2. Core Composition of the Solution
Basic Support Modules
Based on accurate product drawings and data as the technical foundation, the solution integrates 3D three-dimensional layout and 2D planar layout designs to clarify equipment placement and process flow logic. It is also equipped with two sets of customized fixture systems, including core components such as quick clamps, positioning blocks for mold changing, horizontal pipe spacing adjustment blocks, adjustable block rails, slides for mold changing, side push cylinders, and press cylinders—enabling flexible adaptation to different quantities and distribution spacings of pipes.
 
Key Equipment Configuration

The solution integrates core equipment such as an electrical control cabinet, laser welding head, industrial robot, dual positioners, and water chiller. Among them, V-shaped blocks are used for positioning round pipes and U-shaped blocks for square pipes, ensuring precise fixation of different pipes and stable welding processes.

3. Standardized Welding Process
  1. Move the fixture components to the corresponding position according to the product width, and adjust the equipment length to match the product specifications;
  2. Arrange the fixture adjustment blocks according to the quantity and distribution of horizontal pipes;
  3. Place a collector on one side and insert the horizontal pipes, then install the collector on the other side to achieve precise product alignment;
  4. Activate the side push cylinder to lock the collector, and press the workpiece twice with the press cylinder to avoid welding deformation;
  5. The laser welding head completes the welding of the weld seam on one side, and the dual positioners drive the workpiece to flip for welding the weld seam on the reverse side, thus completing the entire operation.

Comparison Dimension

Traditional Arc Welding (TIG/MIG/MAG)

Laser Welding

Heat Affected Zone & Deformation Control

Wide heat diffusion range; thin stainless steel frames prone to bending/warping, requiring extra straightening process

High-energy laser focuses on welding spots; heat affected zone is 1/5–1/10 that of arc welding; no obvious deformation for thin-walled parts

Weld Appearance & Post-processing

Wide welds; TIG welding causes weld beads, MIG welding leads to spatter; exposed welds need manual grinding and polishing

Narrow, smooth, spatter-free welds; meets finished product appearance standards directly

Weld Strength & Precision Adaptability

Low weld penetration control accuracy; easy to burn through or cold weld precision parts (heater tube holders, micro connectors)

Precise penetration control; dense weld structure; tensile strength 10%–20% higher than arc welding; stable welding for 0.3–2mm thin-walled parts

Production Efficiency & Automation

High reliance on welder skills for manual TIG welding; limited single-machine capacity; frequent electrode/wire replacement

Integratable with robotic arms and vision positioning systems for unmanned continuous operation; 3–5x faster than manual TIG welding; accurate reproduction of complex welding paths

Material Compatibility

Difficult to weld high thermal conductivity materials (aluminum alloy, copper alloy); prone to pores and cracks

Stable welding of stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloy, copper alloy by adjusting power; supports heterogeneous material splicing

Energy Consumption & Cost

Low arc energy efficiency; continuous consumption of shielding gas, electrodes and wires; high long-term costs

High energy efficiency; fiber laser welder consumes 1/3 the power of arc welding equipment; no massive wire consumption

 
4. Core Advantages of the Solution
  • Strong Adaptability: Equipped with adjustable fixtures and flexible size-adaptive design, it is compatible with stainless steel towel warmers of different specifications and pipe types, meeting the production needs of multi-variety, small-batch or large-batch production.
  • High Degree of Automation: Integrates automated components such as industrial robots, dual positioners, and cylinder pressing systems, reducing manual intervention and human operation errors while improving welding precision and product consistency.
  • Superior Welding Quality: Laser welding technology achieves narrow weld seams and small heat-affected zones with high weld density, fully meeting the core airtightness requirements of stainless steel towel warmers. Additionally, the workpiece experiences minimal deformation after welding, eliminating the need for extensive subsequent grinding.
  • High Production Efficiency: Standardized process flows and quick mold change design shorten product switching time. Combined with efficient robotic welding operations, it significantly increases hourly output and reduces the production cost per unit.
