Herolaser Laser Welders, Cleaners and Cutters

Herolaser makes handheld and desktop fiber laser equipment across three categories: laser welders, laser cleaning machines, and fiber laser cutters, all built around fiber laser sources rather than the CO2 or diode lasers common in hobbyist wood/acrylic machines. Its most distinctive product is the T700, a 3-in-1 unit that switches between welding, cleaning, and cutting modes from a companion phone app on the same 700W air-cooled head. The through-line across the lineup is air-cooled, standard-power operation — no external chiller or three-phase circuit needed.

Yes — the Herolaser T700 is a single 700W fiber laser head that changes its beam delivery pattern by mode: a focused continuous beam for welding, an oscillating low-intensity pattern for surface cleaning, and a different focus setting for cutting, all switched through the companion app rather than swapping hardware. It runs on a standard 120V outlet with no external water chiller, which trades some sustained duty cycle versus a chilled industrial system for a setup that works like a shop tool. Mode-switching happens without touching the torch itself, just the settings.

Herolaser's handheld laser welders are built to be more forgiving than TIG or MIG for new welders, since the laser produces a narrower heat-affected zone and less warping on thin stainless, aluminum, and steel than a traditional arc process. That said, a laser welder still requires learning proper torch angle, travel speed, and joint prep — it removes some of the skill ceiling around arc control, not all of the learning curve. Less heat distortion, not zero learning curve, is the realistic expectation for a first-time buyer.

It depends on the job and material thickness: lighter cleaning and thin-gauge welding are well served by 100W–700W units, while heavier corrosion removal, thicker steel cutting, or higher-volume production work call for the 1500W–2000W tier. Herolaser's welders, cleaners, and cutters are each rated for their own material range, so wattage needs should be matched within the category (welder, cleaner, or cutter) rather than compared across categories. Buying for your heaviest regular job, not your average one, avoids under-sizing the machine.

No — the Herolaser lineup, including the T700, its standalone cleaning machines, and its fiber laser cutters, is designed to run air-cooled on standard 120V shop power rather than requiring an external water chiller or three-phase circuit. That's a deliberate tradeoff: air cooling caps sustained duty cycle lower than a chilled industrial system at the same wattage, which is why Herolaser targets makers, fabricators, and small shops doing project-based work rather than high-volume production lines. Standard power access is what makes these machines workshop-ready out of the box.
