Enhanced fibre lasers with power up to 1,000W
AMADA Miyachi America, a manu-
facturer of resistance welding, laser
welding, marking, cutting and micro
machining equipment and systems,
has added four new higher power
models to the LF Series range of fibre
laser welders. The addition of the new
models will address thicker materials or
increase processing speed for a given
application.
The company now offers an LF Series
fibre laser in power levels ranging from
250W to 1,000W in the same form factor
and with the same features.
With the precise control needed for
small component welding and fine
precision cutting of metals, the LF Series
fibre lasers are suitable for micro spot
welding, seam welding and precision
cutting. They are also an option for
medical spring attachment and medical
component assembly, as well as battery
tab welding.
The LF Series offers continuous wave
and modulated fibre laser technology
with both single-mode and multi-mode
options. Featuring a large touchscreen
pendant that enables clear visibility of
process schedule parameters, the LF
Series has an intuitive interface that offers
users quick and easy programming.
All models in the series enable spot
sizes down to 10 microns for thin metal
welding, with welding penetration depth
beyond 4mm (0.16") in metals. Their
power stability provides reliable results.
The new models incorporate the most
recent enhancements to the LF Series,
including a new chiller updated to
accommodate laser engines with up to
1kW of average power. This additional
capacity improves performance in
hot environments. Several other
chiller design changes make routine
maintenance easier.
In addition, the new models feature
improved industrial design, adding
safety and serviceability features.
The back panel has been modified for
improved airflow to extract heat from the
chiller, and the front door and frame have
been updated for improved appearance
and functionality.
