Xianming Laser Welding Wire Feeding Selection Guide Based on Laser Power
In laser welding applications, the wire feeding configuration plays a critical role in welding quality, penetration depth, and production efficiency. Selecting the right wire feeding system according to laser power and application requirements helps achieve stable welds and higher productivity.
Based on practical application experience, Xianming Laser provides the following wire feeding selection guide for different laser power levels.
Why Is Wire Feeding Configuration Important?
The wire feeding system directly affects:
Weld bead filling and formation
Weld penetration and joint strength
Welding speed and production efficiency
Stability in automated and continuous laser welding
As laser power increases and thicker materials are welded, higher wire feeding capacity becomes essential.
Laser Power vs. Wire Feeding Recommendation
| Laser Power | Recommended Wire Feeding | Application Description |
| ≤ 2000 W | Single Wire Feed | Thin to medium plate welding, fine weld appearance |
| 3000 W | Dual Wire Feed | Medium-thick plate welding, higher efficiency |
| 6000 W | Triple / Quad Wire Feed | Thick plate welding, high deposition and productivity |
🔹 Applicable Power: Up to 2000 W
Typical Materials: Thin to medium plates
Key Features:
Precise wire control and stable feeding
Clean and smooth weld bead appearance
Simple structure with lower maintenance cost
Typical Applications:
Sheet metal fabrication, stainless steel enclosures, appliance housings, light structural components
👉 Best suited for applications requiring high weld quality and fine appearance
🔹 Dual Wire Feeding (3000 W)
Applicable Power: 3000 W
Typical Materials: Medium-thick plates
Key Features:
Two wires fed simultaneously into the molten pool
Increased filler volume and deeper penetration
Significantly improved welding speed and efficiency
Typical Applications:
Industrial machinery parts, structural components, automotive and laser equipment welding
👉 A balanced solution for strength, penetration, and productivity
🔹 Triple / Quad Wire Feeding (6000 W)
Applicable Power: 6000 W
Typical Materials: Thick plates and large weld seams
Key Features:
High filler deposition rate for large weld gaps
Strong penetration combined with high-speed welding
Ideal for robotic welding cells and automated production lines
Typical Applications:
Heavy machinery, large steel structures, thick plate assemblies, automated welding lines
👉 The optimal choice for high-power, high-output welding applications
Xianming Laser Wire Feeding Selection Summary
Up to 2000 W → Single wire feeding
3000 W → Dual wire feeding
6000 W → Triple or quad wire feeding
In real applications, selection should also consider:
Material type (stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloys)
Joint design (butt joint, lap joint, fillet weld)
Manual, semi-automatic, or robotic welding requirements
