Introduction:
In recent years, a trend of consumption downgrading has swept across various industries in China, and the hardware processing industry is no exception. Despite this, international trade in hardware accessories has remained largely unaffected.

The furniture hardware processing industry is a market with a production value of hundreds of billions of yuan, and almost all types of furniture products cannot leave this hardware industry. However, the price war of products in the industry continues to be fierce and unavoidable. Faced with this unprecedented survival pressure, it is imperative for enterprises to "reduce costs and increase efficiency".

Challenges in Traditional Welding:
In today's hardware processing industry, welding technology plays a vital role in the processing process. As the market's requirements for welding quality and efficiency are getting higher and higher. Traditional argon arc welding generally has problems such as long cycle, high cost, low efficiency, and human operation errors in the field of processing and manufacturing. The shortcomings of argon arc welding are becoming more and more obvious.

Low welding efficiency: argon arc welding has low welding efficiency and manual wire filling, which greatly delays the production cycle of the product!

High cost of welding materials: Because the shielding gas of argon arc welding requires the use of argon gas, and high-purity argon gas is expensive, in the long run, the cost of welding consumables is a considerable expense for enterprises.

High labor cost: Argon arc welding operators need special operation operation certificates, the operation process is complicated, and the entry threshold is high, which to a certain extent increases the problem of difficulty in recruiting workers and high labor costs for enterprises.

High rework cost: During the welding process, argon arc welding will generate high-density current, which is easy to cause rough welding surface, welding penetration, uneven welds, etc., which is very unfriendly to workpieces with precision welding requirements such as thin materials and small parts. This leads to a large amount of grinding and shaping or even rework, and the rework cost rises sharply.
 

Welding has restrictions: low-melting-point volatile metals cannot be welded.

High safety risk: Improper operation of traditional argon arc welding is prone to safety accidents.

In response to these problems, hardware manufacturers need to find differentiated competitive strategies to improve product quality while reducing costs and increasing efficiency in order to be invincible in the competition. With the surge in market demand for diversification, laser welding technology has become increasingly mature, bringing new breakthroughs and hopes for the transformation and upgrading of the hardware processing industry.

The application of laser welding in the hardware processing market is becoming more and more common. Many furniture hardware manufacturers are more concerned about equipment welding efficiency and quality, later consumables, operation difficulty, safety protection, after-sales costs and many other aspects.

Welding efficiency: The welding speed is significantly improved, which can generally reach 4 to 10 times or even higher than traditional oxy-arc welding. The heat-affected zone of laser welding is small, which can effectively reduce welding deformation, and the weld is beautiful and smooth. The grinding and polishing process is completely eliminated, reducing the rework cost. Get rid of the difficulty of traditional welding, and the handheld welding operation is simple and easy to get started.

Welding process: The handheld laser welder has flexible and lightweight operation characteristics, which is especially suitable for handling various complex welding requirements of stainless steel thin plates. Whether it is a straight weld or a curved weld, it can be easily dealt with. At the same time, it can also realize spot welding, butt welding, lap welding, sealing welding, etc., to meet the richness of stainless steel products, creative modeling and different welding process requirements.

Reduce costs: At the same time, it can effectively help dealers reduce costs and improve efficiency in daily operations, including reducing welder training costs, consumables costs, labor costs, etc., so as to occupy a more advantageous position in market competition and achieve business growth.

A high-quality, high-volume furniture hardware manufacturer must have a variety of welding processes to meet the various types of customer needs.
