HyIntensity Fiber Laser Earns Product of the Year Award from Engineering Community


Hypertherm's HyIntensity HFL015 Fiber Laser is the recipient of the Product of the Year award from the NASA Tech Briefs' Photonics Tech Briefs edition. Half a dozen members of Hypertherm's Fiber Laser team accepted the award this week from NASA Tech Briefs manager Edward Marecki, who drove up to New Hampshire to personally present the award.

NASA Tech Briefs, which began as a publication chronicling significant research at the space agency, is read by nearly 200,000 members of the engineering community. At the end of each year, those readers vote on which product, previously selected as a "Product of the Month" by Tech Briefs editors, is the most significant new introduction to their community for that year.

"It is exciting anytime we receive an award, but to receive an award like this from engineers, who are undoubtedly exposed to breakthrough technology every day, is truly an honor," said Douglas Shuda, marketing manager for Hypertherm's HyIntensity Fiber Laser systems.

Hypertherm's HyIntensity HFL015 Fiber Laser system is a 1.5 kilowatt system notable because it was the first fully-integrated fiber laser system designed specifically for cutting applications, including marking and fine-feature cutting. The systems have since been joined by two more HyIntensity Fiber Laser systems-the two kilowatt HFL020 and the one kilowatt HFL010.
