Start of industrial series application by clients: Jenoptik supplies high power fiber lasers to Asia

The first consignments of the new Jenoptik fiber lasers have been delivered. They went to an Asian client where they will be used for high-speed metal cutting. Further high power fiber lasers will be delivered till the end of this year. The lasers had previously passed a comprehensive and demanding series of application tests with flying colors.

The fiber laser which Jenoptik also successfully showcased at the EuroBLECH 2012 trade fair at the end of October this year complements the range of excellent lasers, offered by the Jenoptik’s Lasers & Material Processing division for use in industry, medical technology and security sector. Jenoptik has control over the entire value-added chain of laser material processing – from special optics to components and laser sources up to complete laser machines.

The JenLas® fiber cw 1000 has an output power of 1000 Watts and guarantees fast processing as well as consistent high productivity, simultaneously maintaining a high processing quality in the corresponding, primarily industrial applications, in particular for cutting and welding of the various metals. Unlike other manufacturers, Jenoptik’s know-how in the field of diode lasers, pump sources for fiber lasers, the laser sources themselves as well as the processing optics offer a unique, all-round environment. Due to its in-depth understanding of each technological stage in laser engineering, combined with comprehensive experience covering all aspects of the respective applications, Jenoptik guarantees an easy, seamless and flexible integration of the lasers into the corresponding process cycles of its customers worldwide.

Like disk lasers, fiber lasers are a form of solid-state lasers. The laser light is passed through the fiber and is guided in its core. It is significantly boosted, because of the very long interaction period. The advantages of the fiber lasers include a simple, compact and maintenance-free design, energy efficiency, excellent laser beam quality and a long lifetime. The fiber laser market is growing at a faster rate compared to the markets for other laser types. The characteristics of fiber lasers make them an attractive alternative for use when modernizing existing production facilities.
