For decades Precitec has been the leading manufacturer of processing heads suitable for all laser sources including fiber lasers, disc lasers, CO2 lasers, diode lasers, Nd:YAG lasers from powers ranging from the typically used power spectrum up to 30 kW. These are directly applicable to industrial laser materials processing in order to meet the highest criteria for quality in a given application. To meet our customer’s needs Precitec is continuously improving the performance of their products meeting the requirements modern laser sources demand with respect to beam quality, brightness, and laser power. At ICALEO 2009 Precitec will report on the latest generation of industrial solutions for laser processing heads for welding and cutting taking into account the physical boundaries given by the laser radiation on one hand and on the other the practicability of a modular design with respect to the integration of the processing tool in various industrial applications.
