｜ parameters & process ｜

■ Q1: what is the power of this handheld laser welder?

IPG light hand-held laser welding machine is a continuous 1500 W air-cooled hand-held welding machine with HPP peak pulse function, and the maximum peak power can reach 2500 W.

■ Q2: how thick plate can be welded at most?

For stainless steel, galvanized sheet, carbon steel and aluminum, the thickness of single-sided welding can reach 4 mm and that of double-sided welding can reach 10 mm; For copper, the thickness of single-sided welding can be up to 1 mm and that of double-sided welding can be up to 2 mm.

■ Q3: how many modes can be stored on lightweld?

Lightweld can store a total of 74 modes

■ Q4: is it possible to weld copper, a high reaction material?

The welding capacity of red copper is 1mm, and the high peak power pulse of HPP is 2500 W, which can easily break through the melting threshold of the material.

■ Q5: during actual welding, there should be no clamping at the factory site, the gap is uneven, and the effect consistency will be the same?

Yes, there will be uneven gaps under site conditions, which will affect the consistency of welds. IPG handheld welding has swing function and supports wire filling welding, which makes up for the above working conditions and improves the bridging capacity.

■ Q6: how is the welding speed compared with MIG / TIG?

A: On average, it is 2 times faster than MIG welding and 4 times faster than TIG welding.

■ Q7: what is the cooling mode of IPG handheld welding machine? What are the advantages?

IPG handheld welding machine is an air-cooled laser. The biggest feature of air cooling is no condensation and no ice.

As we all know, in the environment of high temperature and high humidity in summer, as long as the water cooler works, the water temperature will be relatively low. As soon as the water temperature is low, water droplets will be generated in contact with the outside air and condensation will occur. 

In the environment of more than minus 20 degrees in winter, the water tank will freeze into ice instantly. The ice will cause the water pipe to burst and the water tank to expand and crack. Even adding antifreeze may cause damage to the internal pipeline.

IPG light hand-held laser welding machine adopts air-cooled mode, without the power consumption required by additional cooling water equipment. It removes the pipes, components, control and maintenance links of the chiller, reduces the cost, increases the portability and improves the overall reliability of the system.

■ Q8: there are many handheld laser welding machines on the market. What are the advantages of IPG compared with other brands?

As the industry leader of fiber laser, IPG relies on the strategy of vertical integration. The gun head, laser and fiber of handheld welding are independently produced by IPG to comprehensively control the product quality, so as to realize the quality and stability, which is always second to none in the industry.

Therefore, compared with the assembly type handheld welding machine on the market, IPG handheld welding machine has more advantages in compatibility, reliability and stability of host, gun head and control part. At the same time, if there is a problem with the equipment, our after-sales team can quickly diagnose, find the problem and carry out targeted maintenance, rather than checking which parts have the problem one by one, which greatly improves the efficiency of maintenance.

｜ Safety & maintenance ｜

■ Q9: laser welding safety is very important. How can IPG handheld welder make manual operation safer?

Lightweld has built-in multiple safety protection functions. The product design meets EU and international safety standards, and is equipped with laser protective mask and laser protective glasses.

■ Q10: can a hand-held laser welder use an ordinary mask? Do you still need to wear laser protective glasses?

Lightweld outputs 1070nm infrared laser, which belongs to invisible class IV laser equipment. It needs to be equipped with mask and laser protective glasses with laser protection function at the same time. During use, we recommend the operator to carry out whole-body protection.

■ Q11: what should be paid attention to in the daily maintenance of handheld laser welding?

For welded joints, we must observe whether the pollution of protective lenses is normal before welding. If the protective lens is very clean, of course, we can stay away and see if there is an obvious burning point in the red light. If there is a burning point, whether it is the protective lens, collimating lens or focusing lens, it will greatly affect the service effect and the service life of the welding joint. In addition, we can also check whether there is an alarm code before welding.

At last. Does this handheld welding have any disadvantages?

1. Air cooled hand-held welding, welding products for a long time, such as welding for 10 minutes, or welding products continuously for 20 minutes, will the temperature of the hand-held head rise?

2. The indoor temperature is low in winter, so it is OK to weld for a long time. In summer, when the indoor temperature is more than 30 ℃, can you continue to weld products for more than 20 minutes?

Look forward to Practice has proved that.

Water cooling handheld laser welding system produced by Howweld can work long time welding for products,because water cooling circulatory system enough for cool the laser head.
