Common questions
What thickness can THEO weld?
The MA1 ULTRA welds up to 8.5 mm of stainless in a single pass; the standard heads handle up to 4 mm — no edge prep and no filler on most joints.
Do operators need special training?
No welding ticket required — most operators run their first production weld within two hours using the guided 7″ touchscreen presets.
Is laser welding safe on the shop floor?
Yes — CE-rated optics, a key interlock and THEO VIZ safety helmets keep your team protected at full power.
What is the typical lead time?
In-stock configurations ship within 3–5 working days; bespoke bundles are quoted with a firm lead time inside 24 hours.

What welders say
★★★★★ · Verified buyer
We replaced two TIG stations with one THEO welder. Same output, half the floor space — and new hires are productive in a day.
