These fiber lasers can be used as general processing tools in the field of industrial production. They show wider applicability than all other laser pointer before, because of their wide power and beam quality, as well as the possibility of flexible beam switching, beam splitting and scanning. Sex. In addition, their efficiency, wavelength and minimum maintenance requirements enable highly economical processing in a large number of industries.
All in all, an important factor for the success of industrial lasers is: from a scientific laboratory device to a product recognized in the industry in terms of maintenance and service requirements. The maintenance period of the first industrial laser is about 1000 hours, and the maintenance work takes about one week. Customers have completely accepted this situation because they only care about this promising new process-new products that can achieve improved, reduce production time, and achieve higher processing quality.
In the following years, issues such as "total cost of ownership" and maintainability became more and more important. In the field of CO2 lasers, the development from transverse flow lasers to fast axial flow lasers has increased the maintenance cycle from 1,000 hours to 2,000 hours, thereby reducing maintenance work.
With the development of diffusion-cooled slab CO2 lasers, it is possible to provide laser products with "very low service and maintenance costs, a maintenance cycle of 3000 hours, and maintenance work that can be completed in only 6 hours." In the field of solid-state green laser pointer, there are big differences in service and maintenance costs from lamp pump products to diode-pumped lasers, and the latest fiber laser technology is almost maintenance-free.
Another important issue is the availability of laser sources in production plants. In the field of CO2 lasers, from cross-flow lasers to slab CO2 lasers and modern fiber lasers, the availability has increased significantly. Nowadays, laser has been regarded as a processing tool, all requirements and industrial standards are like extensible spare parts, serving the global market with 24/7 mode and electronic service capabilities. In addition, providing rapid localization support in all strategic markets is also the key to business success.
