Lumentum and Amada Co-Develop 3 kilowatt and 9 kilowatt Class Fiber Lasers
25 Octobre 2016 - 9:01AM
Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”) today announced new, jointly
developed, high-power fiber lasers with Amada Holdings Co., Ltd.
(“Amada”), an industry-leading manufacturer of machine tools for
metal fabrication. Amada will unveil, for the first time, the
LCG-3015AJ (9 kW) laser-cutting machine that incorporates a jointly
developed 9 kilowatt fiber laser at this year’s 2016 EuroBLECH
exhibition in Hannover, Germany. In addition, Amada will showcase a
new laser-based cutting machine tool (ENSIS-3015AJ) and a new
laser-based welding machine tool (FLW-ENSIS M3). Both new 3
kilowatt machine tools include jointly developed 3 kilowatt fiber
lasers and ENSIS Technology -- unique beam control capability which
enables fast cutting and welding of thin-to-thick metals.
“For almost ten years, Lumentum and Amada have collaborated on
developing some of the industry’s most innovative laser solutions
for macromaterials processing,” said Alan Lowe, president and CEO.
“The new fiber lasers are the latest result of our strong
partnership with Amada.”
Higher-power lasers are differentiating elements in
sophisticated machine tools which cut sheets of aluminum, steel and
other metals for the manufacturing of automobiles, aircraft, and
appliances targeted at commercial and consumer markets.
Higher-power lasers are increasingly used for welding, material
deposition (cladding) and large-scale surface treatment
applications.
“Fiber lasers continue to gain momentum over CO2 laser-based
cutting systems for metal processing because of the advantages they
provide that include higher-cutting speeds, improved cutting
quality, increased energy efficiency, and lower maintenance
requirements,” said Alex Schoenfelder, vice president, product line
management, Commercial Lasers. “These benefits, in turn, result in
significantly lower overall costs for metal processing
manufacturers.”
Lumentum will showcase its CORELIGHTTM series fiber laser
products in Hall 16, Stand #F158 at 2016 EuroBLECH. The Amada Group
will showcase its new machine tool products in Hall 12, Stand #D06
and #F06.
