With power competition heating up, improving the electro-optical conversion efficiency of lasers has become the key to gaining an edge over the competition. the electro-optical conversion efficiency of IPG over the years is as follows.
Electro-optical conversion efficiency is the energy conversion efficiency of converting electrical power into laser power. In simple terms, a laser converts electricity into two forms of energy, laser and heat. A laser with a high electro-optical conversion efficiency produces more light and less heat for a given power input. A laser with a low electro-optical conversion efficiency produces less light and more heat. The adverse effects of low electro-optical conversion efficiency include high costs due to long-term high-load use, large footprint of water-cooled machines, high power consumption, more chillers, easy failure of equipment, unfavourable to environmental protection and other disadvantages.
IPG lasers, on the other hand, have long since achieved a plug-in efficiency of over 40% (the industry's general level is 20-30%). This means that lasers of the same power can achieve less energy consumption and lower water cooling requirements, greatly reducing the electrical load, size and weight requirements of lasers.
The YLR-4000, to be released by IPG, combines high power density, perfect beam quality, fibre transmission and high electro-optical conversion efficiency. Compared to the sealed cabinet laser YLS-4000, the new YLR-4000 is smaller in size and the world's smallest 4kW continuous fibre laser, making it easier to install and integrate. It is the best solution for cleanroom systems or where integration into production lines is required.
