This guide explains how a fiber welder works, key specifications, advantages, and a simple buying guide to help you choose the right model.
How a Fiber Welder Works
The Working Principle of Fiber Laser Welding
A fiber welder generates a laser beam through fiber optics and focuses it onto the metal surface. The laser energy melts the metal edges, allowing them to fuse together and form a strong weld.
Step-by-Step Working Process
-
Laser Generation
The laser source produces intense light which travels through fiber cables. -
Beam Delivery
The laser beam is transmitted through a fiber optic cable to the welding head. -
Focusing the Beam
The welding head focuses the beam on a small, precise spot on the metal surface. -
Metal Fusion
The laser heats the metal, causing it to melt and bond with the adjacent surface. -
Cooling and Solidifying
Once the laser moves forward, the melted pool solidifies, creating a smooth and strong weld.
Supported Materials
-
Stainless steel
-
Aluminum
-
Mild steel
-
Carbon steel
-
Copper and alloys
Fiber welders support many metals, making them suitable for multiple industries.
Key Specifications to Consider
When choosing a LaserChina fiber welder, consider the following specifications:
Laser Power
Common power ratings include:
-
1000W
-
1500W
-
2000W
-
3000W
Higher power gives deeper and faster welding.
Welding Speed
-
Can reach up to 4x faster than traditional welding
-
Faster production and less labor required
Welding Thickness
-
Depends on power; for example:
-
1000W: up to 2.5 mm
-
1500W: up to 4 mm
-
2000W: up to 6 mm
-
3000W: up to 8 mm
-
Cooling System
Most fiber welders use a water-cooling system to maintain stable performance and avoid overheating.
Operating Mode
-
Continuous or pulse mode depending on the welding requirement
Advantages of Fiber Welders by LaserChina

Fiber welders provide cleaner, more accurate welding than MIG or TIG. You get minimal distortion, smooth finishing, and high strength welded joints.
Faster Welding Speed
Up to 4–10 times quicker than traditional welding, reducing production time and boosting output.
Low Maintenance
No frequent replacement of welding consumables, making it cost-efficient to operate.
Easy to Use
Even new operators can learn to use a LaserChina fiber welder quickly due to simple controls and user-friendly interface.
Energy Efficient
Consumes less power and offers high conversion efficiency, reducing operational costs.
Clean and Safe Process
Minimal sparks, low fumes, and reduced need for post-weld cleaning.
Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Fiber Welder
Before buying a fiber welder, consider the following points:
Identify Your Material and Thickness Needs
Select the power based on the metal thickness you want to weld. If you work with thicker steel or aluminum, choose 2000W or higher.
Check Production Volume
-
Low to medium volume: 1000W–1500W
-
Industrial heavy production: 2000W–3000W
Compare Welding Head Options
Choose adjustable welding heads for different joint types like butt weld, corner weld, or overlap weld.
Budget and Long-Term Value
Evaluate based on performance, power consumption, and durability. LaserChina offers reliable machines with long service life.
After-Sales Support
Look for training, spare parts availability, and technical assistance to ensure hassle-free operation.
Conclusion
Fiber welders have transformed metal joining with faster speed, precision, and cost efficiency. With the right power selection and features, a LaserChina fiber welder can significantly improve productivity and weld quality for your business. Whether you are expanding your workshop or upgrading to modern welding technology, a fiber laser welder is a smart and future-ready investment.
