What is a Handheld Laser Welding Machine?

A handheld laser welding machine is a portable, high-precision tool used for joining metals using a focused laser beam. Unlike traditional arc or TIG welding, this technology enables operators to weld intricate parts with minimal distortion, reduced heat-affected zones, and cleaner seams—all without the need for extensive operator training.

LaserChina, a trusted manufacturer with over 15 years in laser technologies, brings cutting-edge handheld laser welding solutions tailored to industries demanding speed, flexibility, and high weld quality.
