An industrial laser system is a device that stimulates atoms or molecules to emit light at specific wavelengths, amplifying that light to produce a narrow beam of radiation. Industrial laser systems are used for cutting metals and fabrics, marking tracking codes for industrial traceability, welding metals, cleaning metal surfaces, altering surface roughness, and measuring part dimensions.
The primary types of lasers in industrial laser systems are fiber, solid-state, CO2, and others. Fiber lasers use an optical fiber cable with a doped fiber made of silica glass as a gain medium. Macro processing and micro processing with power ranges less than 1 kW and more than 1.1 kW find applications in cutting, welding, marking, drilling, and other industries such as semiconductors and electronics, automotive, aerospace and defense, medical, and others.
