When choosing a laser welding light source, various factors such as the welding material, joint geometry, speed, and others must be taken into account.
In the manufacturing industry, the correct selection of a laser source is a practical challenge that manufacturers must address due to the widespread use of laser welding.
Currently, the available laser sources in the market include optical fiber, pulsed Nd: YAG, diode, disc, and CO2 laser sources. (Note: The CW Nd: YAG laser source has been largely replaced by optical fiber and disc lasers, and thus is not discussed in this paper).
The choice of a laser source must consider several factors, including the welding material, joint geometry, welding speed, geometric tolerance, system integration requirements, and of course, budget constraints.
Each laser source has unique characteristics that can meet different welding requirements. In some cases, they can also be substituted.
