of welding slag and sparks igniting. Moreover, the sparks during laser welding are the reflected light of the laser, which disappear quickly and are not easy to ignite objects.

The handheld laser welding machine is easy to operate, has a fast welding speed, low maintenance cost, and does not require welding materials, so the operating cost of the whole machine is very low. In order to achieve a safer effect, the laser welding gun is equipped with functions such as safety lock and safety indicator light. The user will only light up when pressing the switch with the safety lock activated. Therefore, you don't have to worry about the laser causing harm to the staff under uncontrolled conditions.

Laser welding machines are simpler and easier to operate

Traditional welding methods require operators to wear heavy protective clothing and protective masks, mainly to deal with the dust and smoke environment formed by welding. These harmful objects have potential risks to the skin and even the lungs. In addition, traditional welding equipment is relatively heavy, and long manual operation time can easily cause fatigue and reduce welding accuracy.

Fiber laser welding machines use lightweight handheld laser welding guns, which are ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue from long-term work. In addition, laser welding metal smoke pollution is less, and dust removal and purification devices can be equipped to achieve clean welding. Welders only need to wear laser protective glasses, without wearing heavy protective equipment, and the operation is simpler and more convenient.

Handheld laser welding machines get rid of the restrictions of traditional laser equipment on the workplace. Its chassis can be flexibly moved according to work needs, making it possible to process on-site anywhere. At present, SAN LASER provides users with 1000W/1500W/2000W/3000W laser welding machines. These industrial laser welding equipment are popular in the market and quickly enter hardware tools, door and window guardrails, stainless steel kitchenware, furniture, home appliances, automobile manufacturing and other industries, successfully replacing some traditional welding equipment.

Although laser welding machines are a safer way to weld metals, users still need to learn safe operation methods according to the machine manual or receive professional training programs before actually operating the machine. Contact SAN LASER online to learn more about laser welding machines.
