Abstract
Besides the CO2 Laser technology, solid state laser technology becomes the most used laser technology in production and manufacturing processes. Today, direct Diode laser are known for high wall plug efficiency, whereas Disk laser and Fiber laser technology are commonly used for applications demanding high laser beam quality and high laser output power. Another generation of laser is the ultra short pulsed lasers, also known as ultrafast lasers. Ultrafast laser technology has matured from complex laboratory sources to versatile industrial tools for cutting, drilling and structuring of an almost unlimited variety of materials. These ultrafast lasers open a new variety of applications and possibilities to process even new materials. To elicit high performance of laser, it is need to develop peripheral equipments and processing know-how. With this paper we would also like to introduce technology development of TRUMPF’s laser and peripheral equipments.
