3mm Stainless Steel Fiber Laser Welding Machines

With 1.5–3kW water-cooled QLTEK laser welders, you can effectively weld stainless steel and mild steel up to approximately 3mm in a single pass. Higher power settings allow for deeper penetration. For thicker materials, multi-pass techniques or higher power configurations may be required. Contact Cutting Edge Plasma for a configuration recommendation specific to your material and application.

Water-cooled laser welders (1.5–3kW) use an industrial cooling system for high-duty-cycle production environments, while air-cooled models (0.9–1.2kW) feature a compact design suited for portable or lower-volume applications. Water-cooled systems offer higher power and sustained performance, while air-cooled units are easier to move and set up in smaller shops.

Fiber laser welding is typically 4–6x faster than TIG welding for production welds. The focused beam requires less pre- and post-weld cleanup, produces less distortion, and minimizes rework. In high-volume production environments, a single laser welder can often replace two to three TIG welders, significantly reducing labor costs and cycle time.

Yes. QLTEK laser welders are Class 4 laser products, requiring operators to wear laser safety glasses and follow shop safety controls per OSHA and ANSI Z136.1 standards. Cutting Edge Plasma provides operator training and safety guidance as part of every machine purchase to ensure a compliant and safe working environment.
