The Glorystar AH-W Series Air-Cooled Handheld Laser Welder combines the speed, weld quality, and efficiency of fiber laser welding with the simplicity of an air-cooled design. Engineered for manufacturers, fabrication shops, and industrial users seeking a portable and easy-to-maintain welding solution, the AH-W Series delivers high-quality welds with minimal heat distortion, reduced post-processing, and simplified operation. Available in multiple power configurations, the AH-W Series provides an efficient alternative to traditional MIG and TIG welding for a wide range of metal fabrication applications.
The AH-W Series is Glorystar’s air-cooled handheld fiber laser welding platform. Unlike traditional water-cooled laser welders that require external chillers, coolant systems, and additional maintenance, the AH-W utilizes an integrated air-cooling system that simplifies installation, reduces maintenance requirements, and improves portability.
Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the AH-W Series combines welding performance, user-friendly controls, and compact machine design into a single system. The machine supports a variety of fabrication applications while helping manufacturers increase productivity, improve weld quality, and reduce operating costs. Select configurations also provide cleaning and surface preparation capabilities, further expanding shop versatility.

A: The Glorystar AH-W Series uses an integrated air-cooling system and does not require a separate water chiller, coolant tank, or associated plumbing. Benefits include:
This makes the AH-W Series well suited for manufacturers seeking a flexible handheld welding system without the additional requirements of a conventional water-cooling system.
A: The AH-W Series can weld a variety of metals commonly used in fabrication and manufacturing, including:
Material suitability and welding capability depend on the specific alloy, thickness, laser power, joint design, part fit-up, and required weld quality. Application testing may be recommended for reflective metals and specialized alloys.
A: The air-cooled design eliminates coolant replacement and other maintenance associated with a conventional water-cooling system. Routine maintenance may include:
Maintenance requirements depend on operating conditions and machine usage. Following the manufacturer’s recommended inspection and maintenance schedule will help support consistent performance and equipment life.
A: The AH-W Series features a touchscreen interface and stored process parameters designed to simplify machine setup and operation. These features can help new operators become productive more quickly than with many conventional welding processes.
Operators must still receive proper training in:
The amount of training required will depend on the operator’s experience and the complexity of the application.
A: The AH-W Series is well suited for thin- to medium-gauge applications requiring portability, controlled heat input, clean weld seams, and minimal post-weld finishing.
Common applications and industries include:
Its compact, air-cooled design is particularly useful in flexible production environments and applications where installing or maintaining a separate water-cooling system would be impractical.
