Integrated Process Monitoring

The Laser Heating System is a turnkey workstation designed for in-house application development of laser heating and drying processes. These systems integrate the most energy efficient lasers in the world with projection optics to direct laser energy within a Class 1 laser safe enclosure.

The workstation enables laser heating, curing, and drying processes to be safely brought in-house for intensive development of new and sustainable thermal applications.

The system is faster, more efficient and more environment-friendly than traditional heating & drying methods.

Sustainable, Energy-Efficient Heating & Drying

FAST: Laser heating and drying processes are up to 10X faster than traditional furnaces and convection ovens.

EFFICIENT: Lasers are a sustainable, all-electric solution that heat only the target surface rather than generating unproductive waste heat.

GREEN: Laser heating replaces environmentally unfriendly processes that consume fossil fuels.

The Most Efficient Heating & Drying Method

The IPG DLS-ECO Laser offers advantages in several categories against traditional heaters and dryers.

Precise Drying Process Control

A "cold" laser oven is a welcoming environment for monitoring equipment, enabling advanced metrology that is impossible in traditional furnaces. Pyrometer temperature monitoring can be used for unmatched process control, speed, and consistency.

Laser drying process and timeline.

1. Laser at full power rapidly heats material to desired temperature to initiate drying.

 

2. The control loop ensures the material never exceeds the target temperature range.

 

3. Control loop optimizes laser power during moisture removal process.

 

4. Control loop adjusts laser power down and then off as moisture is fully removed.
