Weld.com Demo & Review
Watch Paul Sableski from Weld.com demonstrate the features, capabilities, and just how easy LightWELD is to set up and operate at “lightning speed.” Paul uses LightWELD to quickly create:
- 3 mm Aluminum Butt Weld
- Stainless Steel T-Joint, 6 mm to 1 mm
- Stainless Steel Lap Joint with wire feeder
Less Heat & Distortion for More Productivity & Flexibility
TIG Welding
TIG welding is a time-consuming, two-handed welding method that requires an experienced, highly-skilled operator. TIG welding may generate extreme heat that deforms thin materials, produces poor visual finishes, is difficult when welding copper, and limited when welding metals of dissimilar thicknesses.
MIG Welding
MIG welding requires consumable wire, material pre-cleaning and beveled joints for thick metals for full penetration. Travel and work angles are limited and vertical positions are extremely challenging.
LightWELD
LightWELD enables dramatically faster welding, is easier to learn and operate, and provides higher-quality, consistent results across a wider range of materials and thicknesses than MIG or TIG with minimal distortion, deformation, undercut or burn-through.
Factory Presets Ensure Optimized Welds & Cleaning
- Simple preset selection ensures consistent high-quality laser welds and cleaning
- Presets include wobble welding function to accommodate wider seams and for parts with poor fit-up
- Operators can instantly switch between presets to process multiple material-thickness combinations
- Advanced operators can customize presets, save for future use and can be used by novice operators to produce the same results
- Novice operators require less training which reduces labor costs while preserving quality, increasing productivity, and decreasing scrap
“In my 41 years in the business, I have never seen a welder that allows beginners to make welds like seasoned pros!”

Operator Safety Features
- Key switch control to secure system from unauthorized operation
- Emergency stop button for immediate shut down
- Safety interlock verifies integrity of laser delivery to the welding gun
- 2-step weld torch trigger, enable and then fire, for intentional operation
