Technical information

1.5 kW: Light Automotive Work

Ideal for thin-gauge automotive work and smaller repairs, including body panels, doors, wings, exhaust components and light brackets.

Welding capacity: Carbon steel and stainless steel up to 4 mm; aluminium and galvanized sheet up to 3 mm.

2 kW: General Workshop Work

Greater power for faster welding and thicker automotive components, including sills, floor sections, exhaust systems, mounting brackets and light chassis components.

Welding capacity: Carbon steel up to 5.5 mm; stainless steel up to 5 mm; aluminium and galvanized sheet up to 4 mm.

3 kW: Heavy-Duty Automotive Work

Maximum power for thicker materials, deeper weld penetration and demanding workloads, including chassis sections, subframes, reinforcement plates and commercial vehicle fabrication.

Welding capacity: Carbon steel and stainless steel up to 8 mm; aluminium and galvanized sheet up to 5 mm.

Important: Structural vehicle repairs must follow the vehicle manufacturer’s approved repair procedures.

Cleaning capability: Removes rust, oxide layers, paint and other surface coatings.

Spot Welding:
Spot welding can be achieved by adjusting the process parameters.

TITANIUM – welding and cutting

Maximum Welding Thickness for Titanium:

Laser Welder 1.5 kW: Up to 2 mm

Laser Welder 2kW: Up to 3 mm

Laser Welder 3kW: Up to 4 mm

TITANIUM Cutting: Only capable of simple cutting up to 2 mm thickness.

Note: Titanium welding is rarely performed. It is recommended to use Argon gas shielding and Titanium filler wire.

Working Distances: The distance the nozzle needs to be for:

Welding/Cutting Nozzle to Workpiece: Typically maintain a distance of 2-5 mm.

Cleaning Head (for oxide/paint removal): Maintain a distance of 120 mm to 500 mm from the surface.

Important Welding Gas Requirement

Use only pure argon or pure nitrogen as the shielding gas.
Do not use gas mixtures. Select the appropriate gas and flow rate for the material and application.
