!%Trumpf%! has released a 38-page brochure on its offerings in laser technology, including its CO₂ lasers. It notes that the TruFlow fast axial flow devices are available with output ranging from 700 to 20,000 W to cover a variety of applications, and that the compact TruCoax diffusion cooled ones provide good beam quality at a power of up to 2000 W. Sections detail solid-state lasers, including the TruDisk lasers for processing metals, the TruPulse for spot and seam welding, and the TruMicro for microproduction technology, including remote cutting, structuring and drilling metals, semiconductors and ceramics. Beam guidance and optics for solid-state lasers are discussed.
