Civan Lasers has an history of pushing the boundaries of laser technology. From the early days of our 1kW systems to the state-of-the-art 120kW Gen III lasers, our journey has been marked by innovation, continuous improvement, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Let's take a closer look at how our laser systems have evolved over the years.
Generation I: The Beginning of a New Era
Our journey began with the introduction of the Gen I lasers. These early systems, while revolutionary at the time, had their share of challenges:
Power Output: Starting with 1kW in 2012, we quickly advanced to 5kW in 2016 and 14kW by 2018.
Dynamic Beam Performance: Although groundbreaking, the initial dynamic beam performance was limited.
Reliability: High maintenance needs were a common issue, but these early systems laid the groundwork for future innovations.
Despite these challenges, Gen I lasers were a crucial step in our journey, providing valuable insights and establishing our reputation in the laser industry.
Generation II: Scaling New Heights
The introduction of the Gen II lasers in 2021 marked a significant leap forward. With these systems, we addressed many of the issues faced by their predecessors:
Higher Power: The Gen II lasers reached an impressive 100kW, a significant increase from the Gen I systems.
Improved Reliability: Through rigorous testing and feedback from top research institutes, we managed to reduce system bugs and enhance overall reliability.
Enhanced Dynamic Beam Performance: The dynamic beam performance saw marked improvements, making these lasers more versatile and efficient.
The Gen II lasers proved their mettle in various industrial applications, from welding thick sections to remote cutting. They were the backbone of many successful projects, providing the robustness and power required for demanding tasks.
Generation III: Setting New Standards
Building on the success and lessons learned from Gen I and Gen II, our Generation III lasers represent a new standard in laser technology:
Compact Design: One of the most notable advancements is the significant reduction in size and weight. The new power supplies and optical head designs have made the Gen III lasers far more compact and easier to integrate into various applications.
Higher Power Output: The 120kW Gen III lasers deliver unparalleled power, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in laser technology.
Enhanced Reliability: Through extensive software and hardware improvements, we’ve achieved unprecedented reliability. A nine-month project tracking over 20 laser systems resulted in an 80% reduction in laser faults.
Real-World Impact and Case Studies
The Gen III lasers have already proven their worth in various high-stakes applications:
Ship Panel Welding: Welding times have been reduced by up to 50 times compared to traditional methods.
Wind Tower Welding: Similarly, welding times for wind towers are up to 20 times faster, showcasing the efficiency and power of the Gen III systems.
Remote Cutting: We’ve demonstrated the ability to cut 100mm mild steel from a distance of 25 meters, highlighting the precision and power of our lasers.
