Laser welding uses a highly focused beam of light to fuse metals with exceptional precision. Unlike MIG, TIG, or stick welding, which use an electrical arc, WeldX forms a clean, deep weld pool with minimal heat distortion.

Laser welding has long been used in demanding industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices. WeldX brings this proven technology into a compact handheld format that can weld, cut, and clean — giving fabricators more capability in a single tool.

Yes. WeldX is designed with ease of use in mind. With up to 50 built-in welding presets and the ability to store custom settings, even first-time operators can produce professional-quality welds on day one. While it’s easier to learn than MIG or TIG, success still depends on understanding joint prep, fit-up, and when to adjust parameters for different materials.

WeldX is safe when proper precautions are followed:

• Protective clothing: The same gloves, boots, and jackets used for arc welding work well.
• Eye & face protection: Always wear OD 6+ laser-rated eyewear and/or a helmet designed for 1070 nm lasers.
• Controlled area: Use welding curtains, booths, or enclosures to protect bystanders.
• Ventilation: WeldX produces fewer fumes than arc welding, but proper fume extraction or respirators are still recommended.

It depends on the job. WeldX outperforms MIG and TIG in many areas:

• Faster welding speeds (up to 10X)
• Cleaner seams with less distortion
• Stronger joints with deeper penetration
• Minimal post-weld cleanup

WeldX can weld stainless, carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, brass, and even copper. For very thick plate beyond ~1/2”, other processes may be more suitable.

Yes. WeldX is engineered for portability and can run reliably in shop or field conditions, with an operating range of –20°C to 60°C. Always follow proper laser safety precautions when welding outside controlled shop environments.

WeldX’s small-core fiber optics produce one of the smallest spot sizes in the industry. This creates narrow, deep seams with high strength and less distortion. Wider seams and gap-filling can be achieved using WeldX’s wobble welding and precision wire feeder.

WeldX welds are exceptionally strong because the laser penetrates deeply while minimizing porosity and distortion. The result is joints with higher tensile strength and cleaner appearance than most arc welds.

Yes. WeldX includes a precision wire feeder with anti-bounce and anti-plasma technology, allowing smooth feeding in any position. Both single and dual wire setups are supported.

Can WeldX be used out of position?

Absolutely. WeldX is well-suited for vertical, overhead, and other challenging positions thanks to reduced spatter, a smaller weld pool, and the lightweight 390 g ergonomic torch.

WeldX comes in multiple power levels (1500 W, 2000 W, 3000 W), each suited to different material thicknesses and joint types. Higher power provides faster travel speed and deeper penetration.

Wobble welding moves the laser in a controlled oscillation, widening the seam and improving gap-bridging. WeldX allows operators to adjust wobble width and frequency for maximum control.

Yes. WeldX supports spot, pulse, and continuous modes. Pulsed mode is ideal for thin or heat-sensitive materials, giving excellent results without burn-through.

Yes. Unlike many handheld welders, WeldX has a built-in cutting function, making it a true all-in-one fabrication tool.

WeldX is designed for industrial duty, with fully enclosed optics to protect against dust and debris. Its rugged build and wide operating temperature range make it reliable in shop or field use.

Thanks to its Tru-Cool™ refrigerant cooling system, WeldX can run continuously, shift after shift, without overheating. Unlike Air Cooled laser welders common in the market that deteriorate rapidly as the core laser temperature increases the WeldX Tru-Cool keeps the laser stable and precise.  

Yes. WeldX includes integrated cleaning modes that prepare surfaces before welding and remove discoloration afterward. This saves time on prep and finishing.

WeldX can handle stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, brass, and copper — including dissimilar combinations.

Most operators can get started within hours thanks to WeldX’s intuitive presets and ergonomic torch. Formal training ensures best practices for safety and quality.

Depending on the model, WeldX supports wire diameters from 0.8 mm up to 2.5 mm.

WeldX ships with 30–50+ presets for common materials and thicknesses, and operators can add their own custom programs.

Unlike air- or water-cooled systems, WeldX uses Tru-Cool™ refrigerant cooling, keeping the system stable from –20°C to 60°C and allowing continuous operation.

Each system includes the power unit, ergonomic torch, armored cable, precision wire feeder, and starter consumables and a start up safety kit. Additional accessories and extended cable lengths are available. Vytek also offers comprehensive safety options to enhance the use and protect operators.

The WeldX handheld torch weighs only ~390 g, making it one of the lightest in the industry.

Routine maintenance is minimal thanks to WeldX’s enclosed optics, integrated design, and reduced consumable use.

Yes. The WeldX Bluetooth-enabled app allows operators to save and transfer custom weld settings between machines, ensuring consistent results across jobs. This makes it easy to personalize and optimize performance — your welder, your way.
