  • Increased Power: Up to 20 kW maximum power level for faster welding speeds.
  • Dual Ring Configuration: Precise control over the welding process for superior results.
  • Elimination of Filler Wire: Cost savings and increased efficiency in many applications.
  • Superior Quality: Consistent welding results, even in challenging materials such as cast aluminum.

The ARM FL20D is designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance welding solutions. Its ability to handle demanding applications, such as cast aluminum welding for EV drivetrain and body-in-white applications, makes it an asset for industries including automotive, aerospace, and energy storage.

Coherent is committed to innovation and customer satisfaction, and this is evident in the development of the ARM FL20D. The company’s extensive experience in laser technology ensures that this product meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.
