The disruptive miniaturization design of fiber lasers is feeding back into the handheld laser welding market. The handheld laser welding that enters the trunk is bathed in the luster of black technology, making traditional argon arc welding and electric welding tremble.

In the early years, argon arc welding was the most commonly used thin plate welding method among our ancestors, but its drawbacks were also very obvious. The welding threshold was high, the efficiency was low, and the subsequent polishing and polishing were complex. Especially, the strong arc radiation generated was harmful to the operator's health. With the launch of miniaturized fiber lasers, the handheld laser welding market has also experienced explosive growth, and now this market has begun to take shape.

 

In the field of industrial lasers, the importance of miniaturization trends in fiber lasers is beyond doubt. We are also well aware that miniaturization has always been a turning point in every technological advancement, such as in mobile phones, computers, and semiconductors. I believe that miniaturization will also be a necessary path for the advancement of lasers. With smaller size and higher integration, it means greater portability, richer application scenarios, and greater benefits for end users.

Imagine what kind of impact the palm sized high-energy laser on Iron Man's arm would have on the entire laser manufacturing industry and even the entire technology field? To what extent will laser weapons, cutting machines, and handheld welding machines evolve? Nowadays, semiconductors and computers continue to evolve towards miniaturization. Who dares to assert that miniaturization and lightweighting of lasers are meaningless? Looking forward to breakthroughs in laser technology bringing dividends to many fields, and the future of the laser industry is promising!
