The latest research by the China Welding Association shows that the traditional welding industry is facing a severe intergenerational gap - the average age of the workforce is relatively old, and the proportion of the post-2000 generation engaged in related work is less than one tenth of the industry's total. Behind this phenomenon is the collective reflection of the younger generation on the traditional welding work mode: high-intensity physical exertion, undeniable health risks, and work methods that are disconnected from technological development, which have led many young people to draw a career choice list for welding positions.

In sharp contrast, the demand for precision welding processes in strategic emerging industries such as new energy vehicles and energy storage equipment continues to rise, forcing welding technology to innovate towards smarter and more humane directions.

01Traditional welding machines encounter cold:Why are post-2000s unwilling to take over?

High physical exertion

Traditional welding requires workers to carry heavy loads for long periods of time, and the physical load of daily work is comparable to the training intensity of professional athletes. This continuous physical exhaustion runs counter to the concept of sustainable career development pursued by contemporary young people.

High health threat

The harmful smoke and strong light pollution generated by welding operations have been listed as key occupational hazards. Relevant research shows that the incidence of respiratory diseases among employees is significantly higher than that of ordinary workers, and this irreversible health loss has become a key factor in discouraging young people.

High operational threshold

Traditional welding has strict requirements for operational qualifications, and welders need to pass multiple assessments to obtain special operation certificates. The training period is long and the pass rate of exams is low.

02Technological innovation breaks the ice:The occupational attractiveness of laser welding reconstruction

In the era of Industry 4.0, the pace of innovation in traditional welding processes has significantly lagged behind the demand for intelligent manufacturing. Therefore, young practitioners are more inclined to choose equipment that can be integrated with intelligent technology and has room for technological growth, rather than repetitive mechanical labor.

We are not afraid of hardship, but we hope for a healthy and more technically advanced working environment, "said post-2000 welder Xiao Li in an interview.

Many post-2000 professionals have expressed that work is not just a tool for making a living, but also a way to gain a sense of self-worth from it. As a welder, being able to weld beautiful seams is a very enjoyable thing.

Compared to traditional welding machines, the welding advantages of laser handheld welding are very prominent. This has also become an important consideration for post-2000s when making career choices.

Traditional welding:Uneven formation of welds, raised welds, and significant spatter residue require polishing.

Laser welding:Fast speed, beautiful weld seam, small welding deformation, no welding spatter residue, no need for polishing, low heat input, small workpiece deformation, no or only simple treatment is required to obtain a beautiful welding surface.

03Market validation:The golden track of counter trend growth

Despite the overall slowdown in investment in the manufacturing industry, the laser welding track has risen against the trend. According to the market research report on laser welding machines released by Bezos Consulting, the global market size of laser welding machines will reach 12.523 billion yuan (RMB) in 2022. Based on the global economic policy situation and market dynamics, the report predicts that the global market size of laser welding machines will reach 22.351 billion yuan by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 10.15%.

Many manufacturing companies have increased their investment in the field of laser welding, not only because of its efficient and high-quality welding advantages, but also because it can attract young talents to join.

When the post-00s generation in the welding workshop commonly operate extremely lightweight and efficient laser handheld welding, and can start welding in seconds as soon as they arrive at the workstation, this transformation has surpassed tool upgrading itself and become a two-way rush for technological iteration and talent upgrading. It marks the shift of manufacturing from "experience driven" to "intelligent driven", while the younger generation is redefining the spirit of craftsmanship with new technologies.

What kind of laser handheld welding can capture the hearts of post-2000 welders?

In the current situation where traditional welding machines are facing the dilemma of being rejected by the post-00s generation, the Guanghong Yueda S30 breaks the deadlock with revolutionary design, accurately addresses industry pain points, and becomes an intelligent equipment that "understands young people better" in the eyes of post-00s welders.

Lightweight Revolution, Unleashing Young Productivity

The S30 redefines the welding equipment standard with a 21kg ultra light body - weighing only as much as a bucket of drinking water, with a volume similar to a computer host, and can be lifted and transferred with one hand. Free welding operations from bulky constraints and navigate freely in complex scenarios such as workshops, construction sites, and high altitudes. Welders born in the 2000s no longer compromise their career choices for "physical anxiety". Lightweight design has made "sustainable career development" a reality from a slogan.

Intelligent minimalist UI, refactoring human-machine interaction logic

The 7-inch IPS large screen is equipped with a "zero threshold" intelligent system, simplifying the complex parameter debugging of traditional welding machines into intuitive operation of "two-step welding". 150 sets of intelligent preset modes bid farewell to the maze of multi-layered menus, allowing newcomers to quickly weld high-quality products in 5 minutes and become "master craftsmen" in seconds. 128 professional modes reserve space for technical advancement. In the era of Industry 4.0, young people reject "mechanical labor", and S30 transforms welders from "assembly line toolmen" to "intelligent device commanders".

Universal welding gun, redefining the boundaries of welding process

Our self-developed welding gun combines five functions of spot welding, continuous welding, cutting, rust removal, and cleaning with a 480g ultra light body. Coupled with the millisecond response of an intelligent driven wire feeder, it enables 00s welders to handle cutting-edge fields such as dissimilar metal welding and high reactivity material processing with ease. Leading technologies such as automatic anti sticking wire withdrawal and intelligent wire feeding feedback have greatly reduced the welding error rate, allowing young craftsmen to focus more on process innovation rather than repetitive error correction.

With outstanding advantages, the Guanghong Yueda S30 has effectively broken through the multiple challenges of physical fitness, health, and technology in traditional welding, overturning the "three major obstacles" of traditional welding machines.

When post-2000s welders hold Guanghong Yueda welding guns that are lighter than cola, they not only weld metal, but also redefine professional dignity - the breakthrough of manufacturing industry has never relied on "persuading young people to endure hardship", but using technology to transform "hard work" into "cool career". This is the true "welder philosophy" of the era of intelligent manufacturing.
