IPG Presents New Technologies, Products and Solutions for E-Mobility Manufacturing, Materials Processing and Specialized Applications at Laser World of Photonics
June 22 2023 - 9:00AM
IPG Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IPGP) will highlight new
and innovative fiber laser solutions at LASER World of Photonics on
June 27 – 30, 2023 in Munich, Germany. The 400+ m2 booth displays
include a staggering range of laser sources, laser system
demonstrations, and integrated solutions along with numerous
showcases full of application samples.
Powering E-Mobility Manufacturing with
High-Productivity Laser Technologies
Building off an already impressive offering of
dual-beam fiber lasers, IPG introduces new adjustable mode beam
(AMB) sources which enable higher-precision, and higher-quality
processing for EV applications. Available as either single-mode
(with the highest beam quality in the world) or multi-mode
configurations with dynamic and independent control of the core and
ring beams, these flexible laser sources enable high-speed,
spatter-free welding for the most sensitive and critical components
across the EV battery manufacturing process. Additionally, new
air-cooled AMB laser sources with quasi-continuous wave (QCW)
capability provide pulses of 10X peak power for processing
sensitive materials with low heat input and low operating
costs.
AMB lasers are being implemented globally in
increasing numbers due to their performance, productivity and
reduction of defects. Many essential EV manufacturing processes
rely on AMB lasers, which have become the technology of choice for
high-speed welding of cells to busbars for all battery types,
cap-to-can joining, and thin dissimilar metals welding as just a
few of the many examples benefiting from this advanced laser
technology.
“Cold Oven” Laser Diode Heating Replaces
Traditional Furnace Drying Infrastructure
Designed to replace less efficient infrared bulb
and convection drying furnaces, IPG’s new high-power laser diode
sources enable dramatically faster heating and drying while
delivering drastically higher energy efficiencies reducing the cost
of ownership. The compelling benefits of IPG’s novel diode thermal
processing is lower waste heat generation, up to 4X smaller
footprint, and the ability to introduce thermal metrology for
tighter process control. These advantages make IPG laser diode
heaters an obvious choice for drying applications of battery
slurries, paint coatings and even semiconductor wafer heating.
High-Efficiency Laser Sources to Meet
High Sustainability Targets
IPG delivers on its commitment to produce the
most efficient lasers in the industry with the introduction of new
ECO series high-efficiency laser sources, providing reliable high
power which lowers overall production costs with fast return on
investment. With over 50% energy efficiency, these sources help
manufacturers meet their sustainability targets to reduce energy
consumption and CO2 emissions without sacrificing quality or
throughput. Available in racks and cabinets, newer ultra-compact
ECO fiber lasers complement the advanced product line and pack in
high power and high efficiency into smaller form factors for
simpler and more flexible factory integrations.
Remote Welding with Real-Time Laser Weld
Measurement Increases Quality
Industrially designed, compact and lightweight
remote welding heads boast the highest laser power handling in the
industry providing ultra-stable welding processes across the full
power range. Combined with LDD real-time weld measurement, these
welding solutions help manufacturers reduce their reliance on
costly and time-consuming destructive testing of parts to determine
weld quality. Real-time weld measurement provides unmatched quality
assurance with pre-, post- and in-process weld analysis on every
weld of every part enabling effective rework and ensuring only
parts within specifications receive further investment in
subsequent assembly steps.
New Central Control Unit and Laser
Processing Software Greatly Simplifies Integration and
Programming
Simplified connectivity and control are now
available through a new single interface which directly connects
laser sources, beam delivery, computers, weld measurement and other
key controls to the wider manufacturing execution systems (MES).
This plug-and-play architecture both eases and speeds up the
installation of components while simplifying setup and operation of
the laser application.
New releases of software suites with vastly
expanded functionality enable faster programming of remote welding
applications even for fully automated on-the-fly processes. IPG
software is designed to provide powerful features with a simple and
intuitive user interface for remote processing applications
including cutting, welding, cleaning and marking.
