Accessories & equipment for laser welding machines

Properly selected laser welding accessories reduce preparation time, improve weld repeatability and ease operator workload. The key products in this category include dual wire feeders and welding positioners/rotators, complemented by cable and gas handling systems.

Dual wire feeders
Allow you to work with two wires (e.g. different diameters or materials) without time-consuming changeovers. Important factors to consider:

• Compatibility with the welder – connectors, control signals, and power supply.
• Feed speed range and stability – smooth adjustment throughout the process window.
• Supported wire diameters and liners – match the material (e.g. different liners for aluminium and steel).
• Operating mode – for long cycles, repeatability and quick spool change are crucial.

Welding positioners / rotators
Keep the workpiece in a constant position and rotation speed, directly improving the uniformity of the weld bead. Pay attention to:

• Load capacity and torque – matched to the weight and centre of gravity of the workpiece.
• Mounting diameter/type – plate, chuck, or flange; compatible with your tooling.
• Speed control and range – stable low-speed rotation ensures better weld pool control.
• Control integration – convenient operation (e.g. foot control) and repeatable motion programs.

How to choose the right setup?

• If you frequently weld with filler wire – select a dual wire feeder with a feed rate range suitable for your parameters and liners matched to the material type.
• If you weld cylindrical or ring-shaped components or need precise positioning – choose a positioner with load capacity exceeding the workpiece weight (including fixture weight).
• For limited workspace – plan cable and gas routing to ensure unobstructed operator movement.
