Coherent's DC Series high-power CO2 SLAB slab lasers offer an unbeatable combination of cost-effectiveness and reliability for a variety of material processing tasks, including cutting, welding and surface finishing. In addition, due to their radiation wavelength, they can be used to process a wide range of materials, including metals, wood, plastics, textiles, paper and carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) and more.
Coherent DC slab lasers use a slab discharge, which is technologically simpler and provides better output characteristics than the fast-flow design traditionally used in multi-kilowatt CO2 lasers. The closed plate discharge configuration prevents contamination of the optics and eliminates the complexity, cost and reliability issues of gas recirculation pumps. All of this translates into significantly lower operating costs, higher reliability, longer life and extended service intervals.
