Laser Welding Machine Consumables Guide
For users of fiber laser welding machines and handheld fiber laser welders, understanding the consumables and maintenance methods is essential for ensuring stable welding quality and extending equipment lifespan. Compared with traditional welding methods, fiber laser welding machines require fewer consumables, offer simpler maintenance, and significantly reduce overall operating costs.
Main Consumables of a Laser Welding Machine
The core consumables of Xianming fiber laser welding machines mainly include the following two types:
Protective Lens
The protective lens prevents welding spatter and dust from entering the optical path system. It is a key consumable for all handheld laser welding machines.
Affects laser transmission efficiency and overall welding stability
Cleanliness of the protective lens directly impacts the quality of the final weld
Welding Nozzle / Copper Nozzle
The welding nozzle directs shielding gas and helps maintain a stable molten pool. Over long periods of welding, spatter buildup may cause clogging or wear.
Regular cleaning or replacement is recommended
Different nozzle sizes are available to match various welding applications
Besides the protective lens and weldiAfter completing welding operations, it is recommended to seal the welding nozzle with paper tape:ng nozzle, the laser welding machine requires no other consumables, making maintenance far more economical than traditional welders.
Daily Maintenance Tips for Laser Welding Machine Consumables
To extend consumable life and maintain welding stability, users of handheld fiber laser welding machines should pay attention to the following details:
Check the Protective Lens Before Use
Before starting the fiber laser welding machine, ensure the protective lens is clean and undamaged:
Remove any dust, smoke residue, or debris immediately
Excessive contamination may cause rough welds or decreased laser energy
A clean lens significantly improves laser stability and prolongs its service life
Seal the Welding Copper Nozzle After Use
After completing welding operations, it is recommended to seal the welding nozzle with paper tape:
Prevents airborne dust from entering the welding head
Avoids secondary contamination of the protective lens during downtime
Effectively extends the service life of both the protective lens and the nozzle
Conclusion
Handheld laser welding equipment have minimal consumables and are easy to maintain. By simply focusing on the cleanliness and condition of the protective lens and welding nozzle, the equipment can operate stably for a long time.
Following these consumable maintenance tips will not only improve laser welding results but also reduce operating costs and enhance overall working efficiency.
