Types of Fiber Laser Accessories
Continuous Wave (CW) Lasers
IPG offers a wide selection of continuous wave (CW) fiber lasers that can be integrated into laser systems, ranging in power from 10 W to tens of kilowatts. The primary use of CW lasers is to have the beam turned on for extended periods of time for continuous processing. However, IPG CW lasers can also be modulated at frequencies from a few kHz up to tens of kHz to provide pulsed laser processing in millisecond to microsecond pulse duration regime if required.
Quasi Continuous Wave (QCW) Lasers
IPG Quasi Continuous Wave (QCW) fiber lasers produce peak power 10 times greater in pulsed mode than when operating in CW mode, providing Joules of energy at pulse durations from 10 microseconds to 100 milliseconds. This makes QCW lasers ideal for high precision welding, fine cutting and drilling applications where high pulse energy is required to initiate or sustain laser-material coupling, but where parts may be sensitive to the heat produced in CW processing.
Pulsed Nanosecond Lasers
IPG offers pulsed nanosecond lasers spanning pulse durations from 1 to >1000 ns ranging in average output power from 10 W to 5 kW.
The laser beam quality can be optimized for fine micromachining or high speed surface treatment applications such as ablation, cleaning and texturing. The lasers span the wavelength range from ultraviolet and green to mid-infrared. Adjustable pulse duration options and variety of beam delivery, such as 2D and 3D scanners greatly enhance their versatility.
Ultrafast Lasers
In micromachining applications requiring small heat affected zone ultrashort pulse duration lasers are frequently used. Building on well-established expertise in pulsed fiber laser technology, IPG Photonics has developed ultrafast fiber lasers designed for precision micro-materials processing. IPG ultrafast fiber lasers utilize the intrinsic advantages of fiber laser technology allowing the most robust and cost effective laser tools. IPG ultrafast fiber lasers increase micro-machining throughout, improve reliability and eliminate cost barriers to ownership.
Adjustable Mode Beam (AMB) Lasers
YLS-AMB Adjustable Mode Beam Lasers provide independent programmable adjustment of the output beam mode to any combination of a small-spot high intensity bright core to a larger ring-shaped beam allows processing a wider range of material thicknesses and optimizes welding and cutting performance. Welding with AMB laser virtually eliminates spatter, reduces cracking and improves the overall finish. AMB lasers also provide better kerf quality when cutting thick mild steel.
High Peak Power (HPP) Lasers
The High Peak Power (HPP) option on YLR and YLS lasers enables running a CW laser in pulsed mode with up to 2X increase in peak power in comparison with CW average power. High Peak Power provides advanced processing capabilities for faster piercing, increased output quality, repeatability and waste reduction. HPP increases overall processing speeds, repeatedly drills clean holes and delivers high quality cuts of intricate parts with fine features while reducing overall laser power requirements. HPP also enhances drilling capabilities by allowing clean, controlled drilling in thicker materials. For cutting applications, this means shorter lead-ins and denser part nesting, which reduces material cost and waste.

Can a fiber laser engrave wood?
Fiber lasers use high-intensity beams of light to vaporize the wood surface, leaving behind a permanent mark. The laser energy heats the wood, causing it to vaporize and create an engraved pattern. The depth of the engraving can be controlled, allowing for deep grooves or shallow markings, depending on the desired effect.
One of the advantages of using a fiber laser for wood engraving is the ability to achieve fine details and intricate designs. The high precision of the laser beam allows for crisp and clear marks, even on small or detailed surfaces. Furthermore, the engraving is permanent, as the laser marks are resistant to fading and wear over time.
Different types of wood respond differently to laser engraving. Hardwoods such as oak and cherry generally produce a more pronounced contrast between the engraved area and the wood surface. Softer woods like pine, on the other hand, may produce a more subtle contrast. However, with proper techniques and settings, a fiber laser can be used to engrave almost any type of wood.
How thick can a Fiber Laser Accessories cut?
Fibre lasers are a type of solid-state laser that use a fibre optic cable to deliver the laser beam to the cutting head. They are widely used in industrial applications, such as metal cutting and welding, due to their high precision and efficiency. One of the key factors that determine the cutting capabilities of a fibre laser is the thickness of the material that can be cut.
The thickness that a fibre laser can cut depends on several factors, including the power and wavelength of the laser, the type of material being cut, and the cutting speed. In general, a higher power laser can cut thicker material, while a shorter wavelength laser can cut finer details. The type of material being cut also plays a role in determining the thickness that can be cut, with softer materials generally being easier to cut than harder materials.
In practical terms, a fibre laser can typically cut metal plates up to around 25mm thick with a power of 4-6 kW. However, some advanced machines can achieve even greater cutting capacity, with some able to cut through plates up to 40mm thick. It is important to note that these capabilities may vary depending on the specific machine and cutting conditions.
In addition to thickness, it is also important to consider the quality of the cut. A fibre laser can produce a very high-quality cut with minimal heat distortion and a narrow kerf width, which is particularly important for precision cutting applications. However, achieving these results requires careful selection of the cutting parameters and attention to details such as laser beam focus and nozzle alignment.
