FAQs

1. How do I choose the right handheld laser welding machine for thick plates?

To choose the right handheld laser welding machine for thick plates, focus on laser power, plate thickness range, cooling method, and wire feeding system. For materials above 6 mm, a 3000–4000W high-power machine is recommended. Air-cooled systems suit flexible and cost-sensitive applications, while water-cooled systems are better for long-duty industrial welding. Matching the machine to your material type and production intensity is critical for stable results.

2. Single wire, dual wire, or multi-wire feeding: which should I choose?

Single wire feeding is suitable for standard joints and general thick plate welding.

Dual or multi-wire feeding is recommended when wider weld seams, higher filling volume, or reinforced weld buildup is required. For thick plates, dual or triple wire feeding improves weld fullness, strength, and appearance, especially for gap-bridging or build-up welding applications.

3. What is the complete usage process for a thick plate handheld laser welding machine?

A typical workflow includes parameter setting → material preparation → wire feeding adjustment → welding execution → weld inspection. Operators only need basic training thanks to the intuitive touchscreen interface. Compared with traditional welding, laser welding requires less preheating, produces minimal spatter, and significantly reduces post-weld grinding.

4. What materials can a thick plate handheld laser welding machine weld?

Thick plate handheld laser welding machines can weld stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and various alloys. With proper power selection and shielding, they are suitable for both thin sheets and thick plates up to 10–12 mm, depending on material type and joint design.

5. What laser welding methods are supported?

Handheld laser welding supports multiple methods, including butt welding, fillet welding, lap welding, corner welding, and build-up welding. High-power systems also enable single-side welding with double-side forming, making them ideal for structural and load-bearing applications.

6. How long is the warranty for the handheld laser welding machine?

Kempson handheld laser welding machines come with a 3-year warranty on the complete system. In addition, we provide free sample welding tests, remote technical support, and lifetime after-sales service, supported by service networks in 22+ countries worldwide.
