SHINHOP laser

According to statistics from international market analysis agencies, by 2020, the global laser processing application market size will exceed 15.8 billion USD, with most of the contribution coming from the Asia-Pacific region, especially China, Japan, and South Korea, which will become major markets for laser equipment applications.

Since the birth of lasers, humanity has had high expectations for them. However, due to the lack of applications for laser processing technology in the early stages of industrial use, it was only after continuous efforts by experts and engineers in various fields that it began to penetrate industrial production in areas such as cutting, welding, and marking. It has also become a major service application tool for future industries and daily life, playing a crucial role in improving production processes and people's quality of life. Therefore, the further development of laser processing technology and the enhancement of processing techniques are always related to the pace of human development.
Next, let's talk about the applications of laser technology in the current social development industries.
1. Automotive manufacturing:
Automotive manufacturing has always been a strong industry in modern Western countries. Therefore, the regions that first applied laser processing technology were also Western powers. Currently, 50%-78% of automotive parts require laser processing, such as welding of body panels, roof welding, laser 3D cutting, and marking of parts, which are fast, precise, and of high quality.
At the same time, with the strong development of new energy vehicles in China, the lightweight of vehicles and the need for higher production technology require the assistance of laser technology. Shenzhen Xinhua Peng has made significant progress in this field, for example: the 3D five-axis laser cutting machine, splicing and welding systems, and various workstations developed by SHINHOP greatly assist new energy vehicles, especially the development of automotive manufacturers such as Yutong, Wuzhoulong, and BYD.
2. Mobile 3C manufacturing
Mobile 3C products, especially wearable electronic products, have increasingly high integration of electronic components, and the size of products is getting smaller, leading to more precise processing requirements for these components, such as the appearance of mobile phone screens, circuit boards, back covers, and internal structural parts, making the requirements for cutting, welding, and marking technology particularly high.
Traditional processing techniques such as printing and stamping can no longer meet the current characteristics of short product production cycles, fast shipment volumes, high technical requirements, and high production efficiency. Laser technology can precisely change these traditional shortcomings, thus developing laser processing technology has become the driving force for future enterprise development. Currently, mobile phone manufacturers such as Apple and Huawei have begun to apply laser processing technology.
3. New energy battery welding
Power batteries are the core components of new energy vehicles, directly determining the performance of the entire vehicle. The traditional processing method for battery casings is completed through ordinary welding or deep throat stamping and stretching, but safety, service life, and overall cost have always failed to meet market requirements. In comparison, the advantages of laser welding lie in low material loss, minimal deformation of the welded workpiece, stable and easy-to-operate equipment performance, and high welding quality and automation.
It can be said that the advantages of laser welding technology are unmatched by other welding methods. As the new energy vehicle industry continues to develop, higher requirements are placed on the assembly and welding precision and quality of supporting batteries, making the large-scale adoption of laser welding technology imperative.
4. Metal sheet processing
Before the explosion of the laser market, various metal sheet parts processing could not avoid the CNC turret punch processing process. Through simple mold combinations, multiple complex hole shapes and shallow stretching forming processes can be automatically completed at once. However, when fiber laser technology became the market mainstream, laser processing showed significant advantages.
Fiber laser processing not only has high processing precision and efficiency but can also process both thin and thick plates, as well as various complex shapes and curved surfaces without the need for molds, making automation easier to achieve. Therefore, laser processing has begun to replace some CNC turret punching and shearing machines in the current market.
5. Industrial cleaning
When "manufacturing" meets "environmental protection," how to find a cleaner and non-damaging cleaning method has become a problem that bosses must consider. Compared with traditional cleaning methods such as mechanical friction cleaning, chemical corrosion cleaning, liquid-solid strong impact cleaning, and high-frequency ultrasonic cleaning, laser cleaning has advantages such as being safer, more efficient, and not producing pollution.

Currently, laser cleaning is mainly used in industrial fields such as molds, weapon equipment, old paint on airplanes, electronic industries, and stone carvings. With continuous technological improvements and mass production of equipment, laser cleaning technology will undoubtedly play an important role in the industrial cleaning field.
China under the global laser industry
Currently, the development of the global laser industry can be mainly divided by region into the United States, Europe, Japan, and the Pacific region. In terms of laser technology research and development strength, the United States leads in laser medical and laser detection, while Germany has a clear advantage in laser material processing equipment, and Japan occupies the top position in optoelectronic technology.

Globally, well-known and large-scale laser companies include Germany's TRUMPF, Germany's ROFIN, America's IPG, America's Coherent, America's nLIGHT, and America's Spectra-Physics, among others. This means that the core technologies of the laser industry, from laser sources, components, materials, to application technologies, are controlled by a few developed countries.
In contrast, although China's laser industry started relatively late, it has developed very rapidly.
The Pearl River Delta has formed a market-oriented industrial cluster covering large, medium, and small power laser processing, while the Yangtze River Delta focuses on large power laser cutting and welding equipment. The Bohai Rim focuses on large power laser cladding and solid-state lasers, and Wuhan Optics Valley has formed a large, medium, and small laser industry area in Central China based on production, education, and research.
As domestic laser companies such as Raycus, Chuangxin, and SHINHOP continue to work hard to develop and improve product stability, domestic lasers can occupy a certain market share in the laser manufacturing field. With the price of foreign brand lasers decreasing, it is believed that this is just a matter of time.

At the same time, with the development of automation and new application technologies, the application of laser technology is beginning to expand into high-end fields, which aligns with the domestic policy and market for vigorously developing high-end intelligent equipment and AI artificial intelligence. In 2018, SHINHOP laser technology will focus on automation laser welding, cutting, marking, and cleaning technologies in areas such as mobile phones, automobiles, new energy vehicle batteries, home appliances, aviation, and artificial intelligence devices, contributing to the healthy and stable development of China's high-end manufacturing industry, improving the quality and grade of domestic products, and enhancing the country's influence and good international image.
