Xlaserlab X1 Pro Laser Welder: Unboxing & First-Time Setup Guide

X1 Pro is a portable 3-in-1 laser machine that combines laser welding, laser cutting, and laser cleaning in one unit. To help you get up and running quickly and safely, this guide walks you through unboxing and basic hardware installation.

Part 1: Packing List Check

Before you start installing the X1 Pro, please check that all accessories in the box are complete.
The X1 Pro kit should include the following items:

• x1 pro laser welding machine
• External emergency stop
• Wire feeder accessories
• Process test sample
• Protective lens *5
• Safety clip
• Copper nozzle box
• Certificate of conformity
• Shipping Inspection Report
• Protection goggles
• Handheld welding gun

Part 2: Hardware Installation Steps

Before installation, look at the diagram in the manual to quickly understand each port on the device.

Step 1: Connect the power

Connect the power cable to the electric cable port on the device. This is the first port under the main power switch.

The laser power input cable needs to be connected to single-phase AC power (110–220 VAC). Use the supplied plugs: 125 V & 20 A, 250 V & 16 A.

Step 2: Connect the wire feeder

Take out the wire feeder connection cable.

• Plug the small end into the wire feeder.
• Plug the large end into the wire feeder port on the X1 Pro laser welder. This port is located below the power cable port.

Step 3: Connect the external emergency stop

Insert the external emergency stop button cable into the DB-25 control port on the device, and use a screwdriver to tighten and fix it.

Then turn on the main power switch of the device.

Step 4: Installing the Wire Feeder

Open the side cover of the wire feeder and unplug the two red buttons.

After the red button is pulled down you can take out the wire feed roller, choose the right wire feed roller according to the diameter of your welding wire. To complete the replacement, remember to pull up the two red buttons and restore the original position for fixing.

Use a screwdriver to loosen to insert the wire feed tube to just a little above the wire feed rollers, then tighten again.

To install the wire spool, lift the metal puller up and install the wire spool, finish and then return it to prevent the wire from rolling out.

Pass the welding wire through the conduit.

When you're done, bring the top two fixed keys down while bringing the red handle up.

Press and hold the WIRE FEED button until the solder wire comes out.

Unscrew the top screw and remove the screw stack piece at the same time.

Take out the laser torch and put the welding wire into the hole while tightening the screws, forgetting about the screw stack piece.

Put in the set screw and wire feed tube and tighten them at the same time.

Remove the nozzle and tighten it on the filament tube.

Align the nozzle with the groove under the torch.

After alignment is complete, the front page wrench is tightened and secured.

Step 5: Installation of gas

Connect the protective gas hose (OD 6 mm) to the protective gas inlet port and open the gas valve to ensure that the air pressure is >0.2 MPa (2 kgf/cm²) and the gas flow rate is >15 L/min;

Connect the other end of the air hose to the gas cylinder. Make sure the pressure is over 0.2 MPa.

Step 6: install the safety clip

Turn right to release the emergency stop switch on the front panel of the laser, insert the key switch right to ON, insert the safety lock, and access the external emergency stop to turn on the light.

Press the emergency stop button

Step 7, equipment settings

Click the touch screen, enter the software interface, select continuous light mode or pulse light mode, adjust the corresponding parameters.

Next, click on the button to weld.

X1 Pro New User Tips

Practice on the test samples first

Test on scrap before machining the actual part.

• Start with lower power and slower speed.
• Try both continuous and pulse modes to see the difference.
• Adjust parameters step by step and note what works best for your metal and thickness.

Get gas settings right for cleaner welds

X1 Pro needs good shielding gas to keep the weld pool clean and bright. If your welds look black or porous, gas type and flow may be the reason. To learn how gas type, flow, and nozzle setup affect weld quality, see What Are The Primary Factors Affecting Laser Welding Quality?
