HuaXia BiShui Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. is a medium-sized environmental equipment manufacturer specializing in wastewater treatment systems. The company faced challenges with its carbon steel structure welding for wastewater treatment devices, using traditional welding methods that required frequent cooling breaks. The welding process took 50 minutes per piece, with a low weld qualification rate of just 85%. This led to high labor and consumable costs, affecting production efficiency and increasing operational expenses. Therefore, they inquired with Kempson about the Industrial Fiber Laser Welding Machine.
Custom Requirements
This environmental technology company requires a welding solution that meets the following requirements:
- Increase welding speed to reduce the time required per welded part.
- Ensure high-quality welds with minimal defects to improve weld acceptance rates.
- Lower operational costs, particularly by reducing labor and consumable expenses.
- Support extended continuous operation to minimize frequent shutdowns for cooling.
- Meet the demands of high-standard, high-volume production.
Solution
Kempson recommended the KPS-LHW3500 water-cooled industrial fiber laser welding machine, perfectly suited for welding thick carbon steel structures. Key features included:
3500W Power: Ideal for welding carbon steel up to 12mm thickness with precision and efficiency.
Advanced Water-Cooling System: Equipped with a custom high-power cooling unit (4.2kW), ensuring continuous operation without overheating, even during long shifts.
Wide Weld Seam (8mm): Ensures strong, aesthetically pleasing welds, eliminating the need for post-weld grinding.
Low Consumable Cost: With consumables costing around 150 CNY per month, the solution drastically reduced operational expenses.
24-Hour Continuous Operation: The machine was designed for non-stop operation, making it perfect for high-demand production environments.
Customer Feedback
After putting the KPS-LHW3500 into operation, the customer expressed great satisfaction. They reported that it significantly boosted overall production efficiency, reduced single-piece welding time from 50 minutes to 30 minutes, maintained a stable welding pass rate above 97%, and greatly reduced rework.
The customer expressed strong approval of the solution, stating: “The wide welds not only look aesthetically pleasing but are also exceptionally strong and durable. Even during summer months, the machine operates reliably without any overheating issues. It has become a core piece of equipment on our production line.”
