3.0 kW Fiber Laser System
The APLW50030 utilizes a 3.0 kW fiber laser source designed for demanding welding applications requiring increased power and production capability.
The concentrated laser beam provides precise energy delivery and controlled heat input, helping produce strong, clean welds while minimizing unnecessary heat transfer to surrounding material.
The system is designed for applications involving:
-
Carbon Steel
-
Stainless Steel
-
Aluminum
Other compatible alloys based on material thickness, joint configuration, and process parameters
100% Duty Cycle Refrigerated Cooling
An industrial refrigerated chiller provides dedicated cooling for both the fiber laser source and handheld welding gun.
The system is designed for a 100% duty cycle under specified operating conditions, allowing extended production operation while maintaining controlled component temperatures.
Continuous monitoring of coolant temperatures helps protect critical components while maintaining stable operating conditions.
Dual Wire Feed System Standard
The APLW50030 includes an integrated dual-wire feeding system as standard equipment, providing greater flexibility and productivity for production welding applications.
The machine also maintains standard single-wire feeding capability, allowing the operator to select the configuration best suited to the application.

Dual-wire system included as standard
-
Standard single-wire feeding capability
-
Up to 33 lb. wire spools
-
Adjustable wire feed speed
-
Continuous wire feeding
-
Adjustable pulsed wire feeding
-
Traditional fish-scale weld appearance
-
Optional additional wire-feeding systems available
The dual-wire configuration provides additional flexibility for applications requiring increased deposition rates or specialized welding procedures.
24 Programmable Weld Presets
The APLW50030 features an expanded 24-program memory system, allowing operators to store and quickly recall frequently used welding procedures.
Presets can be configured for different:
-
Materials
-
Material thicknesses
-
Joint configurations
-
Wire sizes
-
Weld profiles
-
Production requirements
The expanded memory capacity makes the APLW50030 particularly well suited for shops producing a variety of components throughout the workday.
Advanced HMI Process Control
The industrial touchscreen HMI provides direct control of the welding process.
-
Operators can adjust:
-
Laser power
-
Beam width
-
Oscillation speed
-
Duty cycle
-
Laser frequency
-
Wire feed speed
-
Continuous or pulse wire feeding
-
Weld procedure parameters
The combination of adjustable laser and wire-feed parameters allows operators to fine-tune the welding process for different materials and joint configurations
Adjustable Handheld Welding Gun
The ergonomic handheld welding gun provides flexibility for a wide range of welding applications.
-
Adjustable focal length
-
Adjustable beam width
-
Adjustable oscillation pattern
-
Modular optical design
-
Designed for fusion and wire-fed welding
Welding Performance
The concentrated energy of fiber laser welding provides precise and controlled heat input. Depending on the material, thickness, joint configuration, and selected process parameters, this can help reduce:
-
Heat distortion
-
Warping
-
Burn-through
-
Excessive weld buildup
-
Grinding
-
Polishing
-
Other post-weld finishing operations
The result is a clean, controlled weld with the potential to reduce secondary processing and improve overall fabrication efficiency.
Three-Phase Power
The APLW50030 is designed for three-phase electrical service to support its 3.0 kW production configuration.
An optional transformer is available to accommodate most common three-phase electrical systems, providing additional installation flexibility for facilities with different available voltages.
Advanced Safety Monitoring
Multiple monitoring systems are integrated into the APLW50030 to help protect the operator, laser source, welding gun, and welding process.
Ohmic Contact Detection
Confirms contact between the welding head and workpiece before permitting laser operation.
Welding Gun Temperature Monitoring
Monitors welding gun temperature and disables laser operation if excessive temperature is detected.
Laser Source Temperature Monitoring
Monitors the laser source to help ensure operation remains within its specified temperature range.
Chiller Temperature Monitoring
Monitors incoming and outgoing coolant temperatures to verify proper cooling conditions.
Shielding Gas Pressure Monitoring
Monitors incoming shielding gas pressure and helps prevent operation when pressure falls below the acceptable operating range.
Optional Production Expansion
The APLW50030 can be configured with additional optional wire-feeding equipment to further increase production flexibility and material deposition capability.
This modular approach allows manufacturers to expand the machine's capabilities as production requirements grow.
Included Laser Welding PPE
Every APLW50030 includes:
-
1 Laser Welding Helmet
-
2 Pairs of Laser Safety Glasses
The included laser-specific PPE provides operators with essential protective equipment to accompany the welding system.
PPE must be selected and used according to the laser wavelength, optical-density requirements, operating environment, and applicable safety procedures. Appropriate laser-area controls and protection for other personnel are also required.
