Description
The LightWAVE® Industrial CO2 Lasers are a pinnacle of precision engineering, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial applications. These lasers are renowned for their liquid cooling and RF excitation, which ensure consistent performance and longevity. With a wide operating power range and exceptional power stability of ±6%, these lasers are tailored for environments where precision and reliability are paramount. The fast rise and fall time of approximately 60 microseconds further enhances the laser's capabilities, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid modulation and high-speed operations.
Constructed with a metal-sealed laser cavity and internally collimated beams, the LightWAVE® lasers offer unparalleled beam quality and stability. The integration of RF technology and overbuilt electronics guarantees efficient operation, while the common footprint and three-point mounting system simplify installation and maintenance. Proudly manufactured in the USA, these lasers reflect a commitment to quality and innovation.
Designed to withstand challenging industrial conditions, the LightWAVE® lasers operate efficiently within a wide ambient temperature range of 50°F to 100°F (10°C to 38°C) and can maintain performance at altitudes up to 6500 feet (2000 meters). The lasers are engineered to function in environments with relative humidity levels below 95% non-condensing, ensuring versatility across various settings. The cooling system, utilizing distilled water with corrosion inhibitors, maintains a stable coolant temperature range of 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C), which is crucial for optimal laser performance.
In summary, the LightWAVE® Industrial CO2 Lasers are a testament to cutting-edge technology and robust design, providing users with a reliable and efficient tool for their industrial needs. With a focus on durability, precision, and power, these lasers are an ideal choice for industries seeking to enhance their operational capabilities.
