Laser Cleaning

XC and XR LightWELD systems include integrated pre- and post-weld laser cleaning — the same handheld laser welder that welds also strips oxide, rust, paint and contaminants, with no chemicals, no wire brushes, and no separate equipment.

Clean Before You Weld. Clean After, Too.

Surface contamination — mill scale, rust, oil, oxide — is one of the biggest causes of weld defects. LightWELD's XC and XR models swap to a cleaning nozzle in seconds, letting operators prep the joint and clean up post-weld discolouration without leaving the machine or reaching for chemicals and wire brushes.

  • Cleaning width up to 15mm
  • No chemicals, no abrasives, no secondary equipment
  • Instant nozzle swap between welding and cleaning — no tools required
  • Laser brazing on galvanised steel can skip zinc removal entirely, cutting hazardous fume generation
