Raytools Laser Welding Head - Fixed Beam, Wobble, Scan & Hybrid Models for Industrial Fiber Laser Welding
Spareszone stocks the complete Raytools industrial laser welding head range - 19 models covering 3kW to 30kW fiber laser welding. Four distinct beam delivery technologies: fixed beam for consistent single-spot welding, wobble beam for gap bridging and galvanized materials, scan beam for high-speed galvo welding, and hybrid beam combining fiber laser with diode for dissimilar material applications. All models are genuine Raytools, QBH fiber connector compatible, and dispatched same day from Ahmedabad.
Every Raytools laser welding head in this range is built for CNC and robotic integration. The fixed beam series (BW03K through BW30K) covers the widest power range and suits production lines where joint geometry is consistent and fit-up is controlled. The wobble beam series (BF04K through BF20K) uses a programmable galvanometer to oscillate the beam for wider bead coverage - essential for galvanized steel, aluminium, and gap-bridging applications. The scan beam series (BG04K, BG06K) uses an F-theta galvo system for high-speed scanning patterns. The hybrid series (BW06H, BF06H) combines a fiber laser beam with a diode laser for improved process stability on difficult materials. All models ship with GST invoice valid for input tax credit.

Use this table to identify the correct model for your laser source power, beam type requirement, and budget. Models are grouped by beam technology - the most important selection criteria before power rating.
Fixed Beam Laser Welding Heads - Single Spot, High Repeatability
Fixed beam heads deliver a single focused spot at a fixed position. No beam oscillation. This gives the highest energy density at the weld point, the deepest penetration for a given power level, and the most consistent weld geometry when joints are well-fitted and fixtures are holding parts repeatably. The correct choice for production lines welding consistent geometry in MS, SS, and copper.

Wobble Beam Laser Welding Heads - Programmable Beam Oscillation
Wobble heads use a built-in galvanometer to oscillate the laser beam in a programmable pattern - circular, figure-8, or linear - across the weld seam at high frequency. The result is a wider effective bead with lower peak energy density at any single point. This matters when you are welding galvanized steel (zinc vapour causes porosity in a single-spot beam), aluminium (high reflectivity and thermal conductivity), poorly-fitted joints, or any application where bead width needs to exceed what a single spot at that focal length can produce. The starting model BF04K at ₹1,34,999 is one of the most cost-effective wobble heads available in India from a branded supplier.

| BF20K (20kW) | ₹3,79,999 |
Ultra-high power wobble - structural steel |
Scan Beam Laser Welding Heads - F-Theta Galvo for High-Speed Scanning
Scan beam heads use an F-theta lens system with a galvanometer scanner to move the beam across a defined working area at very high speed - faster than standard wobble heads and with programmable scan patterns over a wider field. These are deployed on high-throughput production lines where weld path length per second is the primary performance metric. The BG04K and BG06K are the two scan beam models currently in stock.

