High power fiber lasers are a result of the merger between two of the most innovative and advancedtechnologies in the laser world - active optical fibers and semiconductor diodes. Active fibers allow for an extremely bright light out of a very small core, thus making possible the production of kW class out- put with excellent beam quality. Use of extremely bright semiconductor single emitter diodes to pump these fibers allows IPG to dramatically improve the systems lifetime compared to lamp or diode bar/stack pumped systems. The combination of both technologies results in a unique, highly reliable...

IPG's use of high-power single emitter diodepump sources manufactured by following tele- com-grade quality standards and technology sets us well apart from other laser products that use short-lived diode bars and stacks. Our broad area diodes have 10 year estimated life spans (over 100,000 hours!), eliminating worries about diode replacement costs and downtime. These diodes use conventional cool- ing, eliminating the complexity and issues of micro-channel cooling used in diode-pumped solid state lasers. Due to use of fiber as an active media, fiber lasers provide very high beam quality over the...

Control interfaces are industry standard and can be provided as PCB board or PLC version. You can choose InterBus or PROFINET as a standard feature. 10-40kW power supply can fit in one rack cabinet and support up to 12kW of output optical power. > If something happens witha regular fiber laser mod- ule the module would turn off and a redundant module starts automatically leaving you with the same power. An alarm would be activat- ed notifying you that a mod- ule requires service but the laser would keep operating. > Combines all input single mode fiber in one output feeding fiber (100 micron...

The availability of coupling light from one fiber to others greatly expands IPGs fiber laser capabilities. A singlelaser can be used as power source for multiple work cells reducing the total cost of capital equipment and doing different applications. For instance, one laser could weld with a 300 micron fiber in one cell and cut with a 100 micron fiber in another. Not to mention a great advantage is the ease of replacement of a process fiber in case of accidental damage while the main laser source stays intact and operational for other channels. > Six channel beam switch Available 2, 4, 6 or...

IPG fiber lasers feature the most up to date control functions requested by industry. Interfaces such as PROFIBUS,DeviceNet, Industrial Ethernet or simple digital I/O make integration with complex equipment straightforward. All laser parameters and available peripherals such as a multi-channel beam switch, chiller, guide laser, power supply, etc. are constantly monitored and controlled by an internal computer and can be remotely accessed at any time. A convenient graphical user interface can be installed on any customer PC. In addition, IPG fiber lasers have conventional interfaces such as analog...

Unlike conventional laser technologies, IPG fiber lasers require no preventive maintenance. As long as output opticsand coolant are properly maintained by the customer, the laser will perform consistently without adjustment or inter- vention by the customer or IPG. This greatly reduces downtime and maintenance cost to the customer. IPG has a team of dedicated service professionals and technical support specialists worldwide to provide personal and effective customer support. Should service or support be required, remote diagnostic capabilities are available to the customer. An IPG service professional...
