Automated Laser Welding
Easily weld a variety of thick, thin, and dissimilar metals with minimal distortion and improved visual appearance.
LightWELD® Cobot System
Laser Welding & Cleaning with a Collaborative Robot
Automated Pre-Weld Cleaning
Skip manual cleaning and rapidly remove rust and other contaminants from materials to improve weld quality.
Automated Post-Weld Cleaning
Improve visual finishes and remove heat discoloration with no need for dirty and time-consuming post-weld grinding.
Swap Between Welding & Cleaning in Seconds
The LightWELD Cobot System welds and cleans from the same torch. Simply switch to your desired mode and change out the nozzle — no tools required.
