Laser Machines & Components

A new, lightweight, compact processing head from the Coherent division formerly known as LASAG is optimized for industrial laser applications where space is limited and minimum mass is required. Specifically, the new FLBK40 is a modular beam delivery system, including a variety of collimators, focusing lenses, cameras, camera adapters and an IR illuminator, that can be rapidly configured by the user as needed to deliver optimum performance for a wide range of fiber laser-based cutting, welding or drilling applications.

PI (Physik Instrumente) LP announces a new compact closed-loop motion controller. The new E-871.1A1N digital servo controller is the latest model in a series of drivers and controllers specifically designed for inertia-motor based opto-mechanical actuators (piezo ratchet drives) that are widely used in the semiconductor, laser and photonics industry for fine-tuning of complex systems.

The design team at Automation Alternatives knew that in order for a system to be truly cost-effective, it had to combine highly efficient technology with user-friendly operation. According to the company, the RubyLaser FLC does just that and more.

Jenoptik offers JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM, a laser robot system for 3D metalcutting of chassis components for the automotive industry. Compared to conventional machining methods, the noncontact laser process minimizes machining times by eliminating the setup time and also reduces the costs associated with tool wear.

MC Machinery’s fiber laser offering has expanded to include another option in laser-cutting technology. The new SR-F series from Mitsubishi features a 3m by 1.5m footprint with many of the features and options that are popular in its eX-F laser.

BEA Lasers has announced the availability of its OEM line of lasers for demanding applications, ideal for use in Medical and other OEM applications. BEA lasers are designed for use in levelling, alignment and positioning.

BEA Lasers has announced the availability of its newly designed GPL line of lasers for use in light industrial applications. The GPL series laser diode module system is best suited for general-purpose, medium-duty applications.

An advanced optical cleaning kit is being offered for private labeling to manufacturers and distributors of lasers, cameras and other types of vision systems by Laser Research Optics.
