The invention discloses a new method for welding plastics by a metal laser welding machine, which comprises the following steps of: a) controlling a special board card by adopting a computer to output a near infrared ray laser with a certain frequency and wavelength of between 800 and 1,064 nanometers; and b) clamping two plastic components to be welded, allowing the near infrared ray laser to transmit a first component in a mode of deviating from a focal point, absorbing the transmitted near infrared ray laser by a second component, converting the absorbed near infrared ray laser into heat energy, and melting a contact surface of the two components to form a welding area. By the method, precise, firm and sealing welding can be formed, resin degradation is less, generated fragments are fewer, surfaces of products are connected closely on the periphery of a welding line, high-speed welding can be realized only by low frequency, and the efficiency of the method is three times that of general plastic welding.
