FAQ for ipg lightweld 1500
Can lightweld 1500 handheld laser welding machine?
If you need to buy hand-held laser welding machine, we suggest you choose TIPTOP hand held fiber laser welding machine, we will give you a most satisfactory price. The size of Lightweld 1500 machine determines that it can only weld in a short time, and can only weld thin spot plates. Our TIPTOP 1500 laser welding machine can work for 1-6mm
What is the lightweld?
Lightweld brings all the components together in a box the size of a handheld welding laser. Lighweld breaks away from traditional laser welders and makes the body reach an astounding 53kg. This small size both has advantage and disadvantage, the goods in lightweld 1500 is that with this small size, the worker can carry and move easily, but the disadvantage of the lightweld 1500 is that, in this small size, the laser welder must use the air cooling chiller, this will bring the long-term work time problems, so compared with lightweld 1500, we would more suggest you to choose our TIPTOP 1500 model laser welder, this model laser welding machine is a bit bigger than light weld 1500, but besides the similar specification, we choose to use the water chiller cooling method, make the work time keep long time.
Does the lightweld 1500 have a warranty on its fittings?
Only the fittings (copper nozzles for welding) were replaced during this period, which was not indicated by lightweld 1500 or the specific warranty time. As the name suggests, the only thing lightweld 1500 can compare to a hand-held laser welder is its body size. Because it can do the same thing with a hand-held laser welder.
