JDSU signs exclusive Europe-wide distribution agreement with Laser 2000

JDSU of Milpitas, CA, USA has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Laser 2000 GmbH of Munich, Germany, an optical solutions provider of almost 30 years, to provide its kiloWatt-class fiber laser and kW-class direct-diode laser products throughout Europe.

Laser 2000 can now offer kW-class laser systems that JDSU jointly developed with Amada of Kanagawa, Japan (a manufacturer of machine tools for metal cutting). Solutions include a range of new kW-class fiber laser and direct-diode products that JDSU launched in February related to its CORELIGHT platform. Applications include cutting and welding of metals including mild steel, aluminium, titanium, brass and copper. Various material deposition applications such as 3D printing are possible.

"The CCOP [Communications and Commercial Optical Products] unit at JDSU has a strong history of collaboration with its customers and partners," says Alan Lowe, president of Communications and Commercial Optical Products at JDSU. "This new distribution agreement will help machine tool manufacturers across Europe sharpen their competitive edge with kW-class laser solutions that help to improve efficiencies of metal manufacturing processes while lowering overall costs."
