LightWELD - Factory Presets Ensure Optimized Welds & Cleaning 

• Simple preset selection ensures consistent high-quality laser welds and cleaning
• Presets include wobble welding function to accommodate wider seams and for parts with poor fit-up
• Operators can instantly switch between presets to process multiple material-thickness combinations
• Advanced operators can customize presets, save for future use and can be used by novice operators to produce the same results
• Novice operators require less training which reduces labor costs while preserving quality, increasing productivity and decreasing scrap

LightWELD is Fast & Easy to Set Up

• Ergonomic, compact and proven to be the most comfortable and easy to use laser gun with built-in wobble welding functionality.
• 2-step trigger and part contact sensor enhance operator safety
• Purpose-built nozzle tips for various weld joint types and pre and post weld cleaning applications
• Quickly switch from standard laser welding to wire welding, and from laser welding to laser cleaning
• A single cable from the unit delivers laser power, gas and control connections to the gun

Fast and Easy Setup

• Key switch control to secure system from unauthorized operation
• Emergency-stop button for immediate shut down
• Safety interlock verifies integrity of laser delivery to the welding gun
• 2-step weld gun trigger, enable and then fire, for intentional operation
• Part contact electrical interlock turns off the laser power if the welding head is not in contact with the welded parts
• Door switch interlock circuits shut down laser if anyone other than operator unexpectedly enters the welding area

LightWELD Operator Safety Features

• Key switch control to secure system from unauthorized operation
• Emergency-stop button for immediate shut down
• Safety interlock verifies integrity of laser delivery to the welding gun
• 2-step weld gun trigger, enable and then fire, for intentional operation
• Part contact electrical interlock turns off the laser power if the welding head is not in contact with the welded parts
• Door switch interlock circuits shut down laser if anyone other than operator unexpectedly enters the welding area
