What are the Environmental Benefits of Fiber Laser Drilling?

Question

Accepted Answer

Compactness of fiber lasers
Fiber lasers are very compact when compared to other types of drilling equipment. One way to reduce carbon footprint is to reduce factory space used and all the effects this has upon the environment (e.g. power, lighting, etc.) So, even the size of fiber lasers is a contribution. As an example, the largest dimensions of any of our models in the redENERGY G4 pulsed laser scanner range  are length 421mm x width 249mm x height 110mm.

Workflow integration
One fiber laser can perform multiple tasks itself and/or have drilling workflow integrated seamlessly with other machines. This integration can save on unnecessary transportation either inside a factory or to external partners and contributes to green-friendly targets.

Energy efficiency
Fiber lasers are highly energy efficient when compared to the majority of traditional drilling machines. This lower power usage is an obvious contributor to reducing an organisation’s carbon footprint!

Reduced tooling
Fiber lasers will need less tooling by comparison to other items of equipment. This saves in terms of the manufacturing “carbon footprint” of these tools as well as powering them for ongoing use.

Non-contact method
Laser drilling is a non-contact method. As the laser beam is remote from the object being drilled there will be no cross-contamination. This removes the need for cleaning, which arises using traditional techniques, which often necessitate the use of cleaning chemicals. In addition, there is no need for “contact parts” (such as new drilling heads), which reduces the carbon footprint even further!
