OptX 1kW Handheld Laser Welder Enables Precise, Low-Spatter Welds

May 7, 2025
Miller Electric’s OptX 1kW handheld laser welder features advanced safety systems and simplifies training for all operator experience levels.

The OptX 1kW handheld laser welder is a 1000 W laser welding tool built for precision welding in high-volume, low-mix manufacturing and fabrication operations. Designed to support applications where automation is too costly but high productivity is essential, this handheld model offers many of the capabilities of a 2 kW system in a lower-powered format.

The OptX 1kW allows operators of all skill levels to produce consistent, high-quality welds while reducing the need for pre and post-weld processing. Its low, concentrated heat input minimizes distortion and reduces spatter across a wide range of metals. These include steel, stainless steel, galvanized materials, Inconel, titanium, brass, copper, mild steel, and dissimilar metals such as stainless steel to copper.

A simplified user interface reduces the learning curve, and built-in safety technology exceeds industry requirements. Virtual support resources and a global support network assist operators in maintaining compliance with safety standards.
