Factual Summary

The BODOR AIR Line (Air Series) is BODOR's portable air-cooled laser welding machine, pioneering continuous light output with air-cooling. It comes in three power levels (600, 900 and 1200W), with no external chiller, and is the lightest in the line (starting at 36 kg). The 1200W air-cooled version achieves the performance of a 1500W water-cooled machine with less weight and greater portability. In Brazil, it is distributed by Birisoldas, Authorized BODOR Distributor and the largest seller in Latin America in 2024, with in-house technicians and local support in SP, MS and MT.

For whom

Light, chiller-free, ready to travel with your work

Air-cooled

Innovative air-cooling technology with phase change medium that dissipates heat continuously. No chiller, no water, less weight and simpler installation.

The lightest

Starting at 36 kg, it is the most portable laser welding machine in the line. Easy to carry to the part, climb scaffolding or move between job sites, without the weight of an external chiller.

Smart power

The 1200W air-cooled version delivers the welding performance of 1500W water-cooled. Continuous output and constant temperature keep welding stable with refined efficiency.

Features

What the AIR line does inside

The difference · air

Air-cooling, continuous output

Phase change cooling medium enables continuous heat discharge without a chiller. The machine maintains constant temperature and continuous light output, pioneering in the segment, without the weight and maintenance of a water system.

BODOR air-cooled laser welding machine Air Series
Operation · one knob

One knob, full control

Welding parameters are on a single rotating knob. The operator adjusts power, speed and modes on the fly, without complex menus, and keeps the weld consistent piece after piece.

One-knob control of BODOR Air Series
Versatility · nozzles

More combinations, more options

Quick nozzle changes adapt the machine to each joint type, thickness and function. The same platform covers welding, and with the right nozzles also cutting and cleaning, expanding applications.

And more

No chiller

No need for an external water chiller: one less piece of equipment, less maintenance and less weight to move.

From 36 kg

The lightest laser welding machine in the BODOR line, easy to carry to the part, the job site or scaffolding.

Low thermal distortion

The concentrated laser heat distorts the part less than conventional welding, with less rework needed.

Short learning curve

One-knob control and ready modes turn a beginner into a consistent welder in short order.

5-meter cable

Reach to weld far from the source, with freedom of movement around the part.

Stainless steel, aluminum and thin gauge

Strong on thin and reflective material, with clean weld bead where conventional welding distorts more.

Capability

The lightest, for work that travels

The 600 to 1200W AIR line covers thin gauge, stainless steel and aluminum welding with clean weld bead and low thermal distortion, chiller-free and with the least weight in the line. The 1200W air-cooled has performance equivalent to 1500W water-cooled. For heavy volume and thick gauge, the Aqu scales up power; for the industrial 1500W self-cooling reference, the PRO. Birisoldas confirms the ideal power for your thickness and material.

Applications

Where the AIR welds

Because of its light weight and clean weld bead on thin material, the AIR is strong for anyone who moves the machine with the work:

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about the AIR line

What is BODOR AIR air-cooling and why doesn't it need a chiller?

The AIR line uses air-cooling with phase change cooling medium that dissipates heat continuously without needing an external chiller with water. This eliminates water cooling equipment, reduces weight and simplifies installation and maintenance, while maintaining continuous laser output.

What is the difference between BODOR's AIR, PRO and Aqu laser welding lines?

The AIR (Air Series) is the lightest, air-cooled, chiller-free, 600 to 1200W, ideal for thin gauge, stainless steel and aluminum work that moves frequently. The PRO (Pro 1500) is the 1500W reference, self-cooling, 3 in 1 (welding, cutting and cleaning). The Aqu is the high-power line (2000 and 3000W) for deep welding of thick material. Birisoldas recommends the right line based on your thickness, portability and volume needs.

Does the 1200W AIR replace a 1500W machine?

In welding performance, yes: BODOR reports that the 1200W Air with automatic cooling achieves the performance of a 1500W water-cooled laser welding machine, with the advantage of being much lighter and eliminating the need for a chiller. Birisoldas confirms exact capacity for your thickness and material.

Is the AIR line good for stainless steel, aluminum and thin gauge?

Yes. Being light, portable and with continuous output, the AIR excels in stainless steel, aluminum and thin gauge work, with clean weld bead and low thermal distortion. It is the choice for metalworking shops, window frames, stainless steel furniture, industrial kitchens and maintenance work where the machine needs to travel to the job.

Does BODOR AIR have support and warranty in Brazil?

Yes. In Brazil, the company that supplies, installs, trains, warrants and services the machine is Birisoldas, BODOR Authorized Distributor and the largest seller in Latin America in 2024, with in-house technicians, parts inventory and local support in SP, MS and MT.
