Live Demonstrations in the IPG Booth:
FlexCell: Dual-Purpose Arc/Laser Robotic Welding Systems
a highly configurable robotic welding platform designed to help manufacturers increase productivity, improve precision, and take the next step in their automation journey with confidence.
Available in both arc and laser welding configurations, FlexCell can be tailored to meet your specific production requirements today while providing a scalable path toward greater automation tomorrow.
Try It for Yourself: LightWELD® Handheld Laser Welding
IPG will be offering live hands-on system demonstrations for attendees at IMTS at their on-site laser-safe trailer where visitors will be able to try laser welding first-hand.
Handheld laser welding continues to experience widespread adoption across a wide variety of industries. LightWELD laser welding is easy to learn, produces excellent quality welds quickly and efficiently, and minimizes post-weld finishing work. LightWELD also features pre- and post-weld cleaning capabilities that save welders time and further enhance weld quality.

Handheld Laser Welding 2026: Tips for Successful Implementation and Avoiding Common Pitfalls
IMTS Conference PresentationThursday, September 17
2:15-3:10 PM
Room W192-B
It has been almost 6 years since the first truly functional and portable hand-operated laser welding system appeared on the market. Now, in 2026, the benefits of handheld laser welding are broadly accepted, but the path to successful implementation is not yet widely understood. This presentation leverages insights gained from working with the thousands of welders and fabricators that have already adopted manual laser welding to discuss how some achieved immediate success and how others had to learn painful lessons before they could take full advantage of the technology. Topics include appointing an equipment champion, the importance of training, identifying “laser-friendly” applications, and understanding how laser welding fits in with traditional arc welding.
