About Handheld Laser Welding

Handheld Laser Welding Systems

Diodela UK offers advanced laser welding systems with power ranges from 1000 to 6000 W, combining efficiency and precision for modern manufacturing applications. Delivering welding speeds significantly higher than traditional methods, the water-cooled technology ensures high-quality welds with minimal distortion and oxidation across metals such as stainless steel, copper and aluminium. Suitable for both handheld and robotic applications, these systems enable seamless integration into existing production processes, helping to improve efficiency while maintaining high standards of reliability and safety.

The machines are based on quasi-continuous wave diode and fibre laser technology developed by Lithuanian laser scientists exclusively for Diodela.

  • Expected laser welder lifetime > 90 000 hours.
  • All Diodela systems are provided with 24 months warranty and user trainings.
  • Automation Compatibility: can be integrated with robotic systems for automated processes via 2-channel logic.

About The Technology

Laser beam welding is an advanced industrial process used to join materials with strong and durable welds. By focusing a high-intensity beam of light onto a defined area, materials are melted together to form a permanent bond. While primarily used for metals, the process can also be applied to materials such as plastics and silicone.

High Efficiency

Laser welding is 5 times faster than MIG and 10 times faster than TIG welding methods. Handheld laser welding speed is 1-5 m/min., while robotic laser welding speed is up to 12 m/min.

Minimal Oxidation and Metal Distortion

Precise heat input ensures minimal thermal and physical distortion, often eliminating the need for additional post-processing.

High-strength Welds

Laser welding produces welds that boast both consistency and high strength. Laser welds can be monolithic without filler metal when the distance between materials to be welded is up to 100 um.

Why Diodela Systems

Through close collaboration with laser science centres and extensive expertise in photonics, Diodela UK delivers innovative and high-precision laser systems that meet a wide range of industrial requirements.
Manufactured in the European Union

Our systems comply with EN safety standards and are CE certified. High-quality industrial design, developed in Lithuania, ensures durability and reliable performance.

Water-Cooled

This feature enables continuous 24/7 operation without interruption.

Cost-Efficient

Diodela systems consume 40% less electricity than average MIG machines, for example, when welding 3mm stainless steel.

User-Friendly

With an integrated touchscreen interface, Diodela UK laser systems allow users to store welding parameters, ensuring consistent results and reducing setup time.

Extra Safety

Additional safety features are installed: door sensors, GPS and more.

Easy To Operate

Featuring a lightweight laser gun and integrated guidance systems, the equipment ensures comfortable and straightforward operation. It takes only 1-2 weeks to learn laser welding.
