Why is it best to use a ring beam laser in energy storage module laser welding?

Why Toroidal Laser Welding Dominates Energy Storage Module Production

What is a Toroidal Laser Beam?

toroidal laser beam (annular laser) uses advanced optics to reshape a standard Gaussian beam into a hollow-ring energy distribution. Unlike conventional lasers that concentrate heat at the center, toroidal beams distribute energy uniformly along a ring periphery. This design stabilizes the welding keyhole and molten pool, minimizing defects like spatter—especially critical for high-reflectivity metals (copper, aluminum) common in battery modules.


Features of Toroidal Laser Welding

Spatter Suppression (>90% Reduction)

Concentric ring energy balances vapor pressure and melt flow, eliminating micro-spatter that contaminates battery cells and causes short circuits.Enhanced Penetration Consistency

Uniform heat distribution achieves ±0.03mm tolerance in copper/nickel joints, reducing porosity to <0.5% vs. 15% with Gaussian beams.

Adaptability to Reflective Materials

Outer-ring energy preheats surfaces to reduce reflectivity, while inner rings melt materials—boosting copper welding efficiency by 40% at identical power levels.

       High-Speed Automation Compatibility

Integrates with CCD vision systems and real-time focal monitoring, enabling ±0.02mm alignment accuracy at 2.5s/piece.
