​Raycus RFL-QCW 2000/6000 Quasi-continuous fiber laser RFL-QCW series

The Raycus RFL-QCW Series is a lineup of high-performance Quasi-Continuous Wave (QCW) fiber lasers designed for industrial applications requiring precise control over energy output and pulse characteristics. QCW lasers bridge the gap between pulsed and continuous wave (CW) lasers, offering adjustable pulse widths and peak powers while maintaining high average power. This makes them ideal for applications such as welding, cladding, heat treatment, and cutting in materials like metals, alloys, and composites.

Key Features:

High Energy Efficiency: Utilizes advanced fiber optic technology for minimal power loss and reduced operational costs.

Flexible Pulse Control: Enables adjustable pulse duration (typically 0.1 ms to several milliseconds) and repetition rate, optimizing process parameters for different materials.

Compact Design: Rugged, air-cooled architecture for easy integration into automated systems or production lines.

Reliability: Long lifespan with low maintenance requirements, supported by Raycus’ robust engineering and quality control.

Wide Power Range: Offers multiple power levels to suit various industrial needs, from low to medium/high-intensity applications.
