Adjustable Mode Beam Lasers

The YLS-AMB Adjustable Mode Beam Laser range is a widely used tool in cutting, welding, and additive manufacturing. The range offers a wide selection of dual-beam lasers, which add a secondary ring beam to support a high-intensity core beam. 

Adjustable

 Features 


Available in multi-mode, single-mode and quasi-continuous mode lasers


Welds up to 3 kW in single-mode and up to 50 kW in multi-mode


Dual beam technology for better control over process results


Speeds up welding to more than 10X faster than single beam welding


High-speed aluminium welding with no cracking and excellent welding results


High-speed and high-quality welding for e-mobility applications

LDD-700

LDD-700 is IPG’s real-time laser weld measurement system that uses Inline Coherent Imaging (ICI) for detailed and accurate battery laser weld monitoring. It uses a low-power IR laser beam to gauge distances, which is fired right at the bottom of the keyhole to record depth in real time.

LDD-700

 Features 


Inline coherent imaging technology for better laser welding efficiency


Measures the weld keyhole depth up to 40 mm and above


Produces depth readings with micron-level accuracy


Reduces the cost and inefficiencies of welding defects


Can be integrated with software for better insights and risk management


Works with other IPG fiber lasers and technologies
