Close
Where do I purchase beam delivery components for fiber lasers?

IPG now supplies a range of plug and play beam delivery components and machining
heads; these can be quoted either with laser equipment or separately. We offer:

 * custom fiber lengths up to 100 m
 * different process fiber core diameters, wide choice of BPP matching the
   application
 * internal shutters, beam couplers, multi-port switches and shearers
 * collimators, termination optics
 * processing head/ scanner options

Close
Can I use my existing YAG beam delivery components?

In general yes, however you may require an adapter to accept the IPG fiber
connector. In some instances you may want to increase the focal length to take
full advantage of the processing advantages that fiber lasers offer.

Close
Can these lasers be integrated to my current work cell?

Yes, all IPG fiber lasers have a wide choice of industrial interfaces and can be
easily interfaced to standard industrial controls.

Close
Are there integrators that can supply my company with a turn-key system?

Yes, there are many other system builders who have successfully built turn-key
systems using fiber lasers for a number of years.  IPG now also offers complete
laser systems and sub-systems. IPG can supply a list of integrators and OEMs
that can provide a turn-key solution that match the customer requirement.

Close
Do fiber lasers come with a warranty?

IPG offers the longest warranties in the industry: the typical warranty for
standard fiber lasers is for a full 3 years after shipment.  Some non-standard
lasers and accessories may have different warranties. IPG also offers extended
warranties. Contact your sales person for details.

Close
Where do I go to see if fiber lasers can meet my requirements?

IPG has extensive application development facilities at 14 locations around the
world. In addition, various institutes and universities in North America, Europe
and Asia are available for advanced research in applications development with
fiber laser technology.

Close
Your competition claims that back-reflection is a problem with fiber lasers. Is
this true?

These statements come from people not familiar with fiber laser technology. Our
multi-kilowatt low mode fiber lasers are not susceptible to back reflection
issues if the appropriate delivery fiber is utilized. With single-mode lasers
they in most cases do not have a problem, unless highly reflective materials are
processed. However, if the back reflection is too high, the units sense the
reflection and automatically shut down. The addition of an isolator eliminates
this issue. IPG have numerous units in the field cutting and welding highly
reflective material such as copper and aluminum on a production basis.

Close
Why do other manufactures quote lower life times on their diode bars?

Diode bars (AKA as monolithic laser diode arrays) are made up of multiple
emitters arranged in parallel in one crystal. Because of the high heat density
in the junction area and strong thermal crosstalk between the emitters
comprising the bars diode arrays must be mounted on copper with soft solder
(Indium) and be water-cooled. High-speed and high pressure water flow through
tiny gold coated channels in the copper (called micro-channel coolers) provides
aggressive cooling. However the water in the system must be kept extremely clean
and be PH neutral as these channels are prone to failure due to cavitation and
erosion in a relatively short period of time. Keeping water quality to the
specification is extremely challenging task in any, especially in industrial,
environment. Copper heatsink and diode bar semiconductor are very dissimilar
materials, including coefficient of thermal expansion. Under real world
operating conditions, frequent on-off cycles, the performance of bars tends to
deteriorate much faster than under constant driving current which bar
manufacturers use mostly to characterize their devices.

The other source of frequent bars’ failure is in the semiconductor diode bar
itself; lifetime of the bar is usually determined by the reliability of its
“weakest” emitter. In order to improve performance and to boost heatsinking bars
are often get attached to micro-channel coolers with high heat conductive soft
solder, indium. Under high driving current operation indium is known to migrate
through bar metallization into semiconductor material thus causing its sudden
instantaneous failure.

Many manufacturers of diode bars pro rate the warranty based on hours used. IPG
have always used single emitter diode laser pumps manufactured entirely
in-house, these are mounted on a heat sink with the same coefficient of thermal
expansion as the diode chip. IPG uses telecom-qualified hard solder which is
free of electro-migration defects. Depending upon the size of the fiber laser,
IPG diodes are either air-cooled with high speed fans or are water-cooled
through stainless steel pipes beneath the heat sink. There is no direct contact
with water coolant. The diode light is delivered via fiber and is delivered
directly to the active medium and spliced thus eliminating an air to active
medium interface that can be a source of contamination. The lifetime of the
single emitter diodes depends on the current they are operated at. Industrial
IPG pump diodes are run at a current levels for expected lietimes of several
years. IPG Photonics diodes are not pro-rated and are covered for the complete
warranty period of the fiber laser or amplifier.

Close
How can you be so confident that your diodes have this life-time?

IPG Photonics tests 100% of their diodes before they are certified for a laser
or amplifier. Duration of the test generally is longer than 1,500 hours when
diodes are operated at stressed conditions, greatly elevated temperature and
current. If the diodes pass this test with no drop off in power they are
certified for usage in our devices. Whether the diode is used for a 10 kW fiber
laser for materials processing or a broad band fiber amplifier for telecom,
similar procedures are followed. IPG is now the largest manufacturer of single
emitter multi-mode diodes with the most extensive diode test facility in the
world. With over 10,000 high power fiber lasers in use in production
applications around the world, some of which have been in operation for over 10
years, IPG has the experience and statistical data to support its statements
regards diode lifetime.


