Starship Aluminium Laser Welding Machine Ring Beam Zero Spatter For Metal Plates

The Starship aluminium laser welding machine is built around a ring beam laser design that splits output power into an adjustable core beam and a surrounding ring beam. The core delivers penetration, the ring stabilises the keyhole and melt pool, and the two are balanced electronically for each material. For aluminium, copper and other high reflectivity metals, this removes the unstable coupling that causes spatter, porosity and inconsistent penetration in conventional single-beam welding.

Ring beam optics replace the fixed Gaussian spot with a core-ring energy distribution that can be tuned continuously. Operators select a recipe, and the control system sets the core-to-ring ratio for the material and thickness in use.

• Adjustable core and ring ratio for aluminium, copper, steel, titanium and dissimilar pairs
• Stable keyhole on high reflectivity metals, even at low welding speeds
• Wider process window, so gap and fit-up variation is tolerated without burn-through
• Clean weld bead with a smooth transition and minimal post-weld dressing

Because the ring beam keeps the melt pool stable, material is not ejected during welding. Customers running aluminium sheet and battery components report spatter-free seams, fewer rejects and significantly less rework, while welding speed is roughly twice that of a standard single-beam process at comparable quality. Lower rework and higher throughput move directly into unit cost.

The machine runs on Hanwei self-developed laser control software and hardware, not a third-party controller. That means full access to the beam parameters, real-time process monitoring, weld recipe storage and traceability, plus a control interface that can be integrated with robot, gantry and rotary table automation. Firmware and process library updates come from Hanwei directly.

Shenzhen Hanwei Laser Equipment Co., Ltd. has designed and manufactured laser welding systems since 2016, serving more than 2000 customers in automotive, new energy, electronics and general metal fabrication, with exports accounting for 20 to 30 percent of annual sales.
