Advantages of manual laser welding

Laser welding has many advantages compared with traditional welding:

  • Laser welding is much faster than standard TIG and MIG/MAG welding processes.
  • Almost no finishing is needed, so you save a lot of time.
  • You use much less filler metal.
  • The heat input is minimal, so you can easily produce high-quality welds without discolouration.

What are the advantages of laser welding compared to traditional welding?

Four times faster

Compared with traditional TIG or MIG welding, laser welding offers unmatched speed. With our THEO laser welding machines you can increase your productivity and complete projects up to four times faster. This means shorter lead times for your projects and a faster ROI on your investment in welding equipment.

Less finishing work

Thanks to the precision and control of laser welding, much less post-processing is needed. Save valuable time and resources with the excellent finish that laser welding gives. With less grinding or polishing, you can move on to the next project and increase your productivity even more.

Lower welding wire consumption

Our THEO laser welding machines minimise welding wire consumption, which results in significant long-term cost savings for your welding projects. Lower wire consumption means lower material costs and less time spent changing welding wire, which further improves your operational efficiency.

Minimal heat input

With laser welding, heat input is kept to a minimum. This produces high-quality welds without discolouration or distortion of the workpiece. Minimal heat input is especially useful for sensitive materials or thin sheets, where the risk of distortion is high. In addition, precise control of the heat input gives consistent results, even in complex welding work.

  • Thick filler metal for aluminium

  • Spatter

  • Weld preparation needed for penetration

What are the advantages of single-fibre handheld lasers?

Less heat

Compared with multi-fibre lasers, the THEO single-fibre handheld lasers offer lower heat input. This results in superior welds while keeping the integrity of the material. Precise control of the heat input minimises welding defects such as overheating or burn-through, which results in more durable and reliable welds.

Fewer reflections

A THEO single-fibre laser minimises reflections. This improves safety in the workplace and reduces the risk of accidents. Reflections can harm the operator, but they can also damage equipment and affect the quality of the weld. With our single-fibre handheld lasers you can work with confidence, knowing that your welding process is safe and efficient.

Deeper penetration

With our THEO single-fibre handheld lasers you benefit from deeper penetration, thanks to the accurate direction and focus on the workpiece. This gives precise and deep welds, even in the most demanding applications. Whether you work with thick materials or complex geometries, our handheld lasers deliver consistent results with maximum penetration and fusion.

Thinner filler metals

Thanks to the precision of the THEO single-fibre handheld lasers, you can use thinner filler metals. This means lower consumption and cost savings for your welding projects. Thinner filler metal lowers your material costs and also minimises heat input, which results in a cleaner and more efficient weld. This makes our handheld lasers ideal for fine and detailed welding work where precision is crucial.

Advantages of THEO laser welding machines

THEO laser welding machines are very compact, portable, handheld laser welding machines with air cooling. This is possible because the laser is very energy-efficient and generates much less heat than conventional welding machines.

Easy to use 

Thanks to the large, clear touch screen, THEO laser welding machines are very easy to set up. Choose the parameters and start welding!

Fast welding

THEO laser welding machines weld up to 4 times faster than traditional TIG welding!

High weld quality and uniformity

A perfect weld, a deep weld pool and high weld quality thanks to THEO laser welding machines

Less finishing work

Less grinding and cleaning after welding thanks to the focused single-fibre laser.
