4-in-1 Welding, Cleaning & Cutting System
One handheld platform can be configured for laser welding, weld-bead cleaning, broad-area surface cleaning and thin-sheet cutting. Each mode requires the correct nozzle, focusing lens, gas supply and stored parameters; the functions are selected and set up one at a time.
- Four process modes - Welding, weld-bead cleaning, broad-area cleaning and thin-sheet cutting from one configured platform.
- Process-ready control - Set scan width, power, frequency, duty cycle and gas timing, with alarms and workpiece-contact safety input.
- Configurable output - Choose 1500, 2000 or 3000 W according to material, joint design, production target and site power.
- Qualified operation - Confirm optics, gas, extraction, guarding and process settings through sample tests before production.

Handheld Laser Welding
Use continuous or spot mode with adjustable scan width for compatible sheet-metal joints. Stable fit-up, correct focus, shielding gas, filler-wire selection and a qualified recipe are still required; trained operators must inspect the result against the drawing or welding procedure.
Weld-Bead & Surface Cleaning
Change to the specified cleaning lens and select the matching software mode before cleaning. A compatible SUP23T configuration can provide a cleaning path up to 120 mm, depending on focal length. Identify coatings first and capture laser-generated fumes at the source.
Thin-Sheet Laser Cutting
Install the cutting nozzle, center the pilot beam and use the specified nitrogen supply. Controller guidance recommends cutting sheet below 2 mm; actual capacity and edge quality depend on laser power, alloy, gas pressure, focus and sample approval.
Process Capability for Common Metals and Joints
Available 1500, 2000 and 3000 W systems support steels, aluminum and selected copper alloys when joint access, fit-up, shielding gas and heat input are qualified. Published thickness figures are application references, not universal guarantees.

Handheld Laser Welding Compared with TIG and MIG
| Selection factor | Handheld fiber laser welding | TIG / MIG welding |
| Best fit | Repeatable seams on compatible sheet-metal parts | Broad fabrication, repair and varied joint conditions |
| Process modes | Continuous or spot laser welding with scan control | Continuous or pulsed arc, depending on process and power source |
| Material range | Qualified steels, aluminum and selected copper alloys | Wide range with the correct process, filler and procedure |
| Thickness and fit-up | Best with controlled fit-up; power and joint design set the range | Often more tolerant of gaps and heavier sections |
| Heat input | Can be lower for a qualified high-speed process | Varies by TIG/MIG procedure and travel speed |
| Travel speed | Often faster on repeatable thin-sheet seams | Application-dependent; TIG is commonly slower than MIG |
| Post-weld finishing | May be reduced when fit-up and parameters are controlled | Depends on spatter, bead profile and acceptance criteria |
| Operator requirements | Trained laser operator and qualified procedure | Trained welder and qualified TIG/MIG procedure |
| Safety controls | Class 4 laser controlled area, beam barriers, interlocks, wavelength-rated PPE and fume extraction | Arc-rated PPE, screens, ventilation, electrical and fire controls |
| Consumables and maintenance | Shielding gas, filler wire as needed, nozzles and protective lenses | Shielding gas, wire/electrodes, torch parts and contact tips |
| Selection basis | Choose after sample welds, inspection and acceptance testing | Choose by alloy, thickness, joint access, code and production target |

4-in-1 Laser System FAQ
What materials and thicknesses can the system weld?
Typical applications include stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum and selected copper alloys. Reference guides show increasing capacity with 1500, 2000 and 3000 W, but final thickness depends on alloy, joint design, fit-up, filler, focus, gas and acceptance testing.
Which shielding and assist gases are required?
Argon is commonly used for welding, while nitrogen may be suitable for some qualified procedures. Cutting normally uses clean, dry nitrogen at the pressure specified for the nozzle and material. Gas purity, flow and regulator selection must match the signed configuration and procedure.
What causes low penetration, porosity or an uneven bead?
Check joint fit-up, surface contamination, focus, scan width, travel speed, power, gas coverage, filler-wire delivery and the protective lens. Porosity can result from moisture, oil, coatings, poor shielding or an unstable keyhole; correct the cause and requalify the recipe.
Which laser power options are available?
Standard configurations are 1500, 2000 and 3000 W. Select power only after reviewing material, maximum qualified thickness, duty cycle, electrical service, cooling and production target.
What safety controls are required?
This is an open-beam Class 4 laser process. Establish a laser controlled area with beam-resistant barriers, access control and interlocks; appoint or consult a qualified laser safety responsible person; use 1080 nm-rated eye and skin protection, a laser welding helmet, fire controls and local fume extraction. Workpiece-contact protection is an additional safeguard, not a substitute for the controlled area.
