In manufacturing, efficiency is everything. And at FactorySmart, we believe that the right technology can unlock significant gains for your production line, team, and bottom line.
One such technology that’s proving itself across industries is fiber laser welding. It’s fast, clean, and accurate – giving manufacturers a smarter way to join metals without the drawbacks of traditional methods.
Let’s take a look at how one business improved their productivity, reduced waste, and increased customer satisfaction – all by choosing the right solution at the right time.
Real results from a growing business
Peters Metals, a custom metal fabricator in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, added a fiber laser welding machine to their factory floor. Their decision was driven by the need to improve the neatness of their fine sheet metal jobs and expand their manufacturing capabilities.
Here’s what they had to say:
“We’ve been successfully operating the machine for about a year. It runs around three hours a day, and that’s been enough for us to cover costs. We’ve saved time by not having to grind. We’ve broadened our work scope. We’re impressing our clients. Our staff seem excited about learning to use it. So we’re very happy that we decided to make the move.”
At FactorySmart, stories like these fuel our work. We don’t just sell machines – we deliver solutions that help you produce better, faster, and more profitably.
Why fiber laser welding is changing the game
Fiber laser welding uses a highly focused beam of light to join materials quickly and precisely. Here’s why more and more manufacturers are investing in this solution:
- User-friendly – Handheld laser welders are easy to use
- Extreme accuracy – Narrow, deep welds with minimal distortion
- Speed – Outperforms traditional welding in time and consistency
- Versatility – Welds thin or delicate materials, including dissimilar metals
- Non-contact – Less wear on tools, ideal for complex or delicate parts
- Eco-friendly – Low energy use and minimal waste
- Automation-ready – Easily integrates into existing production lines
This makes it ideal for high-precision, high-volume, or high-value production environments – particularly where quality, repeatability, and speed are key.
