LightWELD XR1000 - Handheld Fiber Laser Welding and Cleaning Fuction

IPG LightWELD 1000 – Handheld Fibre Laser Welding System
Efficient, Precision Laser Welding for Modern Workshops

The IPG LightWELD 1000 is a compact, air-cooled handheld laser welding machine that delivers up to 1 000 W of fibre laser power for high-quality welding on a wide range of metals. Engineered for production environments, repair shops, fabrication shops and light manufacturing, it offers fast welding speeds, low heat-affected zones and consistent results with minimal operator training.

Key Specifications

Laser output power: up to 1000 W continuous welding power (CW)

Peak pulsed power (HPP mode): up to ~1375 W

Material welding capability:
• Steel (mild/stainless/galvanised): up to ~4 mm
• Aluminium (3 & 5 series): up to ~4 mm
• Aluminium (6 series): up to ~4 mm (typical for sheet work)
• Titanium & nickel alloys: welding capability exists within thin material range (up to ~5 mm expected with higher-power models — LightWELD 1500/2000)
• Copper: capable on thin sections; typical handheld range ~<3 mm

Wobble welding width: up to 5 mm (wobble function supported)

Cleaning scan width (optional cleaning mode): up to 15 mm (~0.6?) with cleaning scan in cleaning-equipped variants

Handheld unit weight: approx ~50–60 kg total system weight (combined power/control unit + torch; unit weight varies by configuration — typical for this class)

Power supply: 200–240 V AC, single-phase industrial mains

Cooling: Air-cooled system (no external chiller required)

Machine Capabilities

Fast, High-Quality Welding
Delivers precision welds up to ~4 mm thick on steels and aluminium with significantly faster speeds than traditional arc welding, reducing production cycle times.

Versatile Material Support
Handles mild and stainless steels, galvanised steel and all common aluminium series materials — ideal for metal fabrication, repair and manufacturing tasks.

Minimal Heat-Affected Zone
Low heat input reduces distortion and eliminates much of the need for post-weld finishing.

Intuitive Operation
Factory presets streamline setup and help operators achieve repeatable results with minimal training.

Wobble Welding Support
Adjustable wobble welding provides improved seam control and tolerance to imperfect fit-up.

Cleaning Capability (Optional)
Integrated laser cleaning (pre- and post-weld) removes surface contaminants and oxidation without abrasives or chemicals (requires cleaning-equipped configuration).
