Customers worldwide appreciate the
modular design, high efficiency and
maximum reliability of our lasers at low
maintenance and operating costs. The
Laserline beam converter technology
opens up new application fields for
diode lasers.
Precision applications
Many developments for precision machining, such as
remote welding applications, require industrial-grade
beam sources with high power and high brilliance.
Here the Laserline beam converter concept sets
benchmarks and perfectly combines the modularity,
practicality and cost effectiveness of LDF diode lasers
with high beam qualities.
Brilliance by transformation
The beam converter is a technical enhancement of
the proven LDF core technology with directly cooled
laser diodes. Starting from a standard diode laser, a
laser beam at medium beam quality is first focused into
an active fiber – the converter. The converter module
transforms the brilliance of the laser beam. In contrast
to LDF systems without beam converter, the wavelength
changes only slightly and is about 1,080 nm. Different
configurations thus enable an output power of up to 8 kW
with brilliant beam quality of 4, 6 or 8 mm mrad.
System modularity
With the latest Laserline LDF system design modularity,
reliability and ease of maintenance are pursued
consistently. Laser power, beam quality, the number
of beam switches, cooling and auxiliary components
can be configured individually and adapted to changing
requirements. All system data are monitored and
collected by the central control unit. The operation and
evaluation can be done with the mobile control panel
directly on the laser, via network connection in a control
center, as well as over secured remote access.

> Fiber-coupled laser with 8000 W laser power
> High beam quality of up to 4 mm mrad
> Compact and economical design
> Based on proven LDF core technology
> 5 years warranty on laser diodes
Equipped with a dust and humidity protection unit, the
LDF system with beam converter can be used in multi-
shift mode without failure, even under hostile ambient
conditions such as high humidity or excessive metal dust
content. The practical and robust system concept of
the LDF product family ensures minimum downtime and
reliability of over 99%.

The laser energy is transmitted via pluggable and robot-

VG66 suitable optical fiber. Depending on the beam quality,
8 50 core diameters of 100 μm to 200 μm are available.
