G5-1500WC 1500W HANDHELD LASER WELDER

G5-1500WC is unbeatable value for industrial users. It welds aluminum faster than the big brand but at a large cost saving. Superior finish on thin stainless steel and steel, thanks to its double wobble system with 6 weaving patterns.

Drop down menus with material type and thickness allow fast selection of pre-sets.  ALL parameters are easily accessible and adjustable.

A powerful yet efficient heat pump chiller keeps the laser at the optimal 77 °F temperature and allows 100% duty cycle under continuous use up to 100 °F without risk of cutting out.  Our water cooling avoids the power degradation (permanent power loss) that air cooled welders experience when used at high temperatures and high power.

MAKE MONEY WHILE YOU WELD – 5 TIMES FASTER THAN TIG

We weld at around half an inch per second, and usually find TIG welding is much much slower.  Trials run on a customer’s 1.2mm stainless steel sheet metal product showed laser welding was SIX times as fast as their TIG welding.  We also had 1/4 the distortion due to much lower heat input, thanks to the narrower weld seam and much faster travel speed.

G5-1500WC uses the latest generation laser source for high electrical efficiency, reliability and stability. With 1.5kW of laser output this model uses the full size body and heat pump chiller for optimal cooling and operation in hot summers. Our handheld fiber laser welding machines weld as well as machines costing twice as much.

The standard head is our 5th generation “double wobble” welding head, which we believe is the best commercially available head.  Using the double pendulum galvanometer (two oscillating mirrors) it can trace up to six very useful patterns for welding, plus laser cutting mode (no beam movement).  This welding gun can operate as a single wobble head like the main competitors which can only scan left and right, but the addition of our second axis expands the operational envelope with five 2-dimensional patterns: including circle, oval, triangle, D and hourglass.  The pattern size can range from 0mm for laser cutting, up to 5mm diameter if required by your situation.  We believe this is the best commercially available head, and it has proven very reliable.

We include a useful range of welding tips to suit external, internal and butt joints, including wire feeder types. Spare protective lenses are also included. This fiber laser welder requires little practice to start using and welds very quickly. For anyone welding sheet metal, this machine can save you a lot of time and money in your welding production. 1500W of laser power allows fast welding with full penetration up to 3mm, or 4mm at a slower speed but still faster than TIG, while maintaining all the advantages of laser welding over TIG and MIG.

The overall dimensions of this industrial, water cooled laser welder are 42”x25”x37” with a weight of 330 lbs.

SAFETY NOTES

1.  Laser welders are Class IV lasers.  They can start fires and burn skin at close range but are also dangerous to the eyes for at least 100 metres, so special safety measures are required.  We provide guidance on safety, but because safety is so important our safety acknowledgement must be signed before shipping and using the laser welder.
2. You must purchase and use our safety glasses and laser welding helmet with this machine.  In any case these are the best value on the market, with high and known protection levels, so you should be using them anyway.
