In this article, we will talk about the latest advances in laser technology and intelligent automation. The revolutionary 2μm fiber laser, advanced cutting software, and powerful cutting solutions all mark significant progress for manufacturers around the world.
GW Lasertech’s 2μm laser
GW Lasertech has introduced a revolutionary 2μm fiber laser designed for cutting both non-metals and other materials, including wood, plastic, leather, and even for welding plastics. Available in 500W, 700W, and 1000W power options, these lasers are already featured on the company’s website.
Despite the promised wide compatibility of materials and processing speed, market introduction may face difficulties, since most of the existing optical systems in industrial machines are optimized for laser sources of one micrometer in size. The integration of a new laser may require equipment upgrades and recalibration of the system.
Weihong LS6000 Plus
Weihong has officially unveiled its LS6000 Plus system, an integrated controller and cutting head designed to minimize manual intervention and improve cutting accuracy. Notable features include:
- Intelligent temperature control
- Automatic focus adjustment during long-term operation at high power
- Contour adjustment of air pressure to ensure stable pressure increase
If pressure deviations occur, the system makes adjustments in real time to avoid damage. Users can also adjust settings on the fly, even when performing high-speed micro-seam cutting operations. The LS6000 Plus supports operation with lasers from 20 to 40 kW, which meets the growing industrial demand for powerful solutions.
It is noteworthy that the BOCHU “Smart Distance” system with a capacity of 120 kW and the Riko machine with a capacity of 200 kW once again emphasize the trend towards the use of heavy-duty laser processing technologies.
BOCHU vision remnant reuse & CypNest update
BOCHU has introduced an innovative solution that improves the efficiency of using materials by up to 200%. This system allows manufacturers to recycle scrap and sheet metal residues using advanced contour scanning with a camera and one-click cutting using Sky software.
Manual position adjustment is no longer required due to full integration with the FSCUT8000 control system and the SER NestNote module. BOCHU also collaborates with Wattsan hardware for installation on high-performance machines, which ensures reliable operation with less waste.