High-throughput automotive, battery module welding |
Hybrid Beam Laser Welding Heads - Fiber + Diode Combination
Hybrid beam heads combine a high-power fiber laser with a diode laser in the same optical path. The diode laser preheats the weld zone, reducing thermal gradient and the risk of cracking in high-carbon steels, galvanized coatings, and dissimilar material joints. The fiber laser provides the primary energy for penetration. This combination is particularly effective on difficult weld joints where a pure fiber laser alone causes porosity, cracking, or burn-through. The BW06H is the fixed-spot hybrid variant; the BF06H adds wobble capability on top of the hybrid beam.
| Model (Power) | Beam Type | Price (INR) | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| BW06H (6kW) | Hybrid Fixed | ₹1,94,999 |
Dissimilar materials, high-carbon steel, galvanized |
| BF06H (6kW) | Hybrid Wobble | ₹2,44,999 |
Gap bridging on difficult materials, EV battery |
Which Raytools Welding Head Do You Actually Need? A Buyer's Decision Guide
The four beam technologies serve four distinct production scenarios. Buying a wobble head when you need a fixed beam is wasted money. Buying a fixed beam when your material needs wobble means rework, porosity complaints, and failed welds. Match your scenario to the technology below.
Buy Fixed Beam (BW03K / BW06K / BW08L / BW12K / BW20K / BW30K) if:
- Your joints are consistently tight - fit-up gap below 0.3mm reliably achieved by your fixtures
- You are welding mild steel or stainless steel with controlled surfaces - no zinc coating, no oxide layer issues
- Your production runs the same part geometry thousands of times - high repeatability is the priority
- You want the lowest-cost entry into a given power range - fixed beam is always cheaper than wobble at the same power
- You are welding copper or high-reflectivity materials and managing reflection through parameter control rather than beam shaping
Buy Wobble Beam (BF04K / BF06K / BF12K / BF12U / BF20K) if:
- Your joints have inconsistent fit-up - gaps of 0.3mm to 1.5mm are common in your production
- You weld galvanized steel - wobble disperses zinc vapour across a wider bead, reducing porosity
- You weld aluminium - wider bead reduces the sensitivity to joint positioning that makes aluminium difficult with a single spot
- Your customer requires a cosmetically wider, flatter bead appearance rather than a narrow deep-penetration weld
- You are welding dissimilar thicknesses and need the beam energy distributed across both sections
- BF12U specifically if you need programmable wobble parameters - pattern shape, frequency, amplitude - controlled from your CNC controller
Buy Scan Beam (BG04K / BG06K) if:
- Welding speed is the primary KPI - you need the highest possible weld length per minute
- You are welding EV battery tabs, 3C electronics, or thin-section components where throughput per hour determines line profitability
- Your machine is already set up for galvo-controlled scan head integration with matching controller hardware
- You need to weld complex 2D patterns without moving the workpiece or the robot arm - the galvo handles path generation
Buy Hybrid Beam (BW06H / BF06H) if:
- You weld dissimilar materials - different metals, different thicknesses, or coated-to-bare interfaces
- Your welds in galvanized steel show consistent porosity even with wobble settings optimised - hybrid preheating eliminates the zinc vapour issue at the root level
- You weld high-carbon or tool steels that crack in the heat-affected zone with a pure fiber laser - diode preheating controls the thermal gradient
- BF06H if you need wobble on top of hybrid - the most capable 6kW head in the range for difficult material combinations
Laser Source Power vs Correct Raytools Welding Head Model
The welding head's power rating must equal or exceed your laser source's maximum output. Running a 3kW-rated head on a 6kW source at full power destroys the optics immediately and permanently. If you are between power levels, always go to the higher-rated head - there is no performance penalty for using a higher-rated head at lower power, but there is a catastrophic penalty for the reverse.
| Source Power | Fixed Beam | Wobble Beam | Scan / Hybrid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3kW | BW03K | BF04K | - |
| 4kW | BW06K | BF04K | BG04K (Scan) |
| 6kW | BW06K | BF06K | BG06K / BW06H / BF06H |
| 8kW | BW08L | BF12K | - |
| 12kW | BW12K | BF12K / BF12U | - |
| 20kW | BW20K | BF20K | - |
| 30kW | BW30K | - | - |
Industries & Applications - Matched to Raytools Welding Head Technology
Choosing the right head technology for your industry avoids the most common post-purchase complaint: "the welds look good on flat sample pieces but fail on production parts." Production reality always involves fit-up variation, material coating variation, and thermal accumulation over long weld runs - the head technology must handle all three.
- Automotive Body Welding - BF06K wobble or BW06H hybrid for galvanized panels
- EV Battery Pack & Module - BG06K scan or BF06H hybrid wobble for cell-to-busbar welding
- Stainless Steel Fabrication - BW03K / BW06K fixed beam for controlled joints
- Pressure Vessel Manufacturing - BW12K / BW20K fixed beam for thick-section integrity
- Shipbuilding & Heavy Structure - BW30K fixed beam, BF20K wobble
- SS Kitchen & Appliance Manufacturing - BF04K / BF06K wobble for consistent appearance
- Aerospace Components - BF12U programmable wobble for controlled heat input
- Electronics & PCB Assemblies - BG04K scan beam for high-speed precision
Raytools Welding Head Maintenance - What Field Experience Shows
Across all four beam technologies in this range, the same four maintenance failures cause the majority of avoidable head damage in Indian production environments. Address these and a Raytools head will reach its rated service life without intervention beyond consumable replacement.
1. Protective Lens - Replace on Condition, Not on Calendar
Inspect at the start of every shift with a torch held at a shallow angle to the lens surface. Any pitting, hazing, or spatter deposit in the central 50% of the clear aperture means replace today, not at the next scheduled maintenance. A contaminated lens absorbs laser energy, heats its own mount, and can thermally fracture - sending debris into the collimation assembly directly above it. The BF series (wobble) and BG series (scan) heads have larger clear apertures than the BW fixed beam heads - this gives slightly longer protective lens life at equivalent power levels, but the inspection protocol is identical.
2. Water Cooling on BW08L, BW12K, BW20K, BW30K, BF12K, BF20K, BG06K
All high-power heads in this range (8kW and above) use water-cooled lens mounts. The cooling circuit for the welding head typically branches off the same chiller loop as the laser source. Use deionized water at conductivity below 50 µS/cm. The inline filter between the chiller outlet and the welding head inlet must be cleaned every time the main chiller strainer is serviced - partial blockage here reduces flow to the head without triggering a chiller flow alarm, because the chiller reads return flow, not head inlet flow. A running delta between chiller supply temperature and head body temperature greater than 3°C during production is the first sign of restricted head cooling flow.
3. QBH Fiber Connector - Inspect Every Disconnection
The QBH connector end face is the most damage-sensitive interface on the entire head. Oil from a fingerprint, metal vapour deposit from the weld environment, or dust from the shop floor on the QBH end face causes localised absorption that heats and damages both the connector face and the first internal lens element of the head. Use a fiber inspection scope compliant with IEC 61300-3-35 every time the QBH is disconnected. Clean with an approved fiber optic cleaning pen before reconnecting. At 12kW and above, a single contaminated QBH connection can destroy the head's collimation lens in one power-on cycle.
4. Galvo Mirror Condition on BF & BG Series
The wobble (BF series) and scan (BG series) heads contain internal galvanometer mirrors that direct the beam oscillation or scan pattern. These mirrors have reflective coatings optimised for 1064nm that degrade with contamination or thermal stress. If your wobble pattern becomes asymmetric - wider on one side than the other - or if the scan field shows non-uniform energy distribution, inspect the galvo mirrors before assuming the laser source or controller is at fault. Galvo mirror replacement requires returning the head to a qualified service centre; it is not a field-serviceable component.

