December 7, 2005 - With efficiency rating of 50-60%, Model SBM 1200M can cut thin metals, plates, sheet metal, medical stents, and silicon. Removable cutting head can be replaced with scanning head, doubling system's functionality. Plug-n-Play system is suited for medical device micro cutting applications, hydro-formed components, automotive frames cutting, and blank cutting. It can also perform welding applications such as sintering, pipe/plate welding, and spot welding flexures.

Fiber Lasers: Innovation in Cutting and Marking

Lake Mary, Florida--PTG Industries announces a breakthrough in laser technology: the first ever laser cutting and marking system that utilizes a 1,000 watt fiber laser. This state-of-the-art technology has an efficiency rate of 50-60% and has superior beam quality. PTG's SBM 1200M is twice as efficient as CO2 cutting systems for general metal cutting. This system can cut a variety of materials, including thin metals, plates, sheet metal, medical stents and silicon.

Fiber lasers have recently emerged as a viable option for cutting materials. Manufacturers in the automotive, medical, machining and other industries are finding the precision, low maintenance, wavelength choices and diversity of capabilities to have greater advantage over other cutting systems. PTG's SBM 1200M fiber laser cutting system operates at a power level of up to 1,000 watts. Its spot size is 1/10 the size of a CO2 laser's, which permits greater detail and higher accuracy in cutting and marking. The SBM 1200M's cutting capabilities can be used for medical device micro cutting applications, hydro-formed components, automotive frames cutting and blank cutting. It can also perform welding applications such as sintering, pipe/plate welding and spot welding flexures.

The SBM 1200M is also the first of its kind to have a removable cutting head that can be replaced with a scanning head, thus doubling this system's functionality and saving users the cost of implementing a second system for marking.

The advantages of the SBM 1200M fiber laser cutting system include:
o No change in divergence as a function of power
o High efficiency
o The lowest beam divergence of any 1 micron laser at all power levels
o Requires little setup time
o Plug-n-Play capabilities
