Medium-power fiber lasers

A new series of lasers has been introduced by Rofin-Sinar. The medium-power StarFiber 100 and 200 have output ratings of 100W and 200W, respectively. They can be operated in either pulsed or continuous-wave mode. All system functions are controlled via a full-color, touch-screen control with graphical menu navigation and integrated "help" functions. The manufacturer recommends the lasers for fine welding and cutting applications.
