Traditional Welding Methods Are
Time-Consuming and Difficult to Learn
TIG Welding
A time-consuming, two-handed method requiring an experienced, highly-skilled welder.
MIG welding
Requires a consumable wire, material pre-cleaning, and beveled joints for thick metals for full penetration.
With the LightWELD handheld welder, you can weld with more speed, ease, and precision than ever before. This versatile tool works wonders on a variety of materials and thicknesses, delivering flawless results with minimal distortion, deformation, undercutting, or burn-through. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to learn and master!

Unlock New Opportunities by Adding
Laser Welding to Your Operations
Eliminate the Issues Caused by TIG and MIG Welding
IPG’s LightWeld handheld laser is 4X faster than manual TIG welding and doesn’t have the same material and gauge limitations. Unlike MIG welding, the handheld laser welding machine is highly versatile and can easily accommodate a wide range of travel distances, angles, and vertical positions.
Use the LightWeld presets to get staff started on welding all types of materials and gauges.
What’s more, the handheld laser machine is portable, so your team can use it anywhere, even for workpieces that are large, difficult to move, and oddly shaped.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose a handheld laser welder?
Not all handheld laser welders are created equally. During your consultation with Cobot Systems, we’ll evaluate your specific welding needs, including the complexity, precision, and volume of the work your business typically does. We will also offer tips and tricks to ensure worker safety.
Are handheld laser welders any good?
Yes, handheld laser welders can be excellent tools, offering high precision, versatility, and minimal distortion. They can handle a range of materials and welding tasks, making them a good fit for many different welding applications.
Can laser welding be done by hand?
While many laser welding operations are automated for consistency and precision, handheld laser welding machines are great for increased manual control, which can may be required for complex or unique welding tasks, repairs, or when working on large or awkwardly-shaped pieces that may not fit into a standard automated laser welder.
Is laser welding as strong as MIG?
An increasing number of manufacturers and fab shops are switching from MIG and TIG welding to handheld laser welding because laser welding is faster and stronger than conventional methods and offers better penetration than MIG.
What are the issues with laser welding?
Since the laser welder is fast, keeping a steady weld path can be challenging. Integrating a handheld laser welding system with a cobot automates the process and ensures a steady weld path. Visit our Laser Welding Cobot System page for more information.
