IPG’s quasi continuous wave (QCW) fiber lasers are available for requalifying existing lamp-pumped processes at IPG’s application facilities and applications labs. QCW fiber lasers are ideal for spot welding, seam welding & drilling in the long pulse operation mode. These air-cooled, compact units are substantially more cost-effective than conventional YAG lasers due to >30% wall-plug efficiencies and maintenance-free operation. Retrofit services, including engineers familiar with system integration, are available to help customers replace older production lasers with energy-efficient fiber lasers from IPG. The QCW Series features 19” rack mounted units and highly cost-effective OEM modules.
