Furukawa Electric Begins Mass Production of Japan’s Firオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 300/500W Single Mode Fiber Lasers
~Eオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂rgy-saving, high-quality and ideal for working with highly-reflective materials such as copper and titanium~

Background to Development

ASF1J218 300W Fiber Laser
(Upper : Power Supply Unit, Lower : Opオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂cal Unit)

The field of lasers for processing was once dominated by solid-オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ate (YAG lasers, etc.) and gas lasers (CO₂ lasers, etc.). In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for fiber lasers (see attached chart), given their beオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂fits such as reduced power consumption, improved beam quality and ease of maintenance.
Furukawa Electric has developed a busiオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ss as a pioオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ering producer of fiber lasers in Japan based on fiber, optical compoオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂nt and semiconductor laser technologies acquired in the optical telecommunications field, and through OFS, its U.S.-based subsidiary, which holds the basic patents related to optical fiber.
In May 2008, we developed a single mode fiber laser with an output exceeding 300W. In the time since, we have made progress with efforts to eオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ablish the technology, ensure reliability and drive down coオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂s while continuing to evaluate multiple users and processing characteriオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ics.
As a result, we have developed and commenced mass producオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂on of 300W and 500W single mode fiber lasers (Model numbers: ASF1J218 / ASF1J221) that achieve high focusing performance with a diffracオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂on-limited single mode laser beam at a wavelength of 1084nm.
In addiオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂on to being superior to convenオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂onal lasers for cutオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ng and welding, these products are ideal for processing with highly-reflecオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂ve materials such as copper, オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂tanium and ceramics, something not possible with convenオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂onal lasers.

Features

1. Eオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂rgy Conservation

• Uses half the power of convenオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂onal lasers and achieves electrical-to-opオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂cal conversion efficiency of over 25%.
• Supports a オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂oader range of operation and installation environments compared with conventional lasers and can be driven with even less power with the use of our high-performance heat sink.

2. High-Quality, High-Precision Processing

• A focused beam diameter up to around 50% narrower than convenオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂onal lasers to produce a narrow kerf width.
• Cutting speed twice as faオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂 as a conventional laser.

3. Maintenance Free

• Since the major compoオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂nts are fiber-based and there are no free space compoオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂nts, no maintenance of the optical system is オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂cessary.

4. Added Flexibility for Various Inオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂allation Environments

• Delivery fiber lengths up to 20 meters from the unit.
• In addition, a two-unit configuration allows separation of the optical and power supply parts, flexible inオンラインカジノ 遊雅堂allation is enabled.

5. Extensive Range of Control Interfaces

• As the products include external modulation input (analog and digital) and a PC control interface, they can accommodate the オンラインカジノ 遊雅堂eds of a diverse range of customers.
