Types of Plastic Laser Welding Machines and Recommended Water Chiller Solutions

Plastic laser welding machines can be categorized based on their working principles, laser sources, or application scenarios. Each type requires a reliable cooling system to maintain stable performance and prolong equipment lifespan. Below are the common types of plastic laser welding machines and the recommended chiller models from TEYU S&A Chiller Manufacturer:

1. Fiber Laser Welding Machines

These machines utilize continuous or pulsed laser beams generated by fiber lasers. They are known for high welding precision, stable energy output, compact size, and low maintenance. Fiber laser welding is widely used for plastic components requiring clean and accurate seams.

Recommended Chiller: TEYU CWFL Series Fiber Laser Chillers– designed for dual-circuit cooling, offering independent control for laser source and optics.

2. CO2 Laser Welding Machines  

CO2 lasers produce long-wavelength beams through gas discharge, suitable for high-power welding of thick plastic sheets and non-metallic materials such as ceramics. Their high thermal efficiency makes them ideal for industrial plastic processing.  

Recommended Chiller: TEYU CO2 Laser Chillers – specifically developed for cooling CO2 laser tubes and their power supplies, ensuring stable operation.

3. Nd:YAG Laser Welding Machines

These solid-state lasers emit short-wavelength beams with high energy density, typically used for precision or micro-welding applications. Although more common in electronics or medical device manufacturing, they can be used for plastic welding under specific conditions.  

Recommended Chiller: TEYU CW Series Chillers – compact and efficient cooling units suitable for low to medium-power Nd:YAG lasers.

4. Handheld Laser Welding Machines

Portable and user-friendly, handheld laser welders are suitable for small-batch and diverse material welding tasks, including certain types of plastic. Their flexibility makes them a popular choice for field work and custom projects.  

Recommended Chiller: TEYU Handheld Laser Welding Chillers – optimized for portable applications, offering stable and precise temperature control.

5. Application-Specific Laser Welding Machines

Machines designed for specialized applications, such as microfluidic chips or medical tubing, may involve custom welding systems with unique temperature control requirements. These setups often demand tailored cooling solutions.
