Why is the efficiency of handheld laser welding machines higher than that of traditional welding?

1. Welded workpieces are flat, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing, requiring no grinding or polishing—or only minimal finishing—thereby reducing the need for polishing and grinding personnel.

2. Handheld laser welding machines minimize labor intensity. Their flexible and lightweight design allows operators to perform simple actions like removing and placing workpieces, enabling effortless operation. This reduces employee turnover and ensures uninterrupted business operations.

3. Welding efficiency is 2 to 3 times higher than traditional methods.

4. No filler material is required during welding, significantly reducing manufacturing costs. Minimal electricity consumption further lowers production expenses.

5. Heat input is minimized, resulting in a small heat-affected zone and reduced deformation caused by thermal conduction.

6. The welds are robust. They conserve base material, and tested welded components will not fracture at the weld line when folded.

7. The laser beam is easily focused, aligned, and guided by optical instruments. It can be positioned at an appropriate distance from the workpiece and redirected around surrounding machinery or obstacles—limitations that prevent other welding methods from operating effectively in such confined spaces.

8. Requires no specialized technical skills; can be operated by general laborers. Simple and intuitive operation.

9. Suitable for high-volume, continuous production. The machine's user-friendly operation eliminates concerns about labor shortages during peak production periods.
