Customer Background

Customer Background Tianjin Huabang New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is a small enterprise specializing in heavy machinery manufacturing, primarily producing carbon steel components for screw conveyors. Previously using conventional welding equipment, the client faced challenges with insufficient penetration depth and uneven weld bead formation in thick plate welding. This required multiple rework passes, resulting in low efficiency, increased labor costs, and difficulty meeting batch production demands. Consequently, they sought a highly efficient and stable thick plate welding solution from Kempson.

Kempson specializes in the R&D and manufacturing of thick plate welding equipment, providing professional laser welding solutions for steel structure and heavy metal fabrication. We offer air-cooled and water-cooled thick plate laser welding systems, integrated with automated welding platforms and laser cleaning technology. This comprehensive support caters to diverse production scenarios, from flexible on-site welding to high-cycle factory operations, helping steel fabricators reduce labor costs, minimize distortion, and enhance overall efficiency.

Solution

To address the client’s thick plate welding requirements, Kempson provided the KPS-XLHW4000 water-cooled laser welding system specifically designed for thick plates. This solution achieves efficient, stable welding of heavy steel structures through high-power laser technology and an intelligent wire feeding system.

01
Robust Welding Capability
4000W laser power achieves single-pass fillet welding on 12mm carbon steel, producing 8mm-wide welds with 4.5mm build-up height—eliminating multiple pass rework.
02
24/7 Continuous Operation
An 18,000W all-copper tube water-cooling system prevents overheating shutdowns, ensuring sustained, stable performance.
03
Flexible Deployment & Adaptability
Equipped with swivel casters and a 10-meter fiber optic cable, the unit can be swiftly relocated between workstations, enabling a single machine to cover multiple welding positions.
04
Intelligent Wire Feeding Technology
Equipped with a stepper-driven quad-wire feeder supporting automatic switching between 1/2/3/4 wires, effectively addressing insufficient penetration and filling defects in thick plates.
05
Industrial-Grade Stability
Integrated with professional lasers and Schneider electrical control systems, featuring low equipment failure rates and minimal maintenance costs for critical components.
06
Low Operating Costs
Patented anti-spatter torch design extends consumable lifespan, with average monthly material costs of only 150 yuan—70% savings compared to traditional solutions.

Customer Feedback

Since the KPS-XLHW4000 was put into operation three months ago, welding efficiency has indeed improved significantly. Previously, multi-pass welding was required for 12mm-thick plate fillet welds, but now a single pass meets strength requirements, reducing per-piece processing time from 45 minutes to approximately 18 minutes. More importantly, weld quality stability has greatly improved, with a consistent first-pass acceptance rate exceeding 98%. This represents substantial cost savings for our high-volume production operations.
