Engineering Process Comparison: Traditional vs. ACTCNC Laser

Why global sheet metal fabricators and maintenance workshops are retiring chemical tanks and TIG welders:

Process Dimension	Traditional TIG / MIG & Sandblasting	ACTCNC Fiber Laser Cleaning & 3-in-1 Welding
Welding Speed	150 – 300 mm/min (Requires skilled veteran welder)	600 – 1,800 mm/min (4x–6x faster, easy for novices)
Post-Weld Processing	Heavy grinding, flap discs, acid passivation required	Smooth aesthetic seam; zero post-grinding required
Thermal Distortion	High heat input causing severe sheet warping	Extremely narrow HAZ (Heat Affected Zone), minimal distortion
Environmental & Safety	Hazardous acid fumes, abrasive dust, toxic disposal	Clean optical process; no chemicals, zero consumables
Substrate Integrity	Mechanical damage and pitting from sandblasting	Zero damage to parent metal base (Pulse laser cleaning)