Close
Why is IPG fully vertically integrated?

There are three main reasons:

 * Many of the components used by IPG are not available on the open market or do
   not meet the stringent requirements required for high power fiber lasers.
 * Vertical integration allows IPG to better optimize components for our unique
   systems, to respond quickly to customer requests and to bring product to
   market rapidly.
 * Finally, it allows IPG to closely control cost to maximize the benefit to our
   customers.

Close
How do you focus a fiber laser?

It is quite simple. With a fiber laser the procedure is to image the output of
the fiber on the work piece. The spot size is equal to the fiber diameter x the
magnification ratio of your collimator and final focus lens. For example, if the
fiber diameter is 50 microns and you use a 60 mm focal length collimator and a
300 mm final focus lens the final spot size is SS= 50x 300/60= 250 microns. The
fiber diameter, collimator and final focus lenses can all be changed to obtain
the appropriate spot size. The spot size will not vary as a function of power
over the complete dynamic range of 5% to 105% of rated power. With a single mode
laser the spot size at the work will be Gaussian and with a low order mode laser
top hat.

Close
Can the same fiber laser both cut and weld?

The same fiber laser can do cutting, welding, drilling and cladding. Many
customers have purchased a fiber laser with a 2-way, 4-way or 6-way beam switch.
For example, one leg will have a 100 micron fiber for cutting, a 200 micron for
welding and 400 or higher for cladding or annealing. The power can be changed to
a different level and switched to a new delivery fiber in a matter of
milliseconds. Delivery fiber can support multiple work stations of up to 200
meters apart.

Close
Why are fiber lasers more efficient than other solid state and gas lasers?

The answer is simple – the design of fiber lasers generates less heat and
manages the heat they generate effectively. The quantum defect (that is the
difference between pump and emission energy) is lesser for a Ytterbium
diode-pumped fiber laser (pumped at 980 nm) than a Nd:YAG diode pumped laser
(pumped at 808 nm). Also, the optical to optical conversion efficiency of fiber
laser is typically 70-80%, as compared with approximately 4% for lamp pumped
YAGs, and approximately 40% for diode-pumped YAGs and disk lasers. Because the
light is always contained in a fiber, there are no additional sources of the
loss inside the laser cavity.

Close
How much can I save if I switch to fiber lasers?

Users can save significant savings from using fiber lasers in their production.
The amount you can save depends upon many things including your current process,
materials, production environment, electrical and labor costs. Here are some of
the savings:

a. Higher Wall-plug Efficiency: Fiber lasers have unrivaled efficiency when
compared to existing conventional laser technologies:

Type Wall-plug Efficiency Fiber Laser Ytterbium (Yb) 40%+ (>50% for ECO Series)
Lamp-pumped YAG 1.5-2% Diode-pumped YAG 10-20% Disc 15-25% CO2 5-10%

Energy Savings Calculator

b. Cooling: The efficiency of the fiber laser also contributes to lower cooling
requirements, which contributes to lower electrical usage. Lower power fiber
lasers require only air-cooling. Higher power fiber laser require water-cooling
that is generally more simple and less costly than for equivalent alternative
laser technologies. Cooling also depends upon your particular production
environment.

c. Consumables/Replacement Parts: Because of the highly efficient design of
fiber lasers (better thermal management) and the use of telecom-grade single
emitter pump diodes in our fiber lasers, you can save on replacement parts (such
as lamps and diode bars), labor and production down time. Many lamps and diode
bars used in YAGs have estimated lifetimes of 2,000 hours and 20,000 hours,
respectively. These are a fraction of the MTBF of IPG’s single emitter diodes of
> 100,000 hours which mean that for the life of the fiber laser, you should not
have to replace the diodes. In the all solid-state fiber-to-fiber design of
IPG’s lasers, you save even further because there are no optics to adjust or
maintain, such as resonators mirrors, crystals, fluids and filters, as in
conventional lasers.

d. Maintenance: Fiber lasers require no or low maintenance, depending on the
output powers and other factors, as compared to conventional lasers. There are
no optics to align and no warm up-times, as well as consumables/replacement
parts. As a result, you can save substantial sums on maintenance.

e. Capital costs: With fiber lasers, the same laser can cut, weld and drill,
allowing you to lower your investment costs as compared to purchasing and
maintaining different lasers and laser systems for each of these functions.

f. Tax Savings:  

Section 179 of the US tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase
price of qualifying equipment and/or software purchased or financed during the
tax year. That means that if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment,
you can deduct the FULL PURCHASE PRICE from your gross income. It's an incentive
created by the U.S. Government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and
invest in themselves.  See the latest information on Capital purchases, bonus
depreciation in Section 179.

Now is the time to purchase an IPG fiber laser, fiber laser system or retrofit
your old laser source with a new energy-efficient fiber laser. The U.S.
Government has sent some stimulus your way in the form of the Section
179 deduction; please consult Section 179 website for more details as available.
