OverviewAqu Series self-cooling handheld laser welder delivers full-rated power without an external water-cooling loop. Designed for portable and on-site welding, the series supports continuous operation and multiple welding modes to meet a wide range of metal-joining needs.
Key Benefits- Full-rated power output across models to ensure consistent welding performance.
- Higher welding speed for thin sheets: up to ~2× faster than comparable MIG/TIG under similar conditions; 1 mm sheet speed up to 190 cm/min (in 1500 W class comparison).
- Intuitive knob interface for rapid operator setup and simple parameter changes.
- Reserved external control I/O for integration with automation and robotic systems.
- Multiple power levels enable deeper penetration and robust welds across materials and thicknesses.
Performance & Welding ModesSupports fish-scale (stitch) welding and spot welding with full power delivery to produce smooth, neat seams suitable for industrial finishing requirements.
Powers & Typical Maximum Penetration Depths- 1200 W — typical max penetration up to 4 mm
- 1500 W — typical max penetration up to 5 mm
- 2000 W — typical max penetration up to 6 mm
- 3000 W — typical max penetration up to 8 mm
Efficiency & Productivity- Overall welding efficiency improvement: approximately 20% versus prior-generation/water-cooled solutions in similar class (example site data).
- 1 mm sheet welding speed: up to 190 cm/min (1500 W class comparison).
- Reduced consumable costs (process changes such as gas selection can substantially lower shielding gas expenses).
- Lower labor and post-processing requirements: fewer grinding steps and reduced rework in many applications.
Cutting / Cleaning Capabilities- Maximum cutting thickness at full power: up to ~5 mm (depending on material).
- Maximum cleaning width: up to 120 mm for surface rust/paint/stain removal (professional cleaning options may extend this width).
Quality & CertificationWelded components demonstrated strong bend resistance, hardness and tensile properties in CNAS-referenced tests, meeting or exceeding market expectations for welded part performance.
System & ReliabilityEquipped with a self-developed dual-core control motherboard and engineered for stable 24/7 operation in demanding production environments.
Automation & IntegrationReserved external control I/O enables straightforward connection to automation devices, conveyors and robotic systems for semi- or fully-automated workflows.
Cost Efficiency- Example consumable savings: process adjustments (e.g., gas choice) can yield ~25% lower consumable costs (illustrative figures from site data).
- Example labor savings: faster welding cycles and reduced post-processing can decrease labor needs by up to ~50% in some applications.
- Faster qualification: some applications report welding-ready results after minimal setup (~0.5 h) without extensive additional certification.
Applicable IndustriesSuitable for kitchenware, sheet metal fabrication, stainless-steel products, air ducts, shelving, handicrafts, stair railings, computer cases, cabinets and furniture/appliance manufacturing.
