Laserline increases the power of the blue laser to 4kW

At this year's LASER World of Photonics exhibition in Munich, Germany, Laserline showcased its new blue laser performance: the power was further increased to 4kW. It is reported that after the power increase, the welding and additive manufacturing process of copper components will become more energy-efficient and fast.

Compared to the infrared wavelength of standard fiber lasers, copper exhibits a particularly high absorption rate at the blue wavelength (approximately 5 times its value), which makes blue lasers particularly attractive for electric vehicle production. They can be used to create almost perfect porous melting pools.

The new 4kW LDM blue laser is mainly designed for the additive manufacturing of copper components, representing the highest power industrial laser in the current blue wavelength.

Ilona Rusyaeva, Content Marketing Manager at Laserline, said, "We can weld copper using a (4kW LDM blue laser) with almost no holes or splashes, so we can work very efficiently and save resources

Laserline has also improved the manufacturing process of its blue laser, allowing it to permanently reduce market prices while increasing production. The company stated that this can make the application of blue lasers in the industrial field more attractive.

The application range of Laserline blue lasers is constantly expanding. In addition to the aforementioned 4kW laser equipment, Laserline will also showcase a new 200W pulsed blue diode laser for semiconductor applications.
