Key benefits

A Leading Edge Advantage

The commercial advantages of fiber lasers over alternative technologies are far reaching: improved line speeds, finer machining capabilities, reduced downtime and lower cost of ownership, giving users a leading edge advantage.

Reliable

The redPOWER R4 series of fiber lasers from SPI has been designed and tested to meet the highest standards of reliability, performance, repeatability and user safety.

No Maintenance

Significant design features of the SPI unit include thermal management, low noise, output stability and system-to-system repeatability. Every care has been taken at the design stage to ensure our products offer a long and maintenance-free life.

Versatile

The laser user’s ability to control power, modulation rate, pulse width and pulse shape, together with applications tailored beam delivery and control features, make fiber lasers a highly versatile tool of choice for micro-machining applications.

Innovative Technology

Innovative SPI features include Extended Performance Range (XPR), Pulse Shape Equalisation (PSE) and closed loop power control resulting in class leading performance and power stability. All of these options are available for some of the most demanding applications.
