IPG Hosts Precitec for Two Seminars in Detroit |
 Precitec held two days worth of advanced seminars to discuss recently developed processes with IPG fiber lasers. IPG hosted the seminars in March at its Midwest Operations facility in Novi (Detroit), MI. The event drew industry leaders interested in reviewing three new products from Precitec that were specifically developed to increase the utility of fiber lasers. The highlight of the hands-on demonstration showed an IPG 10 kW laser connected to the new Precitec "Wobble Tracker" optical head incorporating an oscillating weave pattern in the welding spot with seam tracking to bridge gaps in a non-linear butt joint seam.

Spot Welding with Fiber Lasers |
|
 IPG Photonics has introduced a new laser that changes the industry status quo once again. For many years now, low heat input spot welding has been the preserve of flash lamp-pumped solid state lasers. Only recently has a progressive alternative to this technology been developed in IPG's cost effective and highly efficient quasi-cw (QCW) line of fiber lasers. Click here for full story.

| 1 mJ YLP Series Lasers for Deep Engraving Applications |
|
 The YLP Series 1 mJ 20 W laser has been widely used for marking on a range of materials and applications. The new IPG 50 and 100 W 1 mJ high average power lasers have caussed increased interest in deep engraving applications from our customers and OEM vendors. These high average power lasers can engrave deeper and substantially reduce cycle time; they are quickly becoming the "go-to" laser for these types of applications. Click here for full story.

| Cutting of Thick Steels with IPG's Fiber Lasers |
 Although the media attention to the automotive industry has been mostly negative over the last year, IPG Photonics continues to grow in this market segment. The advantages of IPG fiber lasers make it a "must have" tool for tier-one suppliers who are forced to get leaner and show increased efficiencies. Click here for full story. |

IPG Photonics is proud to announce the acquisition of Germany-based Cosytronic KG (COSY), a specialist in the joining technology with an emphasis on engineering know-how in automated welding turnkey solutions. The acquisition allows IPG to extend its product offerings to include a welding tool that integrates seamlessly with IPG's fiber laser. 
IPG Photonics is proud to announce the acquisition of Birmingham, Alabama-based Photonics Innovations, Inc. (PII), a maker of active and passive laser materials and tunable lasers for scientific, biomedical, technological, and eyesafe range-finding applications. The acquisition allows IPG to expand its product offerings to the middle infrared (approximately 2 to 5 micron). 
The Northern California (NorCal) Laser Institute of America's (LIA) Chapter welcomed 50 industry professionals for an evening of networking, good food and a much anticipated presentation by Dr. Ken Caldeira addressing climate change and its unfolding impact on the globe.
