As a leader in high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers, IPG Photonics (Nasdaq: IPGP) announced the launch of the new YLR-U series of near-infrared 1μm fiber lasers. YLR-U series is the world's highest performance industrial-grade kilowatt continuous Ytterbium-doped fiber laser. This laser has the smallest size and lightest weight in the industry, and provides super performance with an ultra-compact size and a record power/volume ratio.

     This series of fiber lasers covers a number of patents and patents pending, and can currently provide up to 4 kW of continuous power, and can reach 8 kW in the near future. The YLR-U series is the world's first rack-mounted 1μm medium power laser, with excellent high continuous power and unique high peak power (HPP) options. In addition to these functions, the laser products provided by IPG also have ideal beam quality, excellent reliability and industry-leading electro-optical conversion efficiency. With a fully sealed frame design, YLR-U series lasers can work in extremely harsh environments (such as relative humidity as high as 90%). For equipment of this level of YLR, with such outstanding capabilities, it was not available in the global market before.

     YLR-U series lasers adopt the latest achievements of IPG Photonics' world-leading industrial pump diode packaging technology. The easy-to-use rack-mount configuration includes various remote control options such as analog, RS-232 or Ethernet. Built-in self-diagnostic function with network connection is the most cost-effective and adaptable solution, which can be easily integrated Into the production line to realize Industry 4.0 intelligent manufacturing. "With the launch of our new ultra-compact YLR-U series, IPG once again raises the leading performance of industrial lasers to a new level." Trevor Ness, senior vice president of IPG global sales and marketing, said: "These solutions are without exception Provide customers with the highest value in the market."

     Like IPG's leading YLR series, YLR-U series lasers are specially designed to handle various metal cutting, welding and drilling applications. In the past year, IPG customers have benefited from the high peak power option, which enables quick and clean repeat piercing and drilling on thicker materials, high-quality cutting, additional pulse welding capabilities, and highly reflective metals Cutting and welding, all of which improve the processing speed and quality. IPG's unique high peak power option improves the quality and speed of the process, thereby improving the overall processing capacity, while saving materials, time and operating costs.
