The JK System 5000 is a flexible workstation that can be integrated with lasers from the JK fibre and Nd:YAG ranges. With a variety of customisable options including linear and rotary axes, process tools and scan heads, and proprietary software for closely coupling motion and laser control, it provides a highly versatile solution for many industrial cutting, welding and drilling applications.
A 400W modulated, air-cooled
JK fibre laser will be integrated into the system, to demonstrate a combined metal cutting and welding operation on a single part, made from a material that is typically used for industrial applications.
This mid-power, air- cooled fibre laser is suited to a wide variety of industrial manufacturing and precision
applications. It can be used with a selection of JK processing heads and combines single-mode fibre beam delivery, high efficiency and patented processing technologies, without requiring a cooling water supply for operation.
JK Lasers also plan to launch a new addition to the JK fibre laser range. The new JK500FL will enable manufacturers to process a range of materials with high accuracy, at a quicker rate. Similarly to the other products in the range, the 500W fibre laser will require minimal maintenance and will be supplied in a rack-mounted format, providing enhanced efficiency in the workplace.

Klastech laser technologies will showcase the new Concerto 442nm laser. Previewed as a prototype in 2010, this laser is
now entering serial production with output powers available in excess of 100mW. With its superb Gaussian beam quality and ultra low-noise signature the Concerto brings new alternatives for the bio-fluorescence market at this important wavelength. This laser also offers inherent single frequency performance making it also ideal for Raman and other spectroscopy applications where diode lasers typically lack the necessary narrow line width. For those applications requiring long coherence lengths that are still reliant on large He-Cd lasers, this new product also offers >100m coherence length making it ideal for holography, disc mastering and rapid prototyping applications.

With many years’ production experience in the manufacture of avalanche photodiodes (APDs), laser components will be exhibiting the new Count range of silicon Geiger- mode photon counters. Also displayed will be APD modules with 450nm to 1,100nm reach through technology, the mini high voltage ABC550 series of DC/DC converters for optimum APD performance, and a complementary range of pulsed laser diodes (PLDs) offering greater than 220W optical power at 905nm. In addition there will
be laser optics, optical filters, photodiodes, laser diodes and modules, fibre optics, and a range of accessory items including laser goggles, IR converter cards and electronic modules. Also on display will be a selection of pyroelectric, lead salt and thermopile detectors and beam power and energy meters. The company now offers ion beam sputtering coating, producing very durable and high damage threshold coatings and very smooth homogeneous drift- free layers.

laser Beam products, the largest manufacturer of infrared mirrors in the UK, will be in Munich this year to exhibit its range of mirrors used worldwide in fibre laser applications and many others. The mirrors on show – manufactured from copper, gold, silicon, molybdenum, tungsten and stainless steel – have excellent broad reflectivity across the infrared range and are ideal for use in many infrared applications. They are resistant to harsh environments, including infrared counter measures. LBP is also regularly saving customers thousands of pounds by repairing mirrors damaged due to exposure to chemicals and harsh environments, to a condition that is as good as new. A range of ‘before’ and ‘after’ mirrors will be exhibited.

laser Quantum will have numerous lasers on display including several European launches of new products, such as the Finesse laser, which now has a higher power of 12W, while at 532nm still maintains incredible low noise, stability and M2
of <1.1. Along with the 36 electro optIcs l MAY 2011
Finesse, Laser Quantum will be launching the Opus, a rugged and compact high-power 523nm laser, which now achieves 4W of power. Laser Quantum will also be displaying new lasers in a variety of wavelengths, ranging from 473nm towards 660 and 671nm, with exciting news of a new 594nm Tau laser which, like its predecessor the Tau 532nm, is an OEM ready, high-volume laser.

laser support services will be showing its fully interlocked laser safety screens, which connect together within seconds, and allow for a truly controlled area to be established within minutes. This approach to laser safety brings true flexibility to the open plan laser laboratory or laser job-shop. Another exciting product from Honeywell, (formerly Sperian) is the optical table barrier, which can be fitted to the edge of the optical table preventing stray light exiting to the sides. An optional extra is the top cover, which provides for a safe environment within the laboratory and a cleaner environment on the table. Other products on display will include Electrooptic IR viewers and cameras, mounts and positioning items from Standa and National Aperture, safety eyewear from Honeywell and laser curtains from Rockwell Laser Industries.
