| New fiber laser from PTG Industries  PTG Industries announces laser cutting and marking system that utilizes a 1,000 watt fiber laser. This state-of-the-art technology has an efficiency rate of 50-60% and has superior beam quality. PTG’s SBM 1200M is twice as efficient as CO2 cutting systems for general metal cutting. This system can cut a variety of materials, including thin metals, plates, sheet metal, medical stents and silicon. PTG's SBM 1200M fiber laser cutting system operates at a power level of up to 1,000 watts. Its spot size is 1/10 the size of a CO2 laser's, which permits greater detail and higher accuracy in cutting and marking.The SBM 1200M's cutting capabilities can be used for medical device micro cutting applications, hydro-formed components, automotive frames cutting and blank cutting. It can also perform welding applications such as sintering, pipe/plate welding and spot welding flexures. The SBM 1200M has a removable cutting head that can be replaced with a scanning head, thus doubling this system's functionality and saving users the cost of implementing a second system for marking. The advantages of the SBM 1200M fiber laser cutting system include: - No change in divergence as a function of power - High efficiency - The lowest beam divergence of any 1 micron laser at all power levels - Requires little setup time - Plug-n-Play capabilities write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
