There are many applications of industrial lasers. Whether used for cutting, welding, micro-machining, additive manufacturing or drilling, industrial lasers generate a significant amount of heat that can affect accuracy and repeatability of the system. 

There are many applications of industrial lasers. Whether used for cutting, welding, micro-machining, additive manufacturing or drilling, industrial lasers generate a significant amount of heat that can affect accuracy and repeatability of the system. Efficiently cooling lasers ensures proper, long-term performance of the laser. Compressor-based refrigeration systems have long been used to cool laser systems, while thermoelectric-based chillers or coolers offer spot cooling for low power lasers and optical components. Larger systems greater than 500W typically require an external compressor-based chiller while systems smaller than 500W use a thermoelectric based chiller or thermoelectric coolers.
