So you're dealing with thin-gauge stainless or alumnum and heat distortion is killing your yield — this is basically what we built the HWF-1500C to handle without all the cleanup of traditional TIG.
It puts down about 5mm of penetration at full power, but that's really for matrial under 3.5mm before you start seeing quality drop-off, and the 1080nm wavelength means it couples well with most common alloys (usually 2-3 seconds per joint once you dial in the 10-160cm/min travel speed).

3. 1500 watts continuous or modulated, 10-meter fiber cable gives you room to move around a frame or a subassembly, and the focal length sits at 150mm — we keep the water cooling loop sealed so you don't have to baby it between shifts.
Most buyers go with the 5mm depth for automotive brackets or electronics enclosures, but it's actually not great for thick plate over 6mm — you'd want a higher power unit for that, just a fact.
Anyway, we usually have stock on teh 1500C, MOQ is one unit, and our company can ship with a spare nozzle set and the gas regulator if you need it (check lead time for custom fiber lengths).
We typically start at 1 unit for initial orders, though volume discounts kick in around 5 units. Just let us know your expected quantity and we'll adjust the pricing accordingly.
The unit is CE certified, and we can provide a certificate of compliance with your shipment. If you need additional documentation like a material test report or wiring diagram, just ask and we'll include it.
Yes, you can dial the power from 10% to 100% and set welding speed between 10 and 160 cm/min. For materials under 3.5mm thick, you'll have plenty of control to avoid burn-through or weak joints.
It's pretty low-maintenance—just check the coolant level monthly and swap it out every 6 months or so. Use distilled water with a bit of antifreeze if you're in a cold environment, and you're good.
Lead time is usually 15-20 working days after order confirmation. We ship it in a plywood crate with foam inserts to protect the laser head and fiber cable, so it arrives ready to run.
