FiberWELD® DHµ is a compact, direct energy deposition (DED) head for medium power, fiber-based laser manufacturing applications. The head features transmissive and reflective optics to maximize space while minimizing focus shift – even in high duty cycle processes. FiberWELD® DHµ’s advanced optical design permits wire to be fed directly into the beam path – right into the center of the melt pool. This allows the laser process to have total directional independence. Also, FiberWELD® DHµ’s easily accessible, protective cover glasses extend the life of internal optics.
• For most fiber-delivered laser systems (Diode, Fiber, Disc) up to 6 kW
