As a relatively novel connection process, laser welding technology has great potential for innovation. As the price of laser sources falls, it is foreseeable that the application of this technology will become more and more extensive. Now, ordinary consumer products are also joining the ranks of the use of laser welding.
The automotive industry has always been a major market for laser welding technology, and the advent of the economic crisis has forced the industry to find and establish more cost-effective production and connection processes. At present, many examples have repeatedly proved that laser welding machines have more cost-effective advantages than other methods. If this trend continues, the advanced laser welding process will accelerate its popularity and development. The medical technology industry has also shown strong demand for laser welding technology. This application area has strict requirements on the high cleanliness of the process, and the laser welding machine can meet these requirements well. Compared with other commonly used connection technologies, laser welding technology produces no welding slag and debris, and does not require the use of any adhesive. It can completely complete welding work in a clean room, for example, welding of balls used for cardiac interventional treatment catheter Capsules or similar applications illustrate this problem. The manufacture of microfluidic chips requires a high-precision welding process. Usually, the micro-channel can not be realized by other welding methods, or can only use other non-welding processes with high cost. The use of laser welding in parallel to the edge of the micro-flow channel can simultaneously form the flow channel while welding.
In addition, laser welding technology can also be used to weld larger devices, such as car taillights or similar commonly used large plastic parts. Even the welding of large-scale products such as TV casings and washing machines is no longer a problem.
