The Advantages of Laser Welding Over Arc Welding
There is no tool that can be used in such a diverse way as the laser. With it, fine weld spots with a diameter of 0,1 mm can be created very quickly, as well as deep weld seams of several meters long. With minimal deformation, very fine seam geometries with a large depth-to-width ratio can be created. Lasers weld materials with a high melting temperature, as well as others with high thermal conductivity. Thanks to their reduced fusing, and easily controllable short fusing time, they can even join materials that otherwise cannot be welded or can only be welded with difficulty. If necessary, additional materials can be used. Product designers and process engineers considering laser welding as an alternative to more conventional types of welding, such as MIG-MAG or/and TIG arc welding, will find each has its plusses and minuses. But for most applications laser welding is a cleaner, more precise, and more controlled method of welding and is especially much faster and better controllable.

Lasermach PhotonWeld Series Handheld Laser Welding Machines
PhotonWeld: The unstoppable killer of electric welding and argon arc welding
LasermachPhotonWeld Series Handheld Fiber Laser Welding Machine is a new type high-power, high-end continuous welding tool which adopts a high-quality fiber laser source to produce a fiber optic beam.
After transmission processing, the light is focused on the workpiece to achieve continuous welding. It avoids the thermal strain caused by high heat production and reduces drastic the post-processing jobs. It is high ecological and is environmentally friendly, pollution-free and greatly improving the joint strength and quality of welding.
Replacing the old thermal welding systems with a hand-held type fiber laser gun, not only facilitates the welding of molds, advertising characters, kitchen utensils, doors and windows, etc., but also makes laser welding possible in outdoor operations, which indicates that the traditional welding of electric welding, argon arc welding, etc. will be definitively be replaced by fiber laser welding.

DUE TO ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL IRRESPONSABILITY IF COMPARED TO OUR AIR COOLED SERIES, WE HAVE STOPPED THE FULL PRODUCTION OF WATERCOOLED LASER WELDING MACHINES
Due to the much higher energy consumption, lack of flexibility, the long heating-up time in the winter at start-up, the huge space requirements and the major big weight from the water cooled laser welding machines, we decided to stop the production of the water cooled laser welding machines. Our Air cooled laser welding machines with build in invertor driven heath pump outperform all the water cooled versions, which made it ecological and economical irresponsable to offer or sell still this old inefficient, space and energy eating devices. Although the purchase price of water-cooled laser welding machines is interesting, this investment is a very bad choice for our environment and your wallet.
Thank you for your understanding.
Our PhotonWeld fiber laser welder gives you back the POLE position!

SAFETY – WE TAKE IT VERY SERIOUS
You too have to take it VERY serious!
Laser radiation of infrared fibre lasers can cause serious and lasting damage to the human eye – so a handheld laser is not a toy. But simple precautions and our inherent safety design make this a safe solution that meets the requirements of globally active customers and their safety organizations.
The Ugly Truth About Laser Radiation Exposure To Your Eyes
In the time that it takes to blink an eye, laser radiation damage to the eye may have already occurred. Unprotected exposure of your eyes to lasers can result in the development of cataracts or even a corneal burn, which can result in vision loss.
If you are working with or around lasers, it is very important to understand the consequences of laser radiation exposure and the safety precautions you should take when working around them.

What Types of Material Can be Welded with our PhotonWeld laser welding machines?
What Metals can be Successfully Welded with Fiber Lasers?
Lasers can weld many different types of materials together. Stainless steel, titanium,nickel, aluminum, molybdenum, and Inconel are just a few of the metals that are
well-suited to laser welding. What is important to note, however, is that not all metal combinations are weldable.
Aluminum, for example, can be laser welded. However,only dissimilar grades of aluminum can be welded together due to a high probability of cracking.
This is one area where laser welding differs from conventional welding. In conventional welding, the metals don’t bond directly with one another, but rather with the filler material being used. This can be a major factor in determining whether or not a particular application lends itself to laser welding.
