IPG delivers fiber lasers in all domains of laser material processing, medical engineering and scientific
institutes and universities. IPG is the acceptedmarket leader in this modern fiber laser technology. The
IPG Photonics Corporation contains subsidiaries in many European, Asiatic and American developed
counties. Production sites for these lasers are in both Oxford, Massachusetts in the US and in Burbach,
Germany with a verticalrange of manufacture of 90%. This helps to guarantee a high grade of
competence and reliability.
High output power, excellent beam quality, high stability and mobility are outstanding predicates of the
fiber laser. The superiority of the fiber laser isefficiency, flexibility, modularity, thermal and mechanical
robustness that comes along with a simple constructive assembly. Further important characteristicsfor the
industrial use are low running costs.
Economic feasibility studies show, that it is possible to realize faster, better and more cost-effective
industrial applications with high power fiber laser. IPG has the production capacity for a production in high
piece numbers. Additional information can be found at Uwww.ipgphotonics.comU.
