Reliable Performance Under the Toughest Conditions
Maximum Precision in Continuous Operation
In industrial laser technology, processes such as cutting, welding, drilling, and surface treatment demand exceptional durability and precision. Therefore, optical fibers must withstand high energy densities, continuous motion, and tight bending radii without compromising performance.
Our optical fibers for industrial laser applications are specifically engineered for these conditions. As a result, they ensure reliable beam delivery with minimal transmission loss, even under continuous operation and high power levels.
Moreover, specialized requirements such as square beam profiles or beam homogenization can be implemented with high precision. This enables stable and reproducible processing results, even in demanding industrial environments.
Typical Applications
- Laser cutting of metals, plastics and composites
- Laser drilling of precision components
- Laser surface treatment (hardening and structuring processes)
- Material processing with high-power laser systems in continuous operation
- Beam transformation and homogenization
