Introduction
In the dynamic landscape of industrial welding, Han’s Laser has introduced two models of mini water-cooled industrial handheld laser welding machines: WSH03T-CW (with a maximum stainless steel welding depth of 3mm) and WSH04T-CW (with a maximum stainless steel welding depth of 4mm). Both models are equipped with handheld laser welding heads and highly stable wire feeders. These systems are versatile, catering to the welding needs of materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloys, copper, galvanized sheets, and more. Capable of various welding forms, including butt welding, lap welding, stack welding, and corner welding, these machines find widespread applications in industries such as sheet metal processing, construction materials, home furnishings, kitchenware, and automotive manufacturing.
Welding Characteristics
The mini water-cooled industrial handheld laser welding machine from Han’s Laser boasts compact size, lightweight design, and robust welding capabilities. When combined with an automatic wire feeder, these machines achieve greater welding depth while maintaining a wider weld width. This is particularly advantageous for welding large-gap seams, enhancing welding strength and overall efficiency. With the distinctive feature of being small in size yet powerful in energy delivery, these machines are well-suited for welding thick materials in industries such as automotive, shipbuilding, and rail transportation.

Welding Advantages
Efficient and Stable Wire Feeding
The inclusion of wire feeding functionality enhances the welding process significantly. The oscillating beam welding, coupled with efficient wire feeding, notably improves welding quality. This feature is particularly effective for high-thickness plate welding, ensuring thorough and robust welds. The resulting weld seam is stable, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing.
Simple and Safe Operation
Equipped with a safety circuit, the handheld laser welder prevents inadvertent laser emission, ensuring a safer and simpler operation. The system demands minimal expertise from users, eliminating the need for specialized welding skills. With straightforward training, operators can quickly master the operation. The welding head employs a retractable dual protective lens structure, effectively preventing dust from entering the system.
Strong Expandability
The handheld laser welding machine offers robust expandability, supporting various process packages with storage and retrieval functions. Equipped with multiple angle nozzles, they cater to diverse welding needs for different products. Moreover, the machines can be seamlessly integrated with robotic systems, positioners, and rotary axes for automated welding applications.
Conclusion
Han’s Laser mini water-cooled industrial handheld laser welders, represented by the WSH03T-CW and WSH04T-CW models, stand out as exemplars of advanced welding technology. Their compact design, coupled with powerful welding capabilities and versatile applications, positions them as valuable assets in industries requiring precision and efficiency. The efficiency gains achieved through features like efficient and stable wire feeding, simple and safe operation, and strong expandability make these machines instrumental in addressing the evolving needs of modern industrial welding.
