AFX Programmable Fiber Laser
True single-mode to ring-mode beams
Built for Productivity.
AFX lasers deliver precision where it’s needed and accelerated throughput where it’s not. Metal additive manufacturing just entered a new era of quality, profitability and productivity.
Features and benefits.
Up to 550W true single-mode power
Execute fine detail with the precision of a near-diffraction-limited beam.
Up to 1000W of ring-mode power
Accelerate productivity with ultra-stable 3x spot magnification with ring intensity profiles.
Maximize productivity
Optimize precision and throughput with 7 switchable beam profiles, on-the-fly.
Industrial durability
Rely on the same uncompromising quality you’ve come to expect from nLIGHT fiber lasers.
Controlling the AFX fiber laser beam profile can be accomplished through several interfaces.
nLIGHT offers a Graphical User Interface (GUI), Command Line Interface (CLI), Application
Program Interface (API) and a Hardware (HW) Interface.
Table 1 shows seven typical beam profiles that are selectable through the interfaces described above. This range of beam characteristics provides the versatility to optimize selective laser melting processes for different materials, hatch spacings, and consolidation rates.
