Abstract
A control console that is used in conjunction with a hand-held laser welding wand is adapted to couple to an electrically controllable filler media supply source, and to an electrically controllable laser source. The control console includes a control switch that is electrically coupled to the filler media supply source and the laser source and is configured to such that an operator can independently and simultaneously control the filler media supply source to either supply or not supply filler media, and the laser source to either emit or not emit laser light therefrom. The control switch is preferably further configured to control the optical power level of the laser source.
