DenaliWeld Laser Welders & Cleaners

DenaliWeld machines are assembled in Elgin, Illinois, by an employee-owned company that designs its own fiber laser sources, control systems and water chillers. Every Jet and CR model carries SGS and CE certification and a 3-year parts and labor warranty, which stays fully valid when you buy from an authorized distributor like The Maker's Chest. DenaliWeld keeps parts and consumables stocked at its U.S. facility, so a replacement lens, nozzle or module ships domestically instead of from overseas.

Start with your thickest regular weld and your shop's power. The air-cooled Jet 2000 is rated for 1/4" stainless and aluminum and runs on 220V single-phase at 35A, while the Jet 3000 handles 3/8" but requires 480V three-phase service. The water-cooled CR 4000 adds 4,000W, a dual wire feeder and an included transformer for production shifts. In practice, your electrical service often decides before wattage does, so confirm it before you order.

Yes. Most air-cooled handheld welders stop around 1,500W, but DenaliWeld's Jet 3000 reaches 3,000W using 976nm pump diodes that DenaliWeld rates at about 45% power-transfer efficiency, compared with under 20% for older 915nm pumps. Less waste heat lets the cabinet hold a 100% duty cycle without an external chiller from 14°F to 104°F. That means no coolant changes or freeze protection, and the welder can sit in an unheated bay overnight.

Choose by the part, not the wattage. A continuous-wave laser cleaner like the 2,000W DenaliWeld Jet 2000 strips heavy rust, paint and mill scale from structural steel fastest, but it puts more heat into the workpiece. A pulsed MOPA cleaner like the 300W Jet MOPA fires short, high-peak pulses that remove the coating without warping or discoloring the base material, which makes it the right tool for molds, thin sheet, aluminum and non-metals. Both run on 220V single-phase power.
