Laser welding
What do the 4-in-1 laser machines actually do?
Quick answer
The 4-in-1 handheld laser machines combine welding, cutting, cleaning and (on some models) rust removal in one source: swap the handheld head, change parameters, and the same fiber source does all four. It's genuinely versatile — with consumable and optics costs that come with it.
The four modes
- Weld: the core mode — wire feed optional for gaps
- Cut: thin material only — plasma still owns thick cutting
- Clean: laser ablation of rust, paint, oxide — impressive on stainless
- Weld-clean combos: cleaning the seam path before welding
