JK Lasers will be exhibiting at Laser World of Photonics this year as the exhibition celebrates its 40^th anniversary.  The show runs alongside the World of Photonics Congress and saw great success in 2011 when the Messe Münchenhosted 1,075 exhibitors and over 27,000 visitors.

A powerful 3kW fiber laser has been launched by global industrial laser manufacturer JK Lasers, part of the GSI Group. The new addition to the company’s Watt to kiloWatt fiber laser range will help enhance manufacturing productivity by processing thicker section metals at faster speeds and to higher standards.

Fiber lasers are a precision material processing tool used for a diverse range of applications from the manufacture of small, intricate medical devices to flat sheet cutting thick section metals. To ensure these parts are manufactured to the highest possible standards, the laser operator precisely controls the intensity on the target. Parameters such as pulse energy and the temporal profile are easily controlled.

The processing advantages of fiber lasers will be showcased by JK Lasers when it makes its debut appearance at The Battery Show, Detroit, between 13 and 15 November.

A flatbed laser cutting machine integrated with a 400W fiber laser from JK Lasers has been awarded a gold medal and diploma at the 2012 International Technical Fair in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

JK Lasers’ new 2kW fiber laser will be displayed on booth 2028 at the Lasers for Manufacturing Event (LME), held on 23 and 24 October in Schaumberg, Illinois, USA.

To reinforce its long and successful history, the GSI Group Laser Division has rebranded as JK Lasers. The company, which marked its 40^th anniversary earlier this year, remains committed to developing and manufacturing class leading Nd:YAG and fiber lasers for industrial applications.

The JK System 5000 is a versatile multi-axis laser workstation that has been specifically designed to seamlessly integrate with JK fiber and lamp pumped lasers.

Many products are manufactured from reflective materials. Electric car batteries contain copper, jewellery is commonly made from silver and gold, and even the 2012 Olympic torch is manufactured from aluminium.  

To celebrate Independence Day on 4 July, global industrial laser manufacturer JK Lasers has ablated a celebratory message using a 400W single mode, continuous wave fiber laser and scan head.
