摘要

JDSU announced that it has collaborated with Amada, a manufacturer of machine tools for metal fabrication, to develop a new high-power 4-kilowatt (kW) fiber laser. The fiber laser has been integrated into a new sheet metal cutting system that Amada plans to start selling to the Japanese market in May 2011, followed by a global market introduction in June 2011. According to Amada, the new system will provide the fastest linear cutting speed available worldwide.
