Hanma HT · handheld fibre laser welder

Hanma HT welding parameters

The factory presets of the current controller for each model: these are the values the controller loads when you choose the metal and the thickness. Use them as starting values and fine-tune them on your own parts, because fit-up, shielding gas, travel speed and focus all change the result.

What the presets cover

Thickness range in the factory presets, per model and metal.

What the columns mean

  • Peak power (Power on the HT3000): the share of the laser’s rated power, in %.
  • PWM ratio (Duty cycle on the HT3000): the share of each pulse period the laser is on; 100 % means continuous output.
  • PWM frequency (Frequency on the HT3000): how many times per second the laser output is pulsed, in Hz.
  • Scan frequency (Wobble frequency on the HT3000): how fast the beam oscillates across the seam, in Hz.
  • Weld width: the width of the sweep, in mm.
  • Wire speed: how fast the filler wire is fed, in mm/s; 0 means the 0.5 mm sheet is welded without wire. The HT3000 presets have no wire speed.

Before you weld

  • Shielding gas: argon or nitrogen, 15–30 L/min.
  • Aluminium needs exact focus and clean edges.
  • For aluminium, use a copper contact tip one size larger than the wire: a 1.2 tip for 1.0 wire, a 1.6 tip for 1.2 wire.
  • You can save your own parameter groups: 9 on the HT1500 and HT2000, 6 on the HT3000.
