Fibre laser process monitoring THE new HighLight SQD option for Coherent HighLight fibre lasers provides cutting and welding systems integrators with a turnkey, simple-to-use means to implement process monitoring. (at a 2 kHz sampling rate), can be used to detect various key process events. For cutting, these include piercing end, cut interruption, and self-burning during piercing. For welding, the HighLight SQD can indicate incomplete penetration (due to insufficient power at workpiece, focal shift or material changes), blow holes, contamination, gap detection for overlap joints, and other process instabilities. Because it is contained within the The HighLight SQD comprises pro- cess sensors integrated directly into Coherent’s special fibre laser connectors, which detect back-reflected laser power and visible spectrum process emissions. These signals, which are provided in either analogue or digital CAN bus form

fibre connector, HighLight SQD delivers a compact solution, and is claimed to be easier to integrate than existing sensing systems employing dichroic mirrors or other bulk optical elements. These traditional methods often suffer from signal variability, and increase the weight and size of the process head. Ease-of-use is further enhanced through a software interface that is integrated within the laser GUI.
