Hand held Laser welding

[Tom Orrow L]

I see it has a laser cleaning function as well which would be great.
I assume you use Nitrogen as the shielding gas for most things?

Argon for most laser welding applications

Tom, I'm actually talking semi seriously to a few people about laser welding now...
Application 1: 1mm to 1.6mm 304ss for food industry - probably ideal. I've forwarded your brochures to them.

Application 2: we have a structural 304ss job coming up with a whole load of modular folded 2mm outside corner and fillet welds, currently planning to TIG weld them. What's the ins and outs of getting a 15614 weld procedure with a semi automatic laser weld system? I'm hesitant to bring it up with my boss unless i know the full story.

The 1MM to 1.6MM 304SS would be a perfect application for the laser welding machine. Providing their prep work and fit up is decent

The strucutral application and weld procedure may pose somewhat of a challenge but I'm gonna give our WPQR guy a call this afternoon and see what his thoughts are. If you wanna send me over any further info you've got in DM's that'd be brill!

He was naughty and offensive to Mods.

Not quite, it was to the forum owner.
