Can Laser Welding Switch between Different Welding Modes? For Example, between Spot Welding And Continuous Welding

During the use of laser welding machines, many companies may have the question: Can laser welding machines switch between different welding modes? For example, switching back and forth between spot welding and continuous welding. The answer is yes, most mainstream laser welding machines on the market have mode switching function, which can flexibly adapt to different welding needs.

The key to achieving mode switching in laser welding machines lies in the precise control of the laser beam by the control system. Whether it is spot welding or continuous welding, the essence is the process of laser energy acting on the workpiece. The difference lies in the output mode of the laser - during spot welding, the laser instantly releases energy in the form of pulses, forming point like fusion nuclei on the workpiece; During continuous welding, the laser continues to output, forming a continuous weld seam. By operating the control system of the device, the output mode of the laser can be changed to switch between spot welding and continuous welding.

However, mode switching is not a simple parameter adjustment, it also requires adaptation to other components. For example, when switching to spot welding mode, it is necessary to ensure that parameters such as laser pulse width and peak power match the size of the weld and the thickness of the workpiece; When switching to continuous welding, it is necessary to adjust the continuous output power and welding speed of the laser, while ensuring that the wire feeding mechanism (if any) is coordinated with the laser movement speed. Taking sheet metal processing as an example, spot welding mode can be used when welding small connectors, while continuous welding can be switched when splicing long plates, and different processes can be completed without changing equipment.

It should be noted that the flexibility of mode switching may vary among different types of laser welding machines. Portable laser welding machines are usually pre-set with common modes, making switching operations easier and suitable for small to medium batch, multi type welding needs; Industrial grade laser welding machines support more custom parameter adjustments, enabling precise switching between multiple modes such as overlay welding and deep penetration welding in addition to spot welding and continuous welding, and adapting to complex production scenarios.

In addition, the stability of the equipment is crucial for the welding quality after mode switching. If the laser energy output is unstable after switching modes, it can easily lead to problems such as weak solder joints and uneven welds.

Choosing the right equipment is crucial for achieving a flexible and stable welding mode switching experience. The control system of PDKJ laser welding machine is precise, supporting quick switching of multiple modes such as spot welding and continuous welding. The parameter adjustment is convenient, suitable for different workpiece requirements, and the equipment runs stably, ensuring the welding quality after switching. It is a reliable choice for enterprise production.
