Direct-Diode Industrial Systems. Superior Reliability & Performance

Focus on High-Power Direct-Diode Laser Technology.

HighLight products The HighLight™ D-Series of kilowatt-class direct-diode laser (HPDDL) systems are simple to use and have a proven track record in industrial environ­ ents. These systems consist of a light weight, rugged laser head, m a user friendly control unit with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a dual-loop chiller. The compact size of the laser enables mounting the head on a robot or a gantry type system. The lightweight and rugged design is employed in production sites worldwide processing everything from small hand tools to massive steel shafts and heavy truck axles. The types of...

The HighLight D-Series is a solid-state laser system based on laser diode bars with beam shaping optics and a free-space beam delivery system. The beam shape formed by the laser can be tailored to the application and is ideal for processing large surface area parts with localized and minimal heat input. Power (kW) Wavelength (nm) Line Beam: Lengths (mm) Widths (mm) Stainless Steel Alloys (316L, 420) Iron-based Alloys (316L, 410, 420, M2, H13) Nickel-based Alloys (IN625, Ni-WC) Cobalt-based Alloys (Stellite, Triballoy) Heat Treating Cast Iron (4140, 1045) Carbon Steels (Gray cast iron) Stainless...

Focus on Heat Treating. Heat treating a surface with a laser is as simple as point the laser, heat the surface, and let it cool. HighLight D-Series laser technology is ideal for performing lasertransformation hardening in a manufactur­ ing environment because of the superior heat treat characteristics, the flexibility of the process, the compatibility with a lean manufacturing environment, and fast cycle time for processing the parts. When com­ paring yields, operating expenses, and envi­ ronmental impact, this method is the most cost-effective laser heat-treating process. HighLight D-Series,...

Focus on Cladding. Cladding is the deposition of materials on a base part for the purpose of enhancing mechanical properties of the base material. The HighLight D-Series based cladding process is the most cost-effective process available today for the production environment. This laser process has the highest material capture efficiency in the industry with 85% to 95% of the powder material being deposited on the surface of the work piece. The lesser the wasted material, the lower the costs. The HighLight D-Series is an all solid-state system delivering outstanding reliabil­ ty and efficiency...
