2 kW to 8 kW Direct Diode laser power with flexible beam shape, ideal for heat treating, cladding and welding applications.

In cladding and heat treating, the higher power and longer line beam of the HighLight D-Series lasers increase production speeds to new benchmark levels, allowing larger areas to be processed in a single pass.



In cladding, the HighLight D-Series yields a higher material deposition rate (up to 18 lbs/hour), allowing the laser to paint-on metal.



The newest member of this series, the HighLight 8000D, with up to 8 kW of 975 nm direct diode power, is the most powerful direct diode laser system currently available with free space beam delivery (no fiber-coupling needed). Free space beam delivery preserves the inherent brightness of the diode laser source and enables the use of an optical system with a large (275 mm) working distance. Additional power levels in this series include 2 kW, 4 kW, and 6 kW-all at 975 nm.



The unique design of the HighLight D-Series' compact laser head enables a wide range of output beam size options that won't restrict application deployment.



* The 6 kW and 8 kW models offer line beam dimensions of 1 mm width and either 6 mm, 12 mm, or 24 mm length.

* Lower powered systems have additional beam lengths of 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm.



An optional beam shaping accessory can expand the 1 mm beam width dimension to 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm or 12 mm.
