As a global leader in fibre laser source manufacturing, Maxphotonics ensures superior quality and performance by developing all key components of the MA1 Series Laser Welding System in-house.

The MA1 Series is unique in the market as the only handheld laser welding system employing a 20µm fibre core. This innovative feature, enabled by our proprietary technology, delivers a high energy density spot size. The 20µm fibre core focuses energy into a smaller area, resulting in faster throughput speeds at the same power level. This technology facilitates deep weld penetration, achieving depths of up to 6.5mm at 1500W, enhancing the MA1 Series’ versatility and expanding its range of applications.

Exceptional Performance Across Diverse Materials

The MA1 Series is a versatile tool, enabling high-speed welding across a variety of materials, including Stainless Steel, Galvanised Steel, Mild Steel, Aluminium, Nickel Alloys, and Titanium, up to a thickness of 6.5mm. Its low heat input minimises part distortion, preserving material integrity. The system produces strong, aesthetically pleasing welding seams requiring no additional cleaning, saving time and enhancing the finished product’s appearance.

With built-in factory presets optimised for various materials and thicknesses, the MA1 Series ensures efficient and high-quality welding on every use.

Innovative Torch Design

The MA1 features the industry’s lightest welding torch, weighing just 680g (1.5 pounds), designed for extended use with minimal fatigue. The torch is equipped with a built-in wobble function, controlled by the laser system, enabling a weld width of up to 4.0mm (0.16"). This ensures smooth, high-quality weld seams. For added safety, the torch incorporates a dual-secured contact sensor, allowing operation only when the trigger is in hand contact and the torch is in contact with the workpiece.

Intuitive Operation and Accessibility

Despite its advanced features, the MA1 is remarkably easy to learn and operate. It includes a user-friendly 7″ LED touchscreen interface and an intelligent operating system supporting multiple languages, simplifying the welding process like never before.

The system bridges the gap between experienced and novice welders, eliminating the need for costly training programmes. Seasoned professionals and beginners alike can achieve consistent, high-quality welds, saving both time and resources.

Energy Efficiency Redefined

The MA1 Series not only delivers outstanding performance but also reduces energy consumption by up to 80% compared to traditional welding technologies. Leveraging single-mode technology, the system increases energy density, enabling high-speed welding without excessive power demands. This energy efficiency translates into significant cost savings, making the MA1 Series a smart investment for improving operational efficiency and reducing overheads.

What Do I Need to Know About Laser Welding and Cleaning?

Laser welding and cleaning are sophisticated, high-precision technologies that deliver exceptional results in various applications. However, these technologies come with inherent risks that must be carefully managed to ensure the safety of operators and surrounding personnel. The primary hazards associated with laser operations include exposure to laser radiation, intense heat, and harmful fumes, which can result in serious injuries, such as eye damage, burns, and respiratory issues. To minimise these risks, it is essential to implement strict safety protocols and use the appropriate protective equipment.

Key Safety Measures:

• Protective Equipment: Always wear certified laser helmets, goggles, and other protective eyewear specifically designed for the wavelength and power of the laser being used. Inadequate eye protection can lead to permanent eye damage. To find the correct protective gear, please visit Laser Helmets and Eye Protection.
• Laser Enclosures: Laser welding and cleaning operations should be conducted in controlled environments, such as laser enclosures or cabins. These enclosures provide essential protection by containing laser beams and ensuring the safety of both operators and others nearby. For more information, see Laser Welding Enclosures.
• Laser Safety Advice: It is crucial for everyone involved in laser operations to undergo comprehensive laser safety training. This training covers potential risks and outlines safety measures to prevent accidents. For expert laser safety advice, refer to Laser Safety Advice.
• Laser Awareness Training: All personnel should be familiar with the fundamentals of laser safety by enrolling in Laser Awareness Training. This course covers important topics, including the physics of lasers, potential hazards, and appropriate safety protocols.
• Laser Safety Officer Training: For organisations using high-powered lasers (Class 3B, 3R, or 4 lasers), appointing a Laser Safety Officer is mandatory. This role ensures that laser equipment is operated safely. Laser Safety Officer Training provides the knowledge and skills required to manage laser safety effectively.
• Laser Welders and Cleaners: Whether using laser welders for precise welding or laser cleaners for surface preparation, it is vital to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and adhere to established safety standards. For more information, explore Laser Welders and Equipment and Laser Cleaners.

Conclusion:

By strictly adhering to proper safety protocols and using the correct protective equipment, the risks associated with laser welding and cleaning can be greatly reduced. Always ensure that both you and the work environment are adequately protected to handle the demands of laser operations.
