IPG Photonics has delivered the first 10kW fibre laser in the Canadian market to The Centre Spécialisé de Technologie Physique du Québec (CSTPQ). This laser, the most powerful of its kind in Canada, will be dedicated to applied R&D, and to technology transfer towards manufacturing companies.
IPG claims that its industrial single-mode and multi-mode lasers enable research institutes to push beyond the boundaries of current laser materials processing regimes. IPG stated that CSTPQ required a high beam quality, power density, flexibility, durability, and 'no-nonsense' on-demand performance and reliability, and that the company was able to meet these needs while offering the best value available.
