• 1 kW fiber-delivered direct-diode system designed for industrial applications

    Coherent has introduced its first, fiber-delivered 1 kW direct-diode laser system for industrial applications. In a highly reliable design based on closed-loop cooling, the HighLight 1000F offers a flexible, mobile solution for today's industrial applications. It is a high brightness system that produces 1 kW of output at 975 nm from a 600-µm-core fiber having a numerical aperture of 0.22.

    Coherent has introduced its first, fiber-delivered 1 kW direct-diode laser system for industrial applications. In a highly reliable design based on closed-loop cooling, the HighLight 1000F offers a flexible, mobile solution for today's industrial applications. It is a high brightness system that produces 1 kW of output at 975 nm from a 600-µm-core fiber having a numerical aperture of 0.22. Applications include welding, cladding, and heat treating of a wide range of metals and alloys. The fiber coupling allows the kW power to be delivered directly to the workpiece – either 180° around a part or at angles, and the laser can be placed up to 50 m from the application. Its compact design makes it ideal for robotic applications and it is well suited for beam switching at multiple workstations.
