PhotonWeld-A-PRO-T35 & T45: Welding and brazing vehicle bodywork made easy
The only fast, reliable, economical, affordable and ecological Laser Welding Machine for carbody workshops.
Whether you’re a hobbyist or seriously into auto-body work, having a good welder makes all the difference in finishing your cars quickly and to the highest quality.
There are plenty of welders to choose from, and everyone has their own opinion of what they like, so not every welder we have below will suit you. However, we have developped the VERY BEST welder for automotive work:
- VERY FAST : 5~7 times faster than TIG or MIG
- Without deformation: due to the very low and local heat input you do not get any deformation of the thin sheets
- No need for heavy Protection
- Very economical : reduce the electrical consumption with almost 70%
- Easy to use - simple to learn
- The only Ecological responsable Welding Machine
Whether you’re a MIG welder, a TIG welder, or want a machine you can do both with, werecommend you to check our affordable PhotonWeld-A800-bodywork.
Welding techniques in bodywork repair
Vehicles can only be repaired correctly if the right choice is made from the variety of new joining techniques for the modern materials and low sheet thicknesses which have been used in recent times to manufacture new vehicles.
Looking at the two main areas of bodywork repair, structural parts and outer skin, the welding machine being used needs to offer both MIG/MAG welding processes and MIG brazing, and must be capable of joining panels with a thickness range of 0.4mm to 4.0 mm. This dictates the use of a welding machine which fully meets these tasks for all areas, without time-consuming setup procedures. This you can find in our PhotonWeld-A-PRO-T40 portable Laser Welding Machine.
Laser welding application for car body repair has many advantages in the stiffness and the lightness of the vehicle.
Aluminum Welding
- Aluminum welding of outer skin parts - roof joint
- Aluminum welding of outer skin parts – tail gates
Brazing Steel
- Tight seams with smooth surface
- No or minimal rework
- Painting directly after joining
- No plastic cover necessary
Laser Welding in Car Restauration
Classic Cars restauration with Laser Welding and Laser Cleaning
The benefits of using Laser Welding over other more conventional means such as Tig, Mig and Electron Beam are as follows:-
- 1. No pre-heating of the part is required
- 2. Heat distortion is virtually zero, large areas can be built up without any concern of the part moving, the ability to weld without distortion saves time, and money spent on attempting to recover the part that has distorted therefore no extra machining cost or even the chance of having to scrap the part are involved.
- 3. The heat effected zone is very small which means the part being welded would not rise above 30°C and the structure of the base material remains the same. This allows any hardening treatment done to the part prior to welding will remain the same.
- 4. Parts can be welded either before or after hardening with the hardness value of the material being matched or coated with a harder wearing coating.
- 5. Very old and corroded parts can be welded, many historic parts that would normally be beyond normal Tig welding due to the porosity and corrosion can be brought back to life with laser welding.
- 6. Areas can be accessed that need welding which would be impossible with Tig.
- 7. A wide range of materials can be welded both ferrous and non ferrous such as
- Aluminium
- Brass
- Bronzes
- Carbon Steels
- Cast Iron
- Copper
- Inconnel
- Magnesium
- Stainless Steels
- Titanium ……. to name but a few.
There is so much we can do with Laser Welding it really is the repair of the future.
Car restoration is an art and a science
Non deformation welding keep your precious Car withing the correct tolerance.
Whether you’re rebuilding a muscle car from a scattered collection of old parts or you’re restoring an antique car that has all of its original parts but has been sitting and collecting dust for decades, it’s important to keep the spirit of the car in mind. When car restoration is your business, it’s just as important to make restoration choices that appeal to audiences and potential buyers. That’s why using auto restoration laser welding by PhotonWeld-A-Pro T45 Laser welding machine is all about preserving, protecting and keep it original.
The most important rule of restoring antique and exotic cars is to keep as much of the original as you can. Finding a car with all the original parts, and in pristine condition is nearly impossible. Even if you track one down, it will carry a hefty price tag. But if you’re in the market of restoring old cars, you don’t want well-preserved models in factory condition. You want the ones that can only be saved by an expert. Lasermach with it's PhotonWeld Laser Welding Machine for Car bodywork can help you to keep everything in the correct dimensions without deformation or weakening heat affected zones from electrical Welding.
