Background
Stainless steel pipe installation (water supply, food-grade, chemical) requires on-site welding. Traditional TIG welding is slow, highly dependent on operator skill, and prone to porosity when ventilation is poor. The handheld laser welder is portable, and with a wobble head attachment, delivers single-pass full penetration.
Solution Specs
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Machine Model | Zhijie MJ-15-BFL handheld laser welder |
| Laser Source | 1500W fiber laser |
| Welding Head | Standard + optional Wobble Head |
| Wire Feeder | Standard auto wire feeder |
| Shielding Gas | Argon Ar (backside needs argon purge) |
| Welding Material | Stainless steel tube 304 / 316, 1.5 – 3.0mm |
| Fiber Length | 10m (standard), optional 15m / 20m |
Key Results
| Metric | Traditional TIG | Laser (wobble head) | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5mm Pipe Speed | ~ 80 mm/min | ≥ 250 mm/min | 3x faster |
| 3.0mm Pipe Penetration | Needs 2 passes | Single pass full penetration | 2x faster |
| Porosity Risk | High in poor ventilation | Extremely low (stable beam) | 99%+ UT pass rate |
| Portability | Heavy welder + gas bottles | 12kg handheld, 10m fiber | Fits in tight spaces |
Key Advantages
- Portable — handheld gun only 12kg, 10m fiber reaches any on-site location
- 220V power — works from a standard outlet, no 380V power needed
- Wobble head — beam oscillation widens the molten pool for single-pass 3mm pipe joints
Recommended Products
- 1500W Handheld Laser Welder — main model for pipe welding, full penetration on 1.5–3.0mm stainless steel
- 2000W Handheld Laser Welder — thicker pipes (3–5mm) or carbon steel pipe on-site welding
