Handheld laser welding & repair
For large weldments, repairs and parts that won’t fit in a fixture, our handheld fiber laser welder brings the beam to the part. You get the narrow, clean bead and low distortion of laser welding, without the size limits of a work table.
Built for the jobs a fixture can’t hold
The handheld welder is ideal when the part is too large, too heavy or too oddly shaped for the precision station, or when a repair has to be made where the damage is.
Large weldments
Frames, enclosures, housings and assemblies too big for a work table.
Repairs & rework
Worn tooling, molds, cracked parts and damaged components repaired where the damage is.
Odd shapes & access
Corners, inside edges and seams at angles that are hard to reach with a fixed head.
Fit-up & tacking
Tack, fit and seam an assembly in one setup, without moving it between stations.
One-offs & prototypes
No fixture to design or build, so single parts and short runs move faster.
Common metals
Aluminum, stainless and carbon steel assemblies, including thin sheet.
The handheld welder at work
Cleaner than conventional hand welding
Compared with TIG or MIG hand welding, a laser concentrates the heat in a much smaller spot. That means less warping, less discoloration and a narrower bead that often needs little or no grinding.
- Narrow, clean beads with little rework
- Low heat input, so less distortion on thin parts
- Fast travel speeds on long seams
- Welds close to finished or heat-sensitive areas
