Adapter module for twin-wire operation on the hand-held laser welder

The innovative adapter enables manual laser welding machines to be upgraded to powerful twin-wire mode – without the need for complex conversions or additional control units. Connecting a second wire feeder opens up new application possibilities for automated or manual laser welding with increased deposition rates and process reliability.

Functionality

The adapter module is integrated between the hand-held laser welder and the two wire feeders. It synchronises the control of both wire feeders and integrates them seamlessly into the existing operating logic of the welding machine. The entire operation – start/stop, wire feed speed and process monitoring – is still carried out directly via the hand-held unit. No additional user interface is required.

Application benefits

The double wire mode significantly increases the deposition rate, resulting in shorter welding times and a higher material input. This is particularly advantageous for applications with larger joint volumes, wider gaps to be welded, multi-layer seams or materials that require high welding speeds. Double-wire operation also offers clear efficiency advantages in the field of repair and build-up welding.

Product features

– Use with our standard wire feeders
– Wire thicknesses from 0.8 – 1.6 mm possible
– Plug-and-play integration: simple installation and immediately ready for operation
– Synchronised control of both wire feeders via the handset
– Compact design, robust housing for industrial use
– Compatible with all our THEO hand-held laser welders

Hand-held laser welding offers advantages in many industries and areas of application, particularly in comparison to conventional processes (such as TIG welding)

Our solutions for hand-held laser welding are diverse and optimise Your production:

  • Versatile: Use for small components up to large constructions, suitable for prototypes as well as series production
  • Working range: up to 9 mm welding depth
  • Materials: aluminium, stainless steel & structural steel and other materials (copper, brass…) as well as various plastics
  • Speed & efficiency: up to four times faster than e.g. TIG
  • Optics: High-quality weld seams, no unsightly annealing colours
  • Result: reliable strength, hardly any warping, cracking or deformation of the components
  • Time saving: no need for time-consuming reworking (sanding, re-cleaning, polishing)
  • Flexibility: hard-to-reach areas on complex or small workpieces can be reached
  • Control: perfect precision through fine tuning of laser parameters such as pulse frequency, power and focus size
  • Environmentally friendly: no waste products, no release of chemicals or harmful vapours
