Kilowatt Fiber Lasers
August 1, 2013
IPG Photonics Corporation offers its Kilowatt class low-mode Ytterbium fiber lasers. According to the company, the improved 1,060 nm laser offers simple operation and extends the range of applications for fiber lasers.
"Designated as the YLS-xxx-Y13 series, the new lasers offer customers lower operating costs and service requirements over IPG's current best-in-class lasers," said a company spokesperson. "The main benefits include increased wall plug efficiency (up to 33% from 28-30%), up to two times average improvement in beam quality and an increase in the estimated mean time of uninterrupted laser operation from the current one and one-half years to greater than three years. IPG now offers for this series a three-year warranty, an upgrade from the current two-year warranty."
According to IPG Photonics, improvements include:
- Higher power diode modules
- New fiber block design with 3X increase in damage power threshold, resulting in increased reliability
- New line of basic single-mode fiber modules with higher power and efficiency
- New internally developed and manufactured modular digital power supplies with higher efficiency and enhanced redundancy features
- New digital laser diode current drivers with increased control flexibility, stability and precision
- New control system allowing integrated control of both laser and process subsystem
- New generation of compact multichannel beam switches, hermetically sealed for enhanced reliability
- New sealed laser cabinet design allowing for more reliable laser operation in extreme operating conditions
- New high performance process heads for welding, cutting and remote welding applications.
