A record number of visitors to MD&M Chicago 2011 were keen to learn about the wide range of benefits lasers can offer the medical industry. As a result, industrial laser manufacturer JK Lasers secured more sales leads than at any other MD&M event.
On display at this year’s JK Lasers’ booth was the newly launched #-Link-Snipped-#, which is well suited for large medical devices with thick materials. In particular, the high powered JK1000FL is suitable for the welding of medical devices such as pacemakers to provide a hermetic seal, and the cutting of medical tools for surgical applications.
Mark Richmond, Product Manager for JK Lasers, said: “The exhibition was incredibly successful, with a steady flow of visitors expressing an interest in our lasers and process applications.
“The 1kW laser, which can incorporate up to four fibres, was particularly well-received. Its time-sharing capability maximises productivity by eliminating system load and unload times, whilst energy-sharing helps avoid the distortion of sensitive components by simultaneously welding multiple locations on one part. Both these features make the JK1000FL a versatile laser for businesses involved in the manufacture of medical devices.”
“People were also interested in incorporating fiber lasers into turnkey systems. Our recently added workstation - the JK System 5000 - with its customisable options such as linear and rotary axes, process tools and scan heads, means we are well placed to meet these requirements.”
JK Lasers will be exhibiting at #-Link-Snipped-# (20 & 21 October 2011), #-Link-Snipped-# (1 - 3 November 2011) and #-Link-Snipped-# (14 - 16 February 2012).
