A new direct-diode laser system from Coherent Inc. offers higher power, which translates into increased throughput for applications in metal cladding and heat treating.

Coherent Inc. offers a platform reportedly designed to deliver all the benefits of ultrafast laser materials processing at a lower price point than previously available. Specifically, RAPID NX combines the best aspects of Coherent's Talisker and RAPID series lasers, including pulse-on-demand and burst mode operation.

The newest StingRay structured light generating laser from Coherent Inc. offers up to 50 mW of output in the blue (450 nm), making it especially advantageous for machine vision applications based on 3D triangulation that involve darker materials.

The new LaserCam-HR II laser beam diagnostic cameras from Coherent Inc. offer improved performance over the company's original LaserCam-HR.

Coherent Inc. has expanded the company's fiber laser offering with an all new platform capable of delivering output powers to 4 kW and beyond.

A new generation of carbon monoxide (CO) lasers from Coherent Inc. promise enhanced processing characteristics for materials processing applications ranging from glass cutting and via drilling, to fractional skin resurfacing.

Coherent Inc. announces new, higher power, higher brightness 780-830 nm and 975 nm diode laser components for industrial applications.

With its new LASER 4000 5Ax, GF AgieCharmilles now claims to offer the largest laser-texturing machine on the market.
