2021
Laser welding equipment and new processing technologies represent a cutting‑edge production approach that leverages precisely directed energy delivery to enable non‑contact manufacturing. This fundamentally differs from traditional contact-based production methods and can seamlessly integrate with other emerging technologies, giving rise to novel innovations and driving industrialization. Such advancements will have a profound and direct impact on the evolution of conventional manufacturing industries. Thanks to the increasing stability and growing industrial applications of picosecond lasers and all‑femtosecond laser technologies, laser equipment will be used more extensively in precision manufacturing across a wide range of materials—including full‑screen displays, ceramics, metals, and alloy materials—supporting the growth of industries such as consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, and high‑end manufacturing.
Full-screen panel processing for laser equipment
The most direct impact of the overall display trend is the shift in smartphone display technologies. Consequently, packaging processes must become increasingly sophisticated to ensure that devices look visually appealing. This has eased the stringent requirements for contour cutting. At present, only laser equipment can enable small- and medium-sized flexible OLED panels based on LTPS technology to outperform LCD screens in terms of color gamut, contrast ratio, power efficiency, and bendability. The growing adoption of flexible OLED panels is driving the advancement of front‑screen technologies—and, building on current smartphone designs, it offers the optimal solution for compatibility with functional components such as front cameras, receivers, and sensors, while simultaneously fostering the development of low‑power laser equipment.
Processing of Brittle Materials with Laser Equipment
As consumers’ demands for phone aesthetics become increasingly stringent, the materials used for phone cases and back panels will be replaced by brittle materials. Traditional cutting wheels are no longer suitable for cutting these brittle materials.
Laser Processing for New Energy Vehicles and Power Batteries
Thanks to the increased production of power batteries, demand in the laser welding equipment industry has risen. The core technologies driving the future development of electric vehicles revolve around the safety, cost, and energy storage capacity of power batteries. The production process of power batteries is complex and subject to stringent safety requirements. One of the key process technologies in battery manufacturing is laser welding. Laser welding processes for power batteries include soft‑busbar welding, top‑cover welding, seal‑nail welding, as well as module and cell‑to‑module welding. Laser welding equipment offers advantages such as minimal material loss during welding, reduced deformation of welded components, stable equipment performance, and high welding quality and automation levels.
The ongoing trend of vehicle lightweighting continues to drive demand for… Laser welding equipment the demand. Reducing vehicle weight not only lowers fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, but also enhances acceleration performance, shortens braking distances, and ultimately improves the driving experience. Consequently, automotive lightweighting has emerged as a new goal pursued by automakers both domestically and internationally. An effective approach to achieving vehicle lightweighting is to employ lightweight materials. Currently available lightweight materials for automobiles include aluminum alloys, carbon fiber, and magnesium alloys—materials that are more challenging to process than conventional steel. Laser welding is typically used to address these challenges, allowing manufacturers to strike a balance between processing efficiency and material performance. In addition, laser welding of sheet metal can minimize overlapping areas, thereby reducing overall weight. As an advanced manufacturing technology, laser welding is poised to become a standard tool in the automotive industry, and demand for it is expected to grow steadily alongside the ongoing trend toward vehicle lightweighting.
