To celebrate Christmas, JK Lasers, has cut a festive tree in 1mm brass with decorative 1mm aluminium snowflakes and 1.5mm red anodised aluminium baubles, using a 1kW fiber laser and Nitrogen assist gas. Aluminium and brass are highly reflective materials that can be difficult to process using lasers. Light can be reflected back onto the laser and optics, potentially causing damage.

A powerful 3kW fiber laser has been launched by global industrial laser manufacturer JK Lasers, part of the GSI Group. The new addition to the company’s Watt to kiloWatt fiber laser range will help enhance manufacturing productivity by processing thicker section metals at faster speeds and to higher standards.

JK Lasers' new 2kW fiber laser will be displayed on booth 2028 at the Lasers for Manufacturing Event (LME), held on 23 and 24 October in Schaumberg, Illinois, USA.

Many products are manufactured from reflective materials. Electric car batteries contain copper, jewellery is commonly made from silver and gold, and even the 2012 Olympic torch is manufactured from aluminium.

A 2kW fiber laser has been launched today by global industrial laser manufacturer JK Lasers. With excellent beam quality and high processing powers, the new JK2000FL presents manufacturers with a viable and cost-effective alternative to traditional CO2 and Nd:YAG laser sources.

JK Lasers has shipped the first of its newly launched 1kW fiber lasers. The JK1000FL is a highly versatile industrial laser, offering many advantages over more traditional solid state lasers at this power level.

JK Lasers has announced the appointment of Dr Mark Greenwood as its new General Manager. Based at the JK Lasers headquarters in Rugby, England, Dr Greenwood will be responsible for all worldwide operations including JK’s manufacturing facilities in the UK and Suzhou, China, as well as the worldwide sales and service organisation.

To date majority of the micromachining applications have been addressed with the lamp pumped pulsed Nd:YAG laser. However, the increasing complexity of microelectronics/ engineering devices and the requirement for higher yields and automated production systems place stringent demands on the micromachining techniques. This has led to development of new laser sources fiber and dick lasers etc. These lasers with diffraction limited beam quality offe...

JK Lasers has enhanced its product portfolio with the introduction of a high powered 1kW fiber laser, capable of providing exceptional levels of power and control for a wide range of industrial cutting, welding and drilling applications.

A record number of visitors to MD&M Chicago 2011 were keen to learn about the wide range of benefits lasers can offer the medical industry. As a result, industrial laser manufacturer JK Lasers secured more sales leads than at any other MD&M event.
