LightWELD XR extends the range of materials and thicknesses of previous models, enabling fabricators to benefitfrom a wide range of solutions. Pre-weld and post-weld cleaning functionality optimizes weld quality and productivity.
LightWELD systems are easy to learn and operate, 4X faster than TIG welding and produce high-quality, consistentresults for operators of all skill levels.
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 | Sheet metal up to 0.250” thick, copper, titanium, nickel alloys, metals with dissimilar thicknesses, ultra-thin parts, materials with low and high electrical conductivity |
Wobble Welding | Up to 5 mm of weld width - increases capability and creates highly aesthetic seams |
Operator Safety | Multi-level sensors and interlock safety features |

SAFETY FEATURES:
LightWELD XR is a Class IV laser system and routine precautions are required for the safe operation of the equipment.
BUILT-IN FEATURES INCLUDE:
- Key switch control of laser source and Emergency-stopbutton ensure deliberate operation
- Fiber laser interlock verifies integrity of laser deliveryto the welding and cleaning gun
- 2-step gun trigger, enable and then fire, forintentional operation
- Part contact electrical interlock turns off the laser powerif the gun is not in contact with the parts
Operators must wear all recommended personal protective equipment (PPE), including the IPG laser safety glassesand IPG helmet with shield provided with LightWELD XR, laser-resistant and heat resistant gloves, caps, leather apronand other laser-resistant and heat-resistant clothing.
CONTROL PANEL AND CONNECTIONS:
Laser power up to 1500 W for welding, and high-frequency pulsed cleaning up to 2500 W peak power 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.
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 workpiece clamp to your work surface and you are ready to go. An ethernet connection provides access to advanced parametersettings 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.
