Insights
IPG's new LDD-1000-DS with real-time deep weld sensing advances manufacturing quality control while expanding their industrial laser ecosystem.
IPG Photonics is unveiling significant technological advancements at the 2025 Laser World of Photonics that strengthen its market position in industrial laser systems. The highlight introduction is the LDD-1000-DS, a groundbreaking Optical Coherence Tomography system capable of real-time keyhole imaging for welds up to 50mm deep. This represents a major leap in quality control for manufacturing processes where weld integrity is critical.
What makes this development particularly valuable is the closed-loop autofocus control integration with IPG's existing 3D high-power scanners, creating an ecosystem advantage that competitors will struggle to match. The system's ability to sense weld quality in real-time through beam delivery optics addresses a significant pain point in high-precision manufacturing, especially in industries like automotive and aerospace where weld failures can have catastrophic consequences.
The company's On-the-Fly welding solutions showcase IPG's systems integration capabilities beyond just laser sources. By combining dual-beam lasers, advanced scan heads and real-time measurement technologies, IPG is delivering dramatic increases in welding throughput while maintaining quality control—a compelling value proposition for manufacturing efficiency.
IPG's strategic expansion into handheld laser cleaning through the cleanLASER acquisition demonstrates thoughtful portfolio diversification. This move enables IPG to capture additional market share in industrial surface preparation and cleaning applications while leveraging existing technology expertise and distribution channels.
The breadth of applications featured—from micro-machining to quantum computing—underscores IPG's commitment to developing specialized laser technologies for emerging high-value applications rather than competing solely on price in commoditized segments. This technological differentiation strategy maintains their premium positioning while opening new revenue streams in advanced manufacturing sectors.
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IPG Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IPGP), the global leader in fiber laser technology, will showcase new and innovative fiber laser solutions at Laser World of Photonics, June 24-27, 2025 in Munich, Germany. IPG will introduce the LDD-1000-DS, with the novel capability to sense real-time the quality of deep welds, demonstrate integrated On-the-Fly welding solutions, and new cleaning solutions using lasers.
The 480 square meter booth (5,180 square feet) will display a wide range of IPG laser sources and laser technologies, supported by an international staff of IPG experts who will present unmatched laser solutions and technologies for challenges and process improvements across nearly every industry and application. The IPG booth will feature fourteen display areas, each with a combination of products, samples, interactive content and live demonstrations. Outside of the booth, thought leaders from IPG will present on multiple laser technologies and industry topics.
Launch of the Most Powerful Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) System for Deep Weld Keyhole Imaging
IPG will demonstrate the new LDD-1000-DS that has immediate distance sensing for deep weld keyhole imaging, directly through the beam delivery optics. LDD-1000-DS is capable of real-time closed-loop autofocus control for 3D high-power scanners and can be seamlessly integrated with IPG optics. With the ability to sense welds up to 50 mm, this game-changing technology will provide customers with a lower-cost low latency distance sensor with long and adjustable ranges for multiple industry applications.
On-the-Fly Laser Welding: Integrated Solutions and Live Demonstrations
The company will display the latest dual-beam laser sources, laser scan heads, and real-time weld measurement technologies as both integrated sub-systems, and as part of a live EV-Cube battery welding demonstration. On-the-Fly laser welding is an automated process characterized by continuous motion, where real-time calculations account for system motion while ensuring the beam is still directed precisely. Continuous motion enables a dramatic increase in welding throughput. The combination of these technologies offers manufacturers an unmatched combination of productivity, quality, and quality assurance for demanding welding applications.
Advanced Micro-Machining and Additive Manufacturing Technologies
Both micro-machining and additive manufacturing applications require high precision to produce fine features and high-quality microprocessing across a wide range of materials with unique characteristics. On display in the IPG booth, the newest nanosecond, ultrafast and dual-mode laser sources are presented along with samples and interactive displays which provide additional details regarding functionality, features and application examples.
Handheld Laser Products for Welding & Cleaning
In addition to the game-changing LightWELD handheld laser welder, IPG recently expanded its handheld laser product offerings with laser cleaning solutions from the recent acquisition of cleanLASER in Aachen, Germany. This product line extension further differentiates IPG from competitors by enhancing its ability to deliver comprehensive solutions that provide customers with cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternatives to traditional industrial processes. Together with cleanLASER, both the larger IPG line of high-precision laser systems and handheld products for cleaning applications are strengthened by bringing additional know-how, complementary market exposure, and technology synergies. LightWELD and select cleanLASER handheld laser products are on display along with a range of compelling samples.
Heat Treatment, Spectroscopy, Quantum Computing and Directed Energy
Rounding out the booth are the latest laser solutions and technologies for heating-drying-curing, dual-comb spectroscopy, quantum computing and directed energy applications. These advanced applications are addressed by IPG with novel laser technologies that provide customers with significant advantages over traditional methods or competitive offers. Samples on display for semiconductor manufacturing provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of the capabilities and technologies.
These solutions, and many others, will be on display in the IPG booth, Hall B3, Booth #218 in Messe München at Laser World of Photonics 2025.
