THEO MA1 ULTRA handheld laser welder
The flagship
Maximum penetration. No compromise.
2000 W of single-mode fibre, full penetration up to 8.5 mm in stainless and a 100% duty cycle at full power. The top model for the heaviest seams and the thickest plate, handheld, up to 10× faster than TIG.
Straight through the thickest plate
Where others stop, the ULTRA keeps going.
14µmSpot size, all the power on one point
Work that until now went to the subcontractor now stays in-house: full penetration up to 8.5 mm in stainless, handheld. Behind that depth sit 8 diode pumps on 24K gold-plated diodes, Swiss made, 2000 W of concentrated laser power on a single needle-sharp point.
100% duty cycle
Full power. All day. Without stepping down.
100%Duty cycle at full power
A 100% duty cycle at full power means the ULTRA never cools down between seams. Up to 10× faster than TIG, and because the single-mode beam keeps the workpiece cool: less distortion, less discolouration, less grinding.
The torch
Maximum power. Minimum weight.
680gLight welding torch
The same lightest laser gun in the industry: 680 grams. Light enough that a full working day is no longer a fight, and agile enough that the quality of your first weld is also your last of the day, even on the heaviest seams.
Cooling
No chiller, no fuss.
Air cooledReady for long runs
Even at full power the ULTRA stays 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.
8,5mmFull penetration in stainless
Why the ULTRA
Made for the workshop where no seam may be too heavy.
