What is the Difference?
Fiber handheld Laser welder is 10 times faster than TIG welder depending on the application. Laser type of welding is also preferred because it penetrates deeply into materials. when used to weld joints, one would not require passing the welding bit multiple times over the materials as would be needed when using TIG or other types of welding.
However, the type of job may influence the choice if you are choosing a fiber handheld laser welding machine or TIG welder. In some cases, such as working with high-quality metals, the latter may not be optional. Other factors to consider include the cost of installation and maintenance, the welding thickness, speed and safety.
Handheld laser welding machines obviously do not require filler materials and use light beams to generate the heat used the heat in seaming. Traditional forms of welding use electricity-generated heat to melt and hence fuse joints and will need filler materials. In the former type, carbon dioxide is needed at the weld site while in the case of traditional welding, mostly argon is used as a shielding gas.
Besides, fiber lasers can be used to weld both thin and thick materials and are considered low cost and high efficiency than other types of handheld welder machines.
Applications of Fiber Handheld Laser Welding Machine
Fiber hand held welding machines can be applied to many types of work, such as metal fabrications of heavy industry and aluminum channel letter welding of the signage industry, and even much more. It is advantageous over other forms of welding when working on precision parts and alloy metals with high reflection.
Advantages of Handheld Laser Welder Over TIG Welder
Laser handheld welder also uses concentrated light beams that are focused on the material to melt the joints together. Fiber handheld laser score high in regard. Another obvious advantage of fiber handheld laser over traditional welding forms is that it does not need extra handling techniques to feed a filler material because the filler is not always needed.
There are many other advantages for which you may prefer laser welding of any type over traditional welders. Although TIG welding produces good strength of welds, lasers are superior in this regard. This is due to its excellent depth-to-width ratio and thin seams. The laser also limits the heat-affected zone compared to traditional forms of welding, because the cooling is very fast.
It is rare for anyone to use gas and other forms of traditional welding on precious metals. Hand held laser welders, however, can be applied in welding these types of metals. This is in addition to welding carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other types of metals.
While TIG is regarded as precision welding among traditional types of welding, the laser achieves even greater perfection. The small laser beam is easy to control on seams to achieve greater accuracy even in miniature components that would be problematic to work on using TIG.
The laser also limits deformation and shrinking on parts being welded. It also does not require contact being made between the laser head and the material being worked on. Additionally, it can be used to replace spot welding where access is achieved from one side.
In a word, the fiber handheld laser welder is a more efficient form of welding as it limits scrap generation. It is safer and more environmentally friendly to work with when welding compared to TIG and other forms of traditional welding.
