IPG Photonics Launches Six High-Power Diode Laser Solutions Targeted at Industrial Heating and Drying
January 30 2023 - 5:00PM
IPG Photonics Corporation (Nasdaq: IPGP), the world leader in fiber
laser technology, today announced the launch of six high efficiency
diode laser solutions providing numerous advantages over thermal
ovens in industrial heating and drying applications.
Industry-Leading Energy Efficiency
Reduces Cost of Ownership and Environmental Impacts
Six new Diode Laser Solutions (DLS-ECO) from IPG
Photonics were designed to replace less efficient infrared bulbs
and environmentally unfriendly gas-fired furnaces for industrial
heating and drying applications. Extremely high power conversion
efficiency along with exceptionally low impact on the ambient
factory environment make the cost of ownership and return on
investment of a diode heater compelling.
The Next Generation of High-Power Diode
Lasers Has Arrived
These new diode laser sources range in output
power from 3.5 to 40 kW with industry-leading wall plug energy
efficiencies of over 52%. They join IPG’s well-established YLS-ECO
series of lasers which incorporate the most reliable laser diodes
from IPG operating at the highest efficiencies.
A New ‘Cold Furnace’ Paradigm for Drying
Applications
A diode heater operates cold, wasting no energy
warming insulating walls or the factory floor. The 100% solid state
laser directs energy as laser light onto the media being processed.
Between batches the diode heater is off, not idling, so no energy
is consumed when it is not needed.
Laser light dries below the surface providing a
more efficient process than is possible in a thermal convection
oven, meaning a DLS-ECO solution is up to 4X smaller and up to 4X
faster. The open and cold environment is inviting to thermal
metrology enabling tighter process control benefitting from
instantaneous, on-the-fly temperature adjustments. The DLS-ECO is
best suited to dry industrial coatings such as battery slurries,
paint or powder coatings, and are employed when extremely tight
process control is needed, such as semiconductor wafer heating.
High Efficiency Heating for Reduced
Energy Consumption and CO2
Emissions
“IPG is committed to meeting sustainability
targets, and for customers with traditional fossil-fueled furnaces,
these new diode laser heating solutions enable them to quickly and
easily switch to a much more efficient and environmentally friendly
process,” said Trevor Ness, SVP Worldwide Sales and Strategic
Business Development. “Our commitment to continuous innovation
drives new applications for these products in numerous industries
benefiting not only manufacturers with more capability, but each of
us in our daily lives with more sustainable, cleaner
solutions.”
These new Diode Laser Solutions will be unveiled
at Photonics West 2023 in San Francisco in the IPG Booth #327.
