Industrial Lasers
The Five Main Types of Lasers
Different types of lasers are needed for different applications. Based on their gain medium, lasers are classified into five main types: gas lasers, solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, liquid lasers (dye lasers), and semiconductor lasers (laser diodes).
What is an Industrial Laser and How Does it Work?
For a lot of people, lasers are small boxes that shoot red dots, which drive cats crazy. But in fact, laser systems are used in many manufacturing processes.
Fiber Lasers: Everything You Need to Know
Fiber lasers are everywhere in the modern world. Due to the different wavelengths they can generate, they are widely used in industrial environments to perform cutting, marking, welding, cleaning, texturing, drilling and a lot more.
How to Move the Marking Operation in the Casting Plant
To move the marking operation near the casting machine, you probably need to change or upgrade your marking system. Why is that? Most marking systems aren’t made to operate in casting plants.
CO2 vs. Fiber Laser - Which One Should You Buy?
If you’re looking to mark metal, what you need to buy is a fiber laser. If you’re looking to mark organic materials like textile, wood, or cardboard, a CO2 laser is the best choice.
