Diode Lasers The new sixth- generation LDF series of high-power diode lasers features increased laser power as well as improvements in beam quality. The LDF series sets new standards for compact fi ber-coupled high-power diode lasers, with up to 25 kW of laser power from a mobile system requiring less than one cubic meter of space. Depending on customer requirements for performance, beam quality, inte- grated cooling, and other features, the devices can be con- fi gured individually within the model series, and the lasers are now available with an integrated Laserline cooling system.

Laser Welding Head The FiberWeld processing head features real-time direct penetration monitoring for precise depth measurement of industrial la- ser processes. Connecting to the process- ing head through a dedicated port, a mea- surement beam with a unique wavelength is coaxially combined with the primary laser beam. The measurement beam is refl ected off the surface being worked back to the sensor unit, where it is processed to mea-
sure depth of penetration. Readings are accurate even while the laser is operating, allowing for real-time measurement and quality control. Output can be fed back into the control system for remediation and full closed-loop operation. Laser Mechanisms Inc. Ph: 248-474-9480 Web site:

maintenance applications. LaserStar micro-welders are an excellent alter- native to traditional microscope GTA welding and produce a high-quality result while reducing the amount of handwork required. Micro-welding with lasers offers several advantages includ- ing minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ), no sink, no distortion or warpage, very precise control of weld location, no discoloration, and the ability to repair a variety of materials including tool steels, aluminum, and copper.

Tough Coating New SuperMax is a proprietary, next-gen- eration coating specifi - cally formulated for punch press tooling. This coating outperforms currently
available premium coatings by 2 to 8 times, depending on the application. Applied using the latest nano-layer technol- ogy, SuperMax’s harder, denser fi lm greatly increases wear resistance and has a much lower friction coeffi cient. Lower friction means less heat buildup, less galling and longer tool life. SuperMax works in a wide range of materials including aluminum, cold rolled, galvanized and stainless steels, vinyl coated and fi berglass. Mate Precision Tooling Ph: 800-328-4492 Web site:

Fiber Lasers The new eX-F Series combines the top-notch construction of the pop- ular eX Series CO2
lasers
and the power and reliability of Mitsubishi’s fi nest fi ber resonator. The 6-kW machine features new Zoom Head technology built into the magnetic head to provide faster processing and the ability to pierce 25-mm-thick plates. In testing, the eX-F has demonstrated signifi cant advantages over the conventional
