THEO MA1-65 handheld laser welder
The powerhouse
The laser welder that makes you shine every day.
1500 W of single-mode fibre, full penetration up to 6.5 mm in stainless and a torch you master in a few hours. Built for workshops that do not shy away from heavy work.
Straight through thick stainless
Heavy work becomes a piece of cake.
14µmSpot size, all the power on one point
Work that normally went to the specialist is now part of the daily routine. Behind that depth sit 8 diode pumps on 24K gold-plated diodes, Swiss made. Concentrated laser power that takes on material where lighter machines give up.
More metres per day
Weld faster, more perfectly welded metres per day.
4–10×Faster than TIG
4 to 10× faster than TIG, and because the single-mode beam keeps the workpiece cool, the rework disappears too: less distortion, less discolouration, less grinding.
The torch
Welding without your arm giving up.
680gLight welding torch
Light enough that a full working day is no longer a fight. The torch stays agile in tight corners and on long seams, so the quality of your first weld is also your last of the day.
Cooling
No chiller, no fuss.
Air cooledReady for long runs
The MA1-65 is fully air cooled. Built-in fans keep the laser source and the housing at temperature, with no external chiller, no coolant and no extra peripherals. One compact machine you put down and let run.
6,5mmFull penetration in stainless
Why the MA1-65
Made for the workshop that sees heavier work come back more often.
Built to make heavy production work routine: deep penetration, repeatable quality and less dependence on scarce TIG hours. Below is what that comes down to in practice.
