Rugged, high-power CO2 laser

– for a wide range of applications

Whether used for welding, cutting, or surface processing, TruFlow lasers are highly versatile - even in applications where other laser technology reaches its limits. Its wavelength of 10.6 µm allows for a wide range of materials: from metals to plastics, and glass to organic materials. Even corroded surfaces can be machined reliably. The power spectrum of 2 to 20 kW also opens up a wide variety of applications, from laser epitaxy for semiconductors and material removal, through to the welding of large format components. A robust resonator and a magnetically levitated blower ensure stable processes, minimal maintenance, and a long service life even under harsh industrial conditions.

What sets the TruFlow Special

Processing a wide variety of materials with a wavelength of 10.6 µm

The 10.6 µm wavelength of our TruFlow lasers enables processes that cannot be achieved with conventional solid-state lasers, or can only be achieved with extreme effort and at high cost. This allows them to process a wide variety of materials, such as wood, glass, metal, plastic, and composites. Applications in semiconductor manufacturing are also possible, including laser annealing - a process in which the material is heated to several hundred degrees Celsius within milliseconds.
More applications with power ratings up to 20 kW
More applications with power ratings up to 20 kW

With laser powers ranging from 2 to 20 kW, the TruFlow offers a wide range of options for different material thicknesses and applications. It really stands out at high power levels: Starting at 12 kW, the TruFlow is one of the few CO2 lasers available on the market.
Reliable processes even under harsh conditions
Reliable processes even under harsh conditions

The TruFlow operates reliably even under harsh industrial conditions, such as in steel manufacturing or shipbuilding. Its mechanically robust and temperature-stable resonator is designed for accelerations of up to 5 m/s². The beam quality thus remains consistent even in the event of vibrations and temperature fluctuations, ensuring the quality of your processes does the same.
Less maintenance thanks to a wear-free blower
Less maintenance thanks to a wear-free blower

The TruFlow blower is mounted on magnetic bearings and driven magnetically. As a result, it operates completely wear-free unlike mechanical drives. This reduces maintenance requirements and increases operational safety. Magnetic technology also prevents damage during power outages or emergency shutdowns and eliminates contaminations from lubricants.
Lower safety requirements and easy integration thanks to good absorption
Lower safety requirements and easy integration thanks to good absorption

Many materials absorb TruFlow wavelengths particularly well. As a result, there are fewer dangerous reflections than with solid-state lasers, and the effort required for necessary protective measures is reduced. This makes it easier to integrate TruFlow into existing production environments.

TruFlow in use

– What you can expect

Whether fine structures in semiconductor manufacturing, fiber-reinforced composites, or large-format thick sheets: The TruFlow handles a wide variety of applications and challenging materials. You can use it to create epitaxial layers, precisely ablate, cut, or weld material. It operates reliably even under harsh industrial conditions.

Laser epitaxy for semiconductors

Laser epitaxy for semiconductors

In laser epitaxy for semiconductor manufacturing, you heat and vaporize substrates such as oxides, sapphire, silicon, silicon carbide, or aluminum nitride to create high-quality crystalline layers. This requires temperatures of more than 2,000 degrees Celsius and precisely defined wavelengths - requirements that cannot be met using conventional methods.

The TruFlow wavelength of 10.6 µm is absorbed exceptionally well by many of these substrate, heating them to more than 2,000 degrees Celsius. You can thus produce high-quality, ultra-thin crystal layers with high uniformity.

Cutting and ablation of organic and composite materials

Cutting and ablation of organic and composite materials

Carbon or glass fiber composites cannot, or can hardly, be cut or ablated precisely using conventional laser wavelengths. Alternative methods, such as waterjet cutting, are possible, but they are often time-consuming and expensive.

Many composite and organic materials absorb the 10.6 µm wavelength of the TruFlow particularly well. This allows you to cut these materials with precision, ablate specific structures, or strip away layers of paint without having to resort to time-consuming alternative methods.

Cutting and welding of large format thick sheets

Cutting and welding of large format thick sheets

Large format thick sheets and metal coils used in heavy industry are often contaminated with oil, dirt, particles, or oxide films. When cutting and welding with other lasers, this can result in rough cutting edges, pores, or defects. The optics in the processing head may also wear more quickly.

With its 10.6 µm wavelength, the TruFlow reliably processes even dirty, rusty, or oily surfaces. You can thus achieve consistent weld seams and clean cutting results even under challenging surface conditions.
