I'm a master laser welder and welding engineer. What is the maximum average wattage available of this machine model?

[rofinbaasel]

Steve, the laser featured has 100W average power (120 Joules max. and 12 kW peak power) - it has a bigger brother called the Integral with 200W average and the same peak power.

I'm confused, on teh deposit welding I didn't see any material added. maybe i have a differnt definition of deposit weding?

[rofinbaasel]

Hi, thanks for your comment the material is fine wire (diameter 0.4mm) which is deposited by hand - you can see it in the last 10 seconds of the video.

@rofinbaasel lol, really? it seems that since its a laser it would hurt more if that happened.

i dont understand what this machine can do..

I think the narration is quite good. What seems to be missing?

what is the best way to avoid "chipping" during machining? turning or grinding. grade 420 ss. .015" wire

He is not using gloves at the beginning - they are actually "cuffs" which prevent stray laser light from being viewed by anyone outside the laser. When his hands are inside the laser they are not protected - however the laser beam is infra-red (so only danger is heat) - compared to a soldering iron or scalpel blade the laser is considerably "safer". I have hit myself with the laser on many occassions and the worst you can say is "ouch".

have to say its one of rofins better machines out there.
