SPI LASERS says it will double the power and control capabilities of its newest lasers, allowing faster cutting and welding operations.
The fibre laser manufacturer says its air-cooled lasers have been increased from 100 to 200W power, while the water-cooled range will see a jump from 200 to 400W.
The company claims it will also design new laser control functions for its R4 laser platform which will enhance a range of laser machining applications.
According to the manufacturer, new features include Extended Performance Range (XPR) and Pulse Shape Equalisation (PSE). XPR allows high power lasers to be switched to operate at much lower outputs, while PSE prevents first pulse over- or under-shoot, so the first pulse can be used as per normal.
The laser company says the improvements have been trialled and found to achieve significant process improvements in cutting, welding and engraving applications. It aims to lower customers’ total cost of ownership and allow for a faster return on investment.
