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.
