Miller Electric Mfg. LLC, a leading manufacturer of welding equipment, announced the launch of its second handheld laser welder: the Miller® OptX™ 1kW handheld laser welder. With 1000 watts of power, this model offers many of the same capabilities as its OptX 2kW counterpart while still maintaining high performance and productivity gains.

The Miller handheld laser welding series is designed to address the growing demand for efficient and cost-effective welding solutions in manufacturing and fabrication environments that face workforce challenges or seek higher productivity. These welders are best suited for high-volume, low-mix operations that require precision welding applications, specifically those with precise fit-up where high productivity is needed but automation may be too costly.

Applicable industries include sheet metal, fabrication, manufacturing, aerospace and defense, transportation, and HVAC.

The OptX 1kW makes it easy for operators of all skill levels to achieve precise and consistent welds.

Key features include:

• Advanced safety features: Game-changing technology with built-in features that exceed industry standards to ensure maximum operator safety. Virtual resources and an international support network make it simple to comply with industry safety requirements.
• High-precision welding capabilities: The laser welder's low, concentrated heat minimizes distortion and reduces spatter, as well as  pre- and post-weld processing, while ensuring high-quality welds on a range of metals, including steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, Inconel, titanium, brass, and copper.
  
• User-friendly application: Reduces the learning curve for both new and seasoned welders, increasing output and productivity by up to 10 times compared to traditional welding processes.
