Compact systems with high performance: the LDM series meets these requirements of many users
Overview of application areasThe space saving 19-inch conception makes the integration of the laser easier for plant constructors thereby qualifying it as a standard industrial tool. Whether in a classical control cabinet, a processing station or underneath the conveyor belts of an interlinked production plant, the innovative design makes it possible to integrate the LDM diode laser in any production area. It requires no additional space and is thus perfectly suitable for OEM applications.
The system design of the fiber-coupled OEM modules of the LDM series is consequently focused on compactness, reliability and ease of integration. The LDM is a 19-inch rack mounted laser, the size of a PC. It includes the diode stacks, a fiber-coupling unit, the power supply, cooling as well as microelectronics used to monitor and control the laser.
Laserline is once again setting the standard for compact high power diode lasers with an increase in the performance of the LDM product family in the 7 U plug-in system. The beam quality of the fiber-coupled diode laser LDM is comparable to that of a lamp-pumped solid-state laser, but with a tenfold higher socket efficiency at a fraction of the size. Very simple operation thanks to the functional, standardized signal interface underlines this user-oriented product philosophy.
The LDM module is based on the proven and continuously-developed Laserline diode technology. Today it is used worldwide in many application areas and is characterized by high reliability and system stability. Therefore Laserline’s diode lasers are offered with a two-year warranty on laser diodes. This period may be extended on request.
The main element of the LDM's product philosophy is user friendliness. The miniaturization of the laser system leads to a clear reduction in investment and operation costs. LDM diode lasers have a great potential to be a substitute not only for existing laser applications but also for conventional methods, e.g. welding, repair welding or heat treatment.

The LDM Stand Alone Solution is a fully functional laser source with an integrated water/air cooling system. The integrated solution can be equipped with all LDM diode lasers up to 10 kW laser power and also includes a hydraulically separated cooling circuit for processing optics, in addition to the connections for water-cooled power meters.
With a footprint of just 0.5 m², the LDM stand-alone solution offers an extremely compact and flexible laser unit. It can be easily installed in production environments without additional technical infrastructure. Only a mains connection is required for operation.
The compact 19-inch plug-in modules LDM are an excellent choice for OEMs, as these small, cost-effective yet powerful modules are easy to integrate into production systems. A selection of the most common applications with LDM diode lasers can be found here.
