Versatile Compact Laser Utilizes a Direct Diode Laser



Mazak Optonics has introduced multiple new laser-cutting technologies/ systems that include its Kentucky manufactured Versatile Compact Laser - Tube 100 which utilizes Direct Diode Laser technology.

"The Mazak Optonics VCL-T100 is an affordable tube production laser that utilizes Direct Diode Laser technology which delivers higher efficiency and reliability than traditional fiber or other solid state laser generation systems," said a company spokesperson. This is the first in a series of Mazak Optonics machines to be engineered and produced in North America to meet the specific demands of the local market.

VCL-T100 has been designed as a solution for low to mid volume tube components up to 4" round, 3" square and standard lengths up to 12' (24' optional). This versatile machine also cuts flat sheets up to 20" x 24" and 1/4" thick. The VCL-T100 utilizes Direct Diode Laser technology which is the next generation of solid state laser technology. VCL-T100 includes a fiber delivery system and the generator that offers advantages including more efficient operation. "Direct Diode lasers deliver better performance when cutting aluminum as compared to other technologies. They also offer enhanced modular flexibility over fiber laser generators," said the spokesperson.
