Custom Laser Solutions
What is the laser solution customization process?

What is the difference between laser cutting and laser welding machines?
Laser cutting machines use high-power laser beams to cut metal materials, suitable for sheet metal processing and tube cutting. Laser welding machines use laser beams to melt and join workpieces, suitable for precision welding of automotive parts and batteries. We can recommend the most suitable equipment type based on your specific needs.
How to choose the right laser power?
Laser power selection depends on:
- Processing material: Carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum require different power levels
- Material thickness: Thin sheet (1-3mm) → 1000-3000W; Medium plate (3-10mm) → 3000-6000W; Thick plate (10mm+) → 6000W+
- Processing speed: Higher power means faster cutting speed
Our engineers can provide free power selection advice based on your specific materials.
