IPG fiber laser giant launches new product

Image
Recently, American fiber laser giant IPG Photonics announced the launch of a new laser designed specifically for the additive manufacturing field. This series of lasers incorporates IPG's original dual-beam technology , which is capable of independently regulating and emitting both core and ring beams simultaneously, thus setting a new benchmark in terms of precision, efficiency and reliability.   Relying on its deep heritage in the field of high-power lasers, IPG has launched two new dual-beam rack lasers, the YLR-1000/3000-AMB and the YLR-2000/2000-AMB. The new YLR-AMB series of lasers are built specifically for the additive manufacturing industry and offer the following unique advantages:   Leap in productivity: The YLR-1000/3000-AMB lasers can build materials such as Ti-6Al-4V at rates up to 324 cm³/h and at densities exceeding 99.9%;   Versatile processing capability: Combining single-mode and multimode outputs with a total power of up to 4 kW provides diverse proces...

Fiber Lasers vs. Solid-State Lasers: What’s the Difference?

In today's rapidly changing laser technology, solid-state lasers and fiber lasers as the two mainstream laser products, each in industrial production, scientific research, military applications and other areas to show the unique charm and advantages. First, the technical principle and performance differences 1.  Gain medium   Fiber laser (Fiber Laser) is used as a rare earth element doped glass fiber gain medium. Under the action of pump light, high power density is formed in the fiber, resulting in the reversal of the number of particles in the laser energy level, and generate laser oscillations through the positive feedback loop of the resonant cavity. Fiber lasers are compact, do not require complex cooling systems, and the flexibility of the fiber makes it more advantageous in multi-dimensional spatial processing applications.   At the heart of a fiber laser is the optical fiber, a flexible, hair-thin glass or plastic filament known for its ability to direct light ove...

In recent years, with the development of laser processing technology and the intensification of homogeneous competition in the laser industry, miniaturization has increasingly become one of the important trends in the development of fiber lasers. Miniaturization not only means a more compact structure and lighter weight, but also represents a higher degree of integration, which can more easily realize the automation and intelligence of industrial production, which is crucial for improving production efficiency, reducing operating costs, and enhancing market competitiveness. At the same time, the miniaturization trend of fiber lasers is also accompanied by reduced energy consumption and heat, which perfectly fits the current global green and environmental protection development concept. Multi-scenario application of miniaturized cleaning lasers Miniaturized cleaning lasers are widely used in many scenarios, such as rust removal, paint removal, oil removal, precision manufacturing, and c...

With the continuous improvement of the packaging requirements of artificial intelligence chips, many head enterprises are carrying out advanced packaging technology updates and iterations, in the packaging material innovation, a glass substrate is currently the most popular. Glass material's high stability, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high-frequency electrical characteristics, low cost, superior airtightness and corrosion resistance, etc., resulting in it is expected to replace the silicon-based rotary plate packaging materials. Moreover, the glass substrate has been successfully applied to Micro LED, MEMS, AiP, IPD, and other fields. One of the core processes of the glass substrate is the preparation of TGV (Through glass Via), TGV technology needs to take into account the cost, speed, and quality requirements. One of the main constraints to the development of glass through-hole technology is the TGV hole-forming technology, which needs to meet a series of requirements s...
