LightWELD XC handheld laser welding and cleaning system expands the welding capabilities of LightWELD withcleaning modes to quickly and easily remove oils, rust and coatings before welding, and removes debris anddiscoloration after welding. Exceptional visual appearance without the time and expense of abrasives or chemicals.
For welding, LightWELD XC enables dramatically faster welding and provides higher-quality, consistent results acrossa wider range of materials and thicknesses than MIG or TIG with minimal distortion, undercut or burn-through.
LightWELD Laser Welding and Cleaning | |
High Speed Welding | Up to 4X Faster than traditional methods - increased productivity for lower costs-per-part |
High Quality Results | Consistent welding of thick, thin and reflective metals without distortion, undercut or burn-through - minimal heat affected zone |
Easy to Use | Simple set up, easy to learn and operate for consistent high-quality welds and cleaning |
Exceptional Visual Finishes | Removes oils, rust and coatings before welding, and debris and discoloration after welding without the time and expense of abrasives or chemicals |
Enhanced Material Capability | Metals with dissimilar thicknesses, ultra-thin parts, copper welding, materials with low and high electrical conductivity |
Wobble Welding | Up to 5 mm of additional weld width - increases capability and creates highly aesthetic seams |
Operator Safety | Multi-level sensors and interlock safety features |

SAFETY FEATURES:
LightWELD XC is a Class IV laser system and routine precautions are required for the safe operation of the equipment.
BULIT-IN FEATURE INCLUDE:
- Key switch control of laser source and Emergency-stop button ensure deliberate operation
- Fiber laser interlock verifies integrity of laser delivery to the welding and cleaning gun
- 2-step gun trigger, enable and then fire, for intentional operation
- Part contact electrical interlock turns off the laser power if the gun is not in contact with the parts
Operators must wear all recommended personal protective equipment (PPE), including the IPG laser safety glasses
and IPG helmet with shield provided with LightWELD XC, laser-resistant and heat resistant gloves, caps, leather apron and other laser-resistant and heat-resistant clothing.
CONTROL PANEL AND CONNECTIONS:
Laser power up to 1500 W is easily adjusted with intuitive controls to quickly dial in optimum weld settings for various materials and thicknesses. With 74 stored preset and user-defined process parameters, novice welders can be trained and welding in a matter of hours. Select stored modes provide up to 2500 W of high peak power for even greater welding and cleaning capability.
Clearly labeled rear connections make getting started fast and easy. Laser delivery, gas and gun control is pre-wired in a 5 m (optional 10 m) cable. Just plug in the power cord and gas connection, attach the clamp to your work surface and you are ready to go. An ethernet connection provides access to advanced parameter settings to fine tune and save process parameters.
HANDHELD GUN & NOZZLE TIPS:
The handheld welding & cleaning gun is compact, ergonomic and comfortable. Specially designed nozzle tips for welding and cleaning applications, plus built-in wobble functionality enables operators to produce high quality welds consistently. Nozzle tips switch out easily to accommodate fusion welding, wire welding and cleaning which further optimizes productivity.
