Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Higher investment cost is compensated by:
- Wall plug efficiency > 30% results in lower operating costs for powering
the laser and the chiller
- Less maintenance: no mirrors in fiber optical path and solid state laser
Laser beam quality:
- High beam quality allows longer focal lengths and smaller spot size
- Stable beam quality over the full power range
New applications:
- Cutting copper and other highly reflective materials
