Configurable Fiber Laser Workstation

IPG Photonics Corporation (Oxford, MA) has introduced the IX-200-F, an advanced fiber laser micromachining system for general purpose, R&D and batch-scale production applications. IPG’s IX-200-F is a fully enclosed and interlocked CDRH Class 1 system, configurable with a wide range of IPG fiber lasers and fully integrated with the system operating hardware and software. The IX-200-F features a high-resolution, high-performance microscope vision system that provides a continuous zoom range from 38X to 880X for sub-micron automated part alignment and inspection. The selection of IPG Fiber lasers currently supported on the IX-200-F includes pulsed IR to >500 watts and pulsed green up to 50 watts as well as UV lasers. Users may select ablation or thermal cutting and scanning or fixed beam delivery configurations.
