High Speed Processing with Fiber Lasers, Including Material Handling and Down Stream Considerations

This session will cover the current state of fiber lasers and their expanding capabilities. Game changing technology now enables fiber lasers to cut thick materials at the same speeds and edge quality as CO2 lasers. Technical advances in fiber lasers and how they are evolving at a rapid pace as they become more mainstream will also be covered. The benefits include lower operating cost, faster and more efficient processing, and expanding capabilities such as cutting copper and brass.
