Hamamatsu launches laser thermal processor for quenching
02 Mar 2021
Processing system combines direct diode laser with a six-axis robotic arm, allowing high degree of freedom.
Versatile: external view of the laser thermal processing equipment.Hamamatsu Photonics has developed new laser thermal processing equipment for laser quenching that combines a direct diode laser, based on the firmâs own diode technology, with a six-axis robotic arm that operates with a high degree of freedom.
The system delivers a laser beam with an output power of 2.5 kW, which is described as âideal for surface quenching onto steel materials of various shapes and sizes.â It also offers a low running cost, which will lead to wider use of laser quenching, Hamamatsu is hoping.
