Portable handheld laser welding machines are innovative tools for precession welding in various industries. A handheld laser welding machine is a portable laser beam welder that couples a high thermal energy light beam into an optical fiber turns it into parallel light through a collimating lens, focuses on the weldable metal parts, and releases heat to join pieces of metal together.

A portable laser welder is an easy-to-move welding machine that works with a handheld laser welding gun to achieve the connection of metal joints indoors and outdoors, which is user-friendly and easy to use for both beginners and professionals.

It is flexible and convenient to achieve non-contact welding of those difficult-to-weld parts. The manual laser beam welder can realize the spectrum separation on time and energy, and create multi-beam welds at the same time, providing the conditions for highly precise welds compared with the traditional MIG & TIG welder, electric welder, and more arc welders.

Handheld Laser Welder Pros & Cons

☑ Featuring with power options of 1000 watts, 1500 watts, 2000 watts, 3000 watts for various penetration depths up to 8mm.

☑ Easy to move, flexible and convenient, enabling both indoor and outdoor welds.

☑ Fast welding speed, 2-10 times faster than traditional MMA, TIG and MIG welders.

☑ Straight and uniform welded seam, smooth and clean, deep penetration, small taper, no polishing required, save time and cost.

☑ Firm welded metal joints with no deformation and less scar.

☑ Less consumables, low energy consumption and long service life.

☑ User friendly, easy to use, safety, and environmentally friendly.

☑ Limited power compared to larger stationary laser welding systems.

☑ Operator skill is required to avoid weld defects.

☑ It can cost extra for ongoing servicing and maintenance.

How Much Does A Handheld Laser Welder Cost?

A portable handheld laser welder is not the cheapest option you will find in the market. While it offers greater accessibility and flexibility, it can cost you more than traditional stationary welding machines.

Based on the data from Google, Amazon, and STYLECNC the average cost of a handheld laser welding machine is around $6,180 depending on the power options. An entry-level 1000W handheld laser welder starts at around $4,600 for beginners and hobbyists at home. An affordable 1500W handheld laser welding machine ranges from $4,800 to $5,280 for a small, low-cost business.

A professional portable laser welder machine with a 2000W fiber laser welding gun can cost you anywhere from $6,800 to $7,280. An industrial portable laser welding machine with a 3000W fiber laser power option is priced as high as $9800 for commercial use. A multipurpose 3-in-1 portable handheld laser cleaning, welding, and cutting machine is budget-friendly and ranges from $4,700 to $6,800.
