JK Lasers develops 500 W fibre laser
The JK500FL fibre laser is designed to give high cutting speeds combined with good cut quality in materials up to 3 mm thick, which, JK Lasers points out, make up approximately 80% of metal cutting applications. It benefits from 500W CW output powers, single mode beam quality and patented back reflection protection. These features, says the company, enable manufacturers to process a range of materials with high accuracy at a faster rate.
Like other products in the JK FL range, the 500W fibre laser is supplied in a water-cooled, rack-mounted format. Its modular design is fully compatible with the standard range of JK fibre laser process tools for cutting and welding, including the scan head system.
