Are You Missing the Latest Advances in Laser Material Processing?

The past five years have seen significant advances in both the performance and application of industrial laser systems.  From the introduction of the Ytterbium fiber laser to ongoing improvements in the performance and reliability of more traditional laser sources, there has never been such a broad range of laser technologies available to manufacturing industries.

• High Performance, Zero Maintenance with the Ytterbium Fiber Laser. The pulsed Ytterbium fiber has replaced the q-switched Nd:YAG and Nd:YV04 laser in many marking, cutting and welding applications.  With shorter pulse widths, higher peak power and higher sustained power at higher pulse rates, the Ytterbium fiber laser significantly improves on the performance of the older solid-state-lasers.  The Ytterbium fiber lasers are air-cooled, provide 100k+ hours diode life and are highly reliable with zero required maintenance.

• Efficiency and Reliability Improve with New CO₂ Laser Designs. The latest CO₂ laser designs provide more power in smaller packages with lower operating costs and are often air-cooled.  Improvements in laser beam quality and pulse characteristics have expanded the capabilities of this time-proven technology.  The cost-per-watt of today’s compact designs provides an attractive, cost-effective solution for many manufacturing challenges.

• High-Speed, High-Accuracy Beam Steering Systems. For laser marking systems and other material processing applications that utilize galvanometer beam-steering systems, the latest scan systems provide unprecedented speed and accuracy.  Increased process speed may significantly improve the cost-savings of a laser machine tool as compared to previous laser performance.

• Advances in Today’s Laser Technology Have Facilitated Improvements in Traditional Applications and the Development of Innovative New Laser Processes. Higher speeds, greater accuracy, higher quality, smaller feature size.  Our application Lab continues to develop new uses for the latest laser technologies while continually improving on the benefits of lasers in established applications.
