Zouping Yingding Machinery is a small, custom machinery manufacturer with 20-50 employees, specializing in agricultural machinery gearboxes and textile machine roller seats. The company deals with small-batch, multi-variety orders, requiring flexibility in their production processes. They faced challenges with their existing welding equipment, which was heavy and cumbersome.
Their traditional welding machines were difficult to maneuver, and welding distortion led to low assembly tolerance rates, affecting production efficiency. Looking for a more adaptable solution, Zouping Yingding Machinery turned to Kempson for heavy-duty laser welding machine solutions to address their welding needs for both carbon steel and stainless steel components.
Custom Requirements
- Ensures high efficiency and precision while accommodating flexible operations for small-batch, multi-variety orders.
- Supports single-operator use to reduce labor intensity while maintaining welding quality.
- Minimizes welding distortion to improve part assembly tolerance rates.
- Delivers convenient, high-precision welding solutions suitable for 10mm thick carbon steel and 9mm thick stainless steel.
Solution
Based on customer requirements, Kempson team recommended the “KPS-LHW3000+KPS-LHW4000” thick plate water-cooled Heavy Duty Laser Welding Machine combination, both equipped with handheld torches. The 3000W model achieves 10mm carbon steel fillet welds and 9mm stainless steel welds, while the 4000W model handles 12mm and 11mm thicknesses respectively, with all welds reaching 8mm width. Paired with 10-meter fiber optic cables and swivel casters on the base, these units eliminate the need for fixed workstations, making them perfectly suited for multi-product operations.
During the communication process, the team demonstrated the lightweight operation of the handheld Heavy Duty Laser Welding Machine to the customer via video. Technicians pre-set welding parameters for carbon steel and stainless steel on the high-definition touchscreen, allowing operators to access them with a single button press. Furthermore, Kempson’s after-sales team offers a three-year warranty and dedicated service support, addressing the customer’s concerns about subsequent maintenance.
Customer Feedback
The Heavy Duty Laser Welding Machine has significantly boosted production efficiency and reduced consumable costs since its implementation. A single operator can now work continuously for 4 hours, substantially lowering labor intensity. Welding deformation has decreased, and the compliance rate for assembly tolerances has greatly improved. Given that 70% of the company’s orders are customized, our client plans to purchase an additional 3000W handheld welding machine by 2026 and seeks access to a multi-material welding parameter database.
