Bromsgrove-based TLM Laser continues to strengthen its enduring partnerships, providing access to the latest generation laser technologies that have the potential to revolutionize various manufacturing processes. The latest addition to TLM’s impressive range comes from their esteemed partner, FOBA Laser, in the form of a state-of-the-art Ultrashort Pulse Laser system.
Ultrashort pulse lasers (USP) are characterized by their incredibly short pulse width, falling within the femtosecond to picosecond range. These lasers offer a myriad of advantages across various material processing applications.
A key benefit of USP lasers lies in their ability to deliver high-precision processing while minimizing the heat absorbed by the surrounding area. The adjustable pulse duration, ranging from femtoseconds to picoseconds, ensures low heat input despite the high pulse energy, enabling precise and reliable marking even on temperature-sensitive materials.
The laser’s capacity to create fine structures during the process prevents light reflection, resulting in deep black laser marks that offer excellent readability from various viewing angles. With the F.0100-ir laser system, virtually any material, from metals to heat-sensitive components and transparent materials, can be marked, opening up numerous possibilities.
The new laser marking system finds ideal applications in the medical sector, excelling in producing high-contrast marks on medical instruments made of stainless steel, titanium, or plastics. It also proves highly effective in the production of automotive and electronic components.
Notably, marking speeds with the FOBA F.0100-ir can reach up to five times faster than those achieved using nanosecond laser systems, depending on the material being processed. Furthermore, FOBA’s F.0100-ir boasts one of the most compact designs among ultrashort pulse lasers, allowing seamless integration into production lines and laser marking machines, such as the FOBA M-Series.
Andy Toms, Director of TLM Laser, expressed enthusiasm for the new FOBA USP laser system, stating, “The launch of this new laser system from FOBA will open up many new opportunities for us, particularly within medical sector applications.”
This latest advancement further enriches TLM Laser’s comprehensive range of laser technologies and solutions, solidifying its position as a leading player in the field. By continually fostering enduring partnerships and offering cutting-edge solutions, TLM Laser reaffirms its commitment to staying at the forefront of laser technology in the manufacturing industry.