Frequently Asked Questions - Raytools Laser Welding Heads
A fixed beam welding head (Raytools BW series) focuses the laser to a single spot at a fixed position. All the laser energy goes into that one point, giving the highest energy density and deepest penetration for a given power level. A wobble beam head (Raytools BF series) uses a built-in galvanometer to oscillate that spot in a programmable pattern - circular, figure-8, or linear - across the joint at high frequency. This distributes energy over a wider area, producing a broader bead with lower peak energy density. Fixed beam is better for tight, well-fitted joints in consistent production. Wobble beam is better when fit-up is variable, when welding galvanized steel, aluminium, or dissimilar thicknesses where a single concentrated spot causes burn-through or porosity.
The BF series wobble beam heads are the standard choice for galvanized steel welding. Zinc vapour released from the galvanized coating during welding causes porosity in a fixed single-spot beam because the vapour escapes through the molten pool and creates gas pockets. The wobble oscillation distributes energy over a wider area, giving zinc vapour a larger surface area to escape from without creating internal porosity. At 6kW, the BF06K at ₹1,74,999 is the most commonly deployed model for this application in Indian automotive and white goods production. For particularly difficult galvanized butt joints, the BW06H or BF06H hybrid heads add a diode preheating element that further reduces porosity at the root level.
A scan beam welding head (Raytools BG04K, BG06K) uses an F-theta lens system with a galvanometer scanner to move the laser beam across a defined working area at very high speed - significantly faster than a wobble head and over a larger field. The galvo controller programs the beam path as a 2D pattern within the scan field, and the laser follows that path without the robot arm or CNC axis moving. This makes scan beam heads ideal for applications where maximum weld length per second is the primary metric: EV battery tab welding, 3C electronics, thin-section components, and any high-throughput production line where cycle time is the bottleneck. They require matching controller hardware that supports scan head integration - confirm this with your machine builder before ordering.
Hybrid beam combines a high-power fiber laser (1064nm) with a diode laser in the same optical delivery path. The diode laser preheats the weld zone ahead of the fiber laser spot, raising the base metal temperature before the primary welding energy arrives. This controlled preheat reduces the thermal gradient between the weld pool and the surrounding base metal, which directly addresses three common problems: cracking in the heat-affected zone of high-carbon steels, porosity from zinc vaporisation in galvanized steel, and lack-of-fusion at the interface between dissimilar materials with different thermal conductivities. The BW06H is the fixed-spot variant at ₹1,94,999. The BF06H adds wobble capability on top of the hybrid beam at ₹2,44,999 - the most capable 6kW head in the range for genuinely difficult welding applications.
Both are 12kW wobble beam heads. The BF12K at ₹2,59,999 is the standard 12kW wobble head with fixed wobble parameters set at commissioning. The BF12U at ₹3,19,999 adds programmable wobble control - the beam oscillation pattern, frequency, and amplitude can be adjusted from the CNC controller during production without physically accessing the head. This matters when you run multiple part types on the same machine, each requiring different wobble parameters, and changing heads between jobs is not practical. If you run one material and one joint type, BF12K is sufficient. If you switch between applications - say, thin SS enclosures in the morning and galvanized bracket assemblies in the afternoon - BF12U pays for its price premium in faster changeover.
