IPG LightWELD 1500 - Handheld Fiber Laser Welder

IPG LightWELD 1500 – Revolutionise Your Welding

Looking to increase productivity and deliver top?quality welds? Meet the IPG LightWELD 1500 handheld laser welding and cleaning system. This U.S.?made machine harnesses advanced fiber?laser technology used in automotive and aerospace applications and packages it in an easy?to?use, air?cooled unit.

Why choose LightWELD 1500?
• High?powered performance – The LightWELD 1500 delivers up to 1.5 kW of average laser power and 2.5 kW peak
output . This extended?range power allows you to weld mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum up to 4mm and nickel
or titanium up to 2mm . It’s ideal for fabricators who need deeper penetration without distortion.
• Integrated welding and cleaning – A simple nozzle change lets you switch from welding to cleaning in seconds. Pre?
and post?weld cleaning removes rust, oil and scale, producing exceptional visual finishes without grinding or
chemicals .
• Faster than traditional welding – LightWELD technology is up to four times faster than TIG welding and eliminates the
need for bevelled joints or extensive grinding . The result? Lower labour costs and higher throughput.
• Smart presets and full control – The unit stores dozens of preset welding and cleaning programs that are optimised
for different materials and thicknesses . You can also customise parameters and save your own modes. Front?panel
rotary knobs adjust laser power, wobble width and frequency on?the?fly .
• Advanced wobble welding – The integrated wobble head scans up to 15 mm at frequencies up to 300 Hz . This
widens the weld seam to fill gaps, join dissimilar thicknesses and deliver smooth, attractive seams .
• Precision handheld gun – The ergonomic torch delivers a 150 µm spot with a 120 mm focal length, includes an on?axis
red guide beam and offers two?position trigger control and a touch safety sensor . Interchangeable nozzles and
integrated gas delivery optimise welds for different joint types .
• Easy setup, portable design – The 40 kg (approx.) base unit houses the laser generator, controller and 10 m fiber
delivery cable. Simply plug into a standard 220 V power supply, connect gas and clamp, and you’re ready to weld . Air
cooling means no chiller and no consumable water.
• Safety built in – Multi?level interlocks, a key switch, emergency stop, and part?contact sensor prevent accidental firing .
Included OD?6 laser safety glasses and welding helmet keep operators protected.
