ONE SYSTEM. THREE LASER CAPABILITIES.

     
 

Laser Welding

High speed, low heat input, and a small heat affected zone make laser welding thick, thin, reflective materials, and materials with dissimilar thicknesses easier for all skill levels.

 

LASER PRE-CLEANING

Pre-weld cleaning removes rust and other contaminants from materials and increases weld quality. This is much faster than manual cleaning and uses no chemicals or abrasives.

  

LASER POST-CLEANING

Post-weld cleaning removes heat discoloration and improves visual finishes without post-weld grinding.



Laser Welder Benefits

welding with laser welder PLZ-1

PLZ-1 is easier to learn and operate, and is 4X faster than TIG welding. The low heat input and extensive material and thickness capabilities increase productivity, repeatability, and improve weld quality for operators of all skill levels.
The handheld welding & cleaning torch is compact, ergonomic, and comfortable. Specially designed nozzle tips for welding and cleaning applications, plus built in wobble functionality enable operators to produce high quality welds consistently. Nozzle tips switch out quickly and easily to accommodate fusion welding, wire welding, and cleaning, further optimizing and increasing productivity.
