How do I choose the right model for me?

We generally recommend selecting a LITE-S Series model based on the material and thickness you need to weld:

  • Aluminum: 1–2 mm → LITE S30 | 2–3 mm → LITE S40
  • Stainless Steel: 1–3 mm → LITE S30 | 3–4 mm → LITE S40
  • Galvanized Steel: 1–2 mm → LITE S30 | 2–3 mm → LITE S40
  • Carbon Steel: 1–3 mm → LITE S30 | 3–4 mm → LITE S40

Note: These are general recommendations. For precise guidance, please contact our service team.

What are the differences between the Master Series, Lite S Series, and STR-HW Series?

The Master Series delivers flagship performance with high power and stability for heavy-duty, thick plate welding. The Lite S Series offers lightweight, zero-barrier operation and portable design, making welding simple anytime, anywhere. The STR-HW Series is our classic, reliable line with balanced performance and broad applications, the trusted choice for general manufacturing and sheet metal processing.

Is the LITE-S Series really that easy to learn?

Yes. Compared with MIG and TIG welding—which both require a long learning curve—the LITE-S Series is quick to master. New users can achieve high-quality welds in just a few hours. Unlike traditional machines, it offers a true zero-barrier experience: simple operation, tool-like usability, and the freedom to weld anytime, anywhere.

Is Laser Cleaning Safe for Users and Eco-Friendly?

Laser cleaning is a green process that eliminates the need for chemicals and abrasive materials. Operators must always use suitable laser safety glasses when working with lasers above Class I. With these safety measures, laser cleaning offers an effective and environmentally responsible method.

Does Laser Cleaning Damage the Base Material?

When correctly applied, laser cleaning preserves the integrity of the underlying material. For delicate surfaces like thin metals or heat-sensitive components, using a finishing-grade laser system ensures safe, precise cleaning without causing harm.

Is Laser Cleaning Effective for Removing Heavy Rust or Thick Paint?

Yes, laser cleaning can handle heavy rust or thick paint layers. For tougher buildup, combining a high-power continuous laser with a low-power pulsed laser enhances removal efficiency. This approach ensures deeper penetration while maintaining surface integrity, making it suitable for demanding industrial cleaning tasks.

What Contaminants Can Laser Cleaning Effectively Remove?

Laser cleaning effectively removes a wide variety of surface impurities, including rust, grease, paint layers, oxides, powder coat, epoxy, rubber residues, carbon buildup, radioactive dust, electrolytic materials, anti-corrosion films, and other unwanted coatings. It’s a precise and efficient solution for industrial surface preparation.

How Laser Cleaning Works?

Laser cleaning uses fiber laser ablation to remove rust, paint, oil, and other surface contaminants. Infrared light is generated in an optical fiber and transmitted to the scanhead via a fiber cable. Inside the scanhead, single or dual beam technology shapes the laser pattern. The focused beam vaporizes unwanted material without damaging the base surface. This non-contact, eco-friendly method is widely used in industries like automotive and aerospace. Compared to traditional cleaning, it offers higher precision, minimal waste, and no need for chemicals or abrasives.

What Is Laser Cleaning?

Laser cleaning is a non-contact, precise method to remove rust, dust, dirt, and oxidation from various surfaces. It uses concentrated light energy to eliminate contaminants without harming the base material. Unlike traditional methods, it produces no chemical waste, making it eco-friendly. This technique can clean complex shapes and targeted areas with high accuracy, leaving surrounding surfaces untouched. It is a safe, clean, and efficient solution widely used for surface preparation across multiple industries.
