Mid-power lasers do fine cutting

A new family of compact, midpower, industrial lasers from GSI Group Inc. is designed to handle fine-cutting applications and highprecision welding. The JK family of pulsed, Nd:YAG lasers feature the company's LaserView control technology for programming with a single command; Luminator fiberoptic beam-delivery system with back reflection damage protection; pulse shaping for tight control; and integrated time and energy shares for fast switching. The JK300P and JK125 feature a single lamp designed to produce 125 to 300 watts of power, while the JK-300HP has twin-lamp oscillators that the company says provides enhanced power and pulse energy. www.gsip.com
