Customized Direkt Diode Lasers The modular beam sources of the LDMdirect series enable fast and economical realization of customer-specific solutions for special applications and installation situations. LDMdirect 2000 Ultra-compact direct diode laser for heat treatment applications with a housing width of only 50 mm. The processing head with integrated beam source and optics generates rectangular and fully homogenized laser spots that can be adapted to process requirements. Multiple processing heads can be cascaded forming a system setup. LDMdirect 3000 Highly rugged and protected direct diode laser for harsh process environments. Diode lasers have been used in the manufacture of CFRP components since 2009. When tape-laying and tape-winding fibre-reinforced plastics, the tapes that have been deposited or wound are welded using lasers. The improved mechanical properties for products and weight savings of up to 70 percent lead to a continuous increase in applications with CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced plastic) components. However, current production systems with a single machining head are limited in their maximum yield. In order to increase the production capacity of strip application systems, Laserline developed a modular direct diode laser with a housing width of less than 50 mm. The design allows the integration of several heads in one clamping. The processing head with integrated laser source and optics generates a rectangular, fully homogenized laser beam that can be adapted to the strip sizes.
