The Rofin DL 031 Q is a high-power diode laser with an output of 3100W.

The Rofin DL 031 Q is a high-power diode laser with an output of 3100W.

This extremely compact laser provides high reliability and industrial compatibility in multiple-shift operation.

Important new features include online performance measurement, integrated stack management for enhanced availability, and a pointing laser with a green wavelength for improved visibility.

Diode lasers have a wall plug efficiency of approximately 30% and typically achieve diode lifetimes of more than 10,000 operating hours.

The laser beam sources of the DL-Q series lend themselves well to a wide range of industrial applications, such as surface treatment, conduction welding and brazing.

Diode lasers are particularly well suited to brazing, as they possess the necessary wavelengths for this process (808-940nm), a suitable focused spot (2-3mm), and the ability to couple into an optical fibre.

Areas of application for such assemblies are found in automobile manufacture, where various sheet metal assemblies already feature laser-brazed joints.

Laser brazing provides the ability to bridge broader gaps than with welding, prevents damage of anti-corrosion layers, and maintains waterproof properties.
