MAX PHOTONICS MA165 HANDHELD LASER WELDING MACHINE COMPLETE WITH WIRE FEEDER
A handheld 1500W laser welding machine, made by laser welding leaders, Max Photonics, the MA1-65 is the largest in their range. The bigger brother of the MA1-35 and 45, the 65 is suitable for welding up to 6.5mm thick metals, perfect for high production welding applications. Laser welding is up to 4 times faster than traditional welding techniques and is a game changer in the world of welding. The process of using laser is not only faster, but can improve weld aesthetics and is incredibly easy to use.
A wire feeder, feeds wire of 0.6 – 1.2mm along a guide tube and introduces it to the laser beam to introduce filler material, much like a MIG welder or a TIG cold wire feed. The machine takes 5 or 15KG spools of wire.
The resulting welds created with laser are high strength as well as neat, with minimal post weld clean up. The heat affected zone from laser welding is generally smaller than using traditional methods too, so can increase weld strength. The lower temperatures achieved minimise warping in thinner materials.
Supplied with power source, 5.6m laser welding torch and wire feeder

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Lightweight and small in size, these fibre laser welding machines weigh just 38KG and is encased in a compact robust casing.
The laser torch is lightweight and compact in size and has been ergonomically designed for comfort. The torch has been proven as the most comfortable, stable and easy to use laser welding torch of its kind. With safety in mind, the design of the torch is such that it can be used continuously throughout the day.
SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE
- Embedded with 32 pre set modes for various materials
- A further 32 bespoke parameter settings can also be savedl.
- So easy to use, that training can be given to a beginner within 30 minutes.
- Advanced operators can set their own laser welding parameters for different material types and thicknesses and save jobs for later recall.
- Beginners in laser welding can make use of the pre set parameters to achieve the same high quality, consistent and neat welding seams
- Synergic set up allows the user to input joint configuration, material type and plate thickness and the machine will set itself.
- Full control of external wire feed system
- Fish scale welding mode – gives that stacking dime effect, much like TIG welding
- Switch between CW (Continuous wave), pulse, and shooting modes
- A 7 inch touch screen is both easy to read and navigate.
- Pre set modes include wobble parameters, suitable for wider welding seams and high tolerance for workpiece assembly fit up
- What are wobble parameters? The “wobble” of the laser effectively increases the beam diameter. The movement of the beam creates a larger area which in turn increases the width of the weld.
WARRANTY
Supported by Wilkinson Star in the UK, Max Photonics laser welders come with a 2 year warranty on the power source and 12 months on the laser torch. Such is their confidence in these machines, in the unlikely event of a breakdown that cannot be fixed in a timely manner, a loan machine will be left on site to ensure downtime is kept at an absolute minimum.
