Fibre lasers

Coherent, Inc. has expanded its fiber laser operation in Tampere, Finland, and designated the facility as a “Center of Excellence for Fiber Lasers”. Fiber lasers themselves have been produced at this location since 2003. Now, in order to further streamline the production flow, Coherent will combine stand-alone fiber laser source assembly and testing at the same site with the manufacture of fiber laser components, laser engines, and combiners.

This name change will allow the company to present themselves as an Amada group company with the highest experience in welding and associated precision technologies

Coherent has extended the capabilities of its PowerMax series thermopile sensors to enable measurement of laser powers as high as 6kW

Recent developments in the area of fibre laser technologies and the increased demand for high powers fibre laser components fabrication has created the need for endcaps in both active and passive fibres. Laser Components has therefore launched of a new End-Cap fusion Splicer (ECS).

Leicester-based ADS Laser Cutting has invested in a new TRUMPF TruLaser 5030 fiber with 10kW power source, effectively doubling the speed at which it can profile components

The new Videojet 7340 and 7440 fibre laser marking systems from Videojet Technologies are the first to feature Lightfoot, the world’s smallest laser marking head

In 2020 SPI Lasers, the UK based designer and manufacturer of fibre lasers will be celebrating its 20th year
