      Welding and Laser Experts Collide

      Miller’s commitment to providing safe and reliable welding innovations led to the partnership with IPG Photonics, the world leader in fiber lasers. The result: The Miller OptX 2kW handheld laser welder, a solution that will benefit users like never before.

      OptXTM 2kW Safety Requirements

      Adherence to ANSI Standard Z136.1 and IEC Standard 60825-1 is required with the use of Class 4 lasers. One person at each company must be trained and certified as a Laser Safety Officer (LSO)
      who is responsible for:

      • Ensuring the environment surrounding the laser welding cell or Laser Controlled Area is safe for people nearby when the laser is in operation.
      • Ensuring the laser is operated/demonstrated safely by trained personnel.

      LSO certification is open to anyone who is trained and certified by an accredited organization. Training courses, which can range from four hours to several days, are available in person and online from the Laser Institute of America and Kentek.

      A company’s LSO must register the OptX 2kW in order to have permission to activate the machine.
