Handheld Laser Welding Series Expanded

Miller Electric Mfg. LLC has launched its second handheld laser welder: the Miller OptX 1 kW handheld laser welder. With 1,000 watts of power, this model offers many of the same capabilities as its OptX 2kW counterpart while still maintaining high performance and productivity, the company reported.

These welders are best suited for high-volume, low-mix operations requiring precision welding applications-specifically those with precise fit-up where high productivity is needed but automation may be too costly. Common industries that this applies to include sheet metal, fabrication, manufacturing, aerospace and defense, transportation and HVAC.

This OptX 1kW is engineered to make it easy for operators of all skill levels to achieve precise and consistent welds. Key features include:

• High-precision welding capabilities: The laser welder's low, concentrated heat minimizes distortion effects and reduces spatter to reduce pre- and post-weld processing while offering high-quality welds on a range of metals, including: steel and stainless steel, galvanized, Inconel, titanium, brass, copper, mild steel and dissimilar metals (e.g., stainless steel to copper)
• User-friendly application: Reduces the learning curve for new and seasoned welders to drive output and productivity up to 10x compared to traditional welding processes, according to the company
• Advanced safety features: OptX 1 kW comes with built-in features that exceed industry standards and enhance operator safety. Virtual resources and an international support network make it easier to comply with industry safety requirements.
