Finding skilled TIG welders is getting harder every year. Training takes months. Labour costs keep climbing. Handheld laser welding changes the math: 4x faster than TIG, training measured in days not months, and weld quality that does not depend on years of hand skill. The 2kW air-cooled unit weighs just 0.58kg in hand, lighter than most TIG torches.

One experienced fabricator with a laser welder can match the output of several TIG stations, freeing your skilled welders for the complex work that actually requires their expertise.

Laser welding produces a narrow, deep weld with minimal heat-affected zone. Less thermal distortion, less discolouration, virtually no spatter. Most laser welds require zero post-weld cleaning. Vantix 4-in-1 systems combine welding, cleaning, trimming, and seam cleaning in one platform.

  1. 1.5kW handheld: from $32,000 CAD — weld up to 6mm
  2. 2kW air-cooled: from $42,000 CAD — weld up to 8mm, no chiller needed
  3. 3kW platform: from $52,000 CAD — weld up to 10mm, higher duty cycle

TIG remains the right choice for exotic alloys like Inconel and titanium where laser parameters are not yet standard. Extremely tight access joints in complex assemblies may favour TIG's torch geometry. For one-off artistic or architectural work where the welder's eye and hand are the quality control, TIG has an aesthetic edge.

  • Materials: stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, galvanized
  • 4-in-1 capability: weld, clean, trim, and seam clean in one platform
  • Air-cooled option: zero infrastructure, maximum shop-floor flexibility
