Abstract
A hand-held laser welding wand includes internal flow passages through which filler media, gas, and coolant may flow. The wand is dimensioned to be grasped with a single hand, and includes an optics assembly disposed therein. The wand is configured such that the optics assembly, or portions thereof, may be readily serviced without having to breach coolant seals or remove a plurality of threaded screws.
