🔥 Laser Welding: The Future of Metal Fabrication, Right Here at Ten4.
Alright, let’s kick things off with the cool stuff—because yes, we now have a machine that can:
✅ Blast rust clean off metal like it owes it money
✅ Burn clean through a piece of wood… into the one behind it
✅ Make fresh timber look like it’s been ageing in an old woolshed for 80 years
And that’s all before we even talk about what it can do for welding.
We’re not saying it’s a Star Trek phaser… but after seeing the video of it boring a hole through one plank and straight into the next, you might start calling it the same thing. And the rust removal? It’s pure magic. We’ve got the footage, and it’s honestly more satisfying than pressure washing a muddy quad bike.
Watch the laser zap rust like it’s disappearing into another dimension
See it carve through timber like a hot knife through pavlova
Now that we’ve got your attention—let’s talk about what this new tech actually means for the serious side of the job.
🚀 Laser Welding: The Future of Fabrication, Right Here at Ten4
If you want custom-manufactured metal products that are cleaner, stronger, and built faster (without looking like they were slapped together in a shed), you’re in the right place.
Ten4 is now rocking Northland’s first state-of-the-art laser welding machine—and it’s changing the game. While old-school welding still has its place, laser welding takes things to a whole new level of speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
For you? That means:
-
Cleaner, sharper welds
-
Less warping
-
Shorter wait times
-
Better results all round
🔍 What Is Laser Welding (And Why Should You Care)?
Laser welding is a cutting-edge process that uses a super-focused beam of light to fuse metal together. It’s precise, it’s fast, and it doesn’t make a mess. No filler rods, no big sparks, no dodgy seams. Just a clean, tight join that looks mint and holds strong.
Think scalpel, not sledgehammer. Same result—just a whole lot neater.
⚙️ How It Works (Quick Version)
-
A high-powered laser targets the exact join
-
It melts the metal only where it’s needed
-
It cools and fuses almost instantly
-
Boom—job done
The laser never touches the metal. That means less wear and tear, no contamination, and a whole lot less post-weld cleanup.
🛠 Laser Welding vs Traditional Welding
| Feature | Laser Welding | Traditional Welding |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Surgical-level accuracy | Good but chunky |
| Speed | Up to 10x faster | Slower, especially for fiddly bits |
| Heat Input | Minimal | A full-on sauna |
| Distortion | Very low | Can warp like your old trailer gate |
| Post-Processing | Often none | Usually needs grinding |
| Automation | Built for it | Mostly hands-on |
💪 What This Means For You
1. Welds So Clean You’ll Think They Were Laser-Etched (Because They Were)
Whether it’s a ute tray, bracket, or architectural metalwork, the finish is sharp straight off the line—no grinding needed.
2. Faster Builds, Less Waiting Around
We’re talking 3 to 10 times faster than TIG welding. Get your jobs turned around quicker without sacrificing quality.
3. Stronger Welds, Less Warping
Laser welding gives deep, narrow welds with minimal heat distortion. Great for parts that need to handle the real world.
4. No Cleanup = Cheaper Jobs
Forget the hours spent smoothing welds. Less labour time means lower costs and quicker installs.
5. Handles All Materials
From stainless to alloy to steel, this laser handles a range of metals—and mixed materials too.
6. Custom-Friendly
Laser welding’s a dream for one-offs, tricky shapes, and creative builds. It’s like having a digital blacksmith in your corner.
7. Consistency on Repeat Jobs
If you need tight tolerances across a batch of parts, the laser delivers the same top-tier weld every single time.
