YLS-AMB

Adjustable Mode Beam Lasers

YLS-AMB Adjustable Mode Beam Lasers improve productivity in cutting, welding and additive manufacturing by independent programmable adjustment of the beam mode to any combination of a small-spot high intensity bright core or a larger ring-shaped beam. In cutting, AMB increases piercing and cutting speeds and improves processing quality of both thick and thin materials by the same laser. In welding, AMB lasers eliminate spatter, cracking and porosity at the highest welding speeds unattainable by other methods. YLS-AMB lasers deliver the highest total power with the widest range of beam mode parameters on the market including single mode core and high peak power option, and are fitted with either direct output or integrated beam couplers and beam switches.

Quasi-CW Adjustable Mode Beam Lasers

The NEW YLS-QCW-AMB lasers provide the combined benefits of adjustable mode beams (AMB) lasers with a quasi-continuous wave (QCW) mode of operation. These lasers are air-cooled, eliminating need for water-cooling lines and stand-alone chiller.

 

AMB flexibility allows for independent programmable adjustment of the beam profile to any combination of a small-spot high intensity bright core and a larger ring-shaped beam. AMB laser processing eliminates spatter, cracking and porosity at high welding speeds.

 

The QCW mode of operation provides 10X high peak power in millisecond pulses at the reduced average power, enabling lower cost processing using minimum average power at the peak power required by the application as compared with traditional CW lasers.

 

Dual-beam technology and high peak power facilitates welding highly reflective materials such as copper and aluminum. Low average power input during processing reduces the heat affected zone, part warping and distortions when welding delicate parts such as electrical connectors, electronic components and battery busbars.

Applications

High Speed Welding with No Spatter, Cracking and Porosity Variable Thickness 2D/3D Thin & Thick Metal Cutting
Electric Vehicle Battery Welding Improved Thick Cutting Speed and Quality
Multiple Welding Stations by the Same Laser Improved Piercing Speed and Quality
Additive Manufacturing Any Metal: Mild steel, Stainless, Ti, Cu, Brass and Al

Normal laser welding can be accompanied by periodic keyhole instability revealed by spatter of molten metal. The keyhole instability results in porosity, cracking, variations in keyhole depth and poor visional finish. 

AMB enables high-speed high-quality welding in automotive applications such as body in white, drivetrains and e-mobility such as Al battery enclosures and battery tabs.
