Overview
IPG Photonics YLS series fiber laser sources represent the gold standard in industrial fiber laser technology, powering the majority of high-end laser cutting, welding, and processing systems worldwide. As the pioneer and global leader in high-power fiber lasers, IPG delivers unmatched reliability, efficiency, and performance.
The YLS series offers power from 1kW to over 125kW in multi-mode configurations, and up to 10kW single-mode. Operating at 1070±5nm wavelength, these sources achieve wall-plug efficiency exceeding 40% (YLS-ECO exceeds 50%) with power stability of ±1%. Power tunability from 10-100% maintains consistent beam divergence and profile.
Key specifications include modulation frequencies up to 10kHz, feed fiber core diameters from 100-300µm, and fiber delivery lengths up to 100 meters. The rugged, air-conditioned sealed cabinets ensure reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. Control options include digital I/O, analog control, LaserNet software, DeviceNet, Profibus, or Ethernet interfaces. The YLS-CUT series is specifically optimized for cutting applications with enhanced damage threshold fiber blocks and internal dehumidification. As OEM components, YLS sources power cutting systems from leading integrators worldwide.
