Published LightWELD capability
IPG also publishes copper and titanium capability for the 1500 XR and 2000 XR, which makes the line useful for reflective/specialty-material research.
Why this lineup belongs in our database
Most generic “laser welder thickness charts” collapse wattage into one answer. LightWELD demonstrates why model-specific tables are better: IPG gives different capability by material series, not just a single maximum.
Buying considerations
LightWELD is quote-led rather than a simple DTC checkout in many cases. Compare distributor support, training, safety configuration and total installed cost alongside the technical capability.
