Key Features

What Makes It Work

Piping & Structural — LightWELD 1500 XR

Wobble Welding — LightWELD 1500 XR

Wobble Welding

Oscillating beam up to 5mm wide bridges gaps in poor fit-up and improves bead profile on structural joints.

74 Preset Modes — LightWELD 1500 XR

74 Preset Modes

Engineer-developed presets for extended-range material and thickness combinations, ready to use from day one.

XR Model Comparison

1500 XR vs 2000 XR

Both are eXtended Range systems with integrated welding and cleaning. The key difference is power, penetration depth, and the materials you need to weld.
