With the DIODE LINE concept, OR Laser enters a new dimension in the field of laser material processing through the use of diode-pumped laser systems. The new concept impresses by offering a number of key advantages over conventional flashlamppumped systems. In addition to the compact design and the extremely long life, diode-pumped laser systems are characterized by their 15 times higher energy efficiency. This not only saves cash, but also provides a valuable contribution to the protection of the environment. A high-voltage connection is no longer required! A normal 230 V outlet is sufficient for operation of the laser system. As there are no wear parts, the system operates practically maintenance-free. The system further convinces through its excellent beam quality even with very small spot sizes down to 50 μm. Thus even the most demanding welding jobs present no problems for the new system. OR Laser offers systems with peak performances up to 3 kW (300 W mean power) with pulse lengths from 0.1 ms to 50 ms at 0.1 to 100 Hz.
