A Closer Look at the Fanuci & Falcon Laser Technology Range at Rapid Welding
Laser technology is rapidly changing the way modern fabrication works. Faster processing, cleaner results and reduced rework are just a few of the reasons more workshops are moving toward laser-based solutions.
At Rapid Welding, we are delighted to introduce you to a carefully selected range of Fanuci & Falcon laser machines designed to help fabricators, manufacturers, and engineers take advantage of this shift. From portable welders to industrial cutting systems, these machines are built to improve both productivity and finish quality across a wide variety of applications.
In this blog, the Rapid Welding team have chosen five key machines to take a closer look at and outline where each one fits into a real-world workflow.
All are now available through Rapid Welding.
Portable Precision – FANUCI 5.0 PRO Portable Laser Welder
For many workshops, the first step into laser welding is portability and flexibility, and that’s exactly what the FANUCI 5.0 PRO Portable Laser Welder delivers.
Designed as a compact handheld unit, it allows operators to produce clean, low-distortion welds on materials such as stainless steel, mild steel and aluminium. The reduced heat input compared with traditional MIG or TIG welding means less grinding, less finishing and faster turnaround times.
This makes it ideal for:
- Fabrication workshops
- Maintenance and repair
- Sheet metal work
- Bespoke manufacturing
For businesses looking to modernise welding without overhauling their workflow, this machine is often the natural entry point into laser technology.
Industrial Laser Welding – FANUCI 5.0 PRO GenX Laser Welder
Where the portable model focuses on flexibility, the FANUCI 5.0 PRO GenX Laser Welder is built for higher productivity and deeper penetration welding.
Engineered for more demanding applications, this system delivers consistent weld quality across longer runs and thicker materials. The stable beam characteristics reduce spatter and minimise post-weld finishing, making it particularly valuable in production environments.
Typical applications include:
- Structural fabrication
- Automotive components
- Manufacturing production lines
- Repeat-process welding
Laser Cleaning – A Smarter Surface Preparation Method
Traditional cleaning methods, grinding, blasting and chemicals, all involve consumables, labour time and potential surface damage. Laser cleaning changes that completely by removing contamination without affecting the base material.
Rapid Welding now offers two Fanuci & Falcon cleaning systems suited to different levels of work.
FANUCI Futura MOPA Laser Cleaner (Precision Cleaning)
The Futura MOPA is designed for controlled, delicate cleaning applications. Its adjustable pulse characteristics allow operators to remove coatings, oxidation and residue while preserving the surface beneath.
Ideal for:
- Mould cleaning
- Restoration work (rust and oil removal)
- Tooling maintenance
- Precision engineering components
Where traditional methods risk altering surface tolerances, the MOPA cleaner provides accuracy and repeatability.
FANUCI Futura Fiber Laser Cleaner (Heavy-Duty Cleaning)
For larger-scale or heavier contamination, the Futura Fiber Laser Cleaner delivers powerful, high-efficiency cleaning.
It excels at removing:
- Rust
- Paint
- Coatings
- Industrial contamination
This makes it well-suited to fabrication shops, refurbishment work and pre-weld preparation, dramatically reducing prep time before welding or coating processes.
High-Speed Cutting – FALCON ST Masterline Series Laser Cutter
Completing the range is the FALCON ST Masterline Series laser cutter, a full-scale cutting solution designed for precision and throughput.
Laser cutting offers clean edges, minimal kerf and excellent repeatability compared with plasma or mechanical cutting. The Masterline series enables workshops to bring high-accuracy cutting in-house, improving lead times and reducing reliance on subcontract processing.
It is particularly beneficial for:
- Sheet metal production
- Batch manufacturing
- Prototype development
- Complex geometry cutting
By combining cutting, welding and cleaning technologies, businesses can integrate a far more efficient fabrication workflow under one roof.
Bringing Laser Technology into Your Workshop
Together, these five machines represent a complete laser workflow:
- Cut with the Falcon ST Masterline
- Clean with the Futura Fiber or MOPA systems
- Join with the Fanuci & Falcon portable or GenX welders
For many workshops, adopting even one of these technologies can dramatically improve efficiency, consistency and finish quality. Implementing multiple processes can transform production capability altogether.
