AM-MODULE NEXT GEN Prefocusing Deflection Units

Optical Deflection ±0.325 rad; Processing Speed 30 rad/s; Positioning Speed 30 rad/s; Digital Control via RL3-100 Protocol; Resolution 0.76 µrad

Raylase’s AM-MODULE NEXT GEN prefocusing deflection units for fiber-coupled lasers feature homogeneous power density and exceptionally low drift values. They enable ultra-dynamic, rapid processing with flexible spot diameters. Full digital, model-based control is ensured with absolute precision. Up to 4 modules can be operated simultaneously over one construction field. Direct connection of a photodiode or pyrometer for process control is also possible.

For more effective process monitoring, the BASE-Module can be expanded with the SENSOR-Module. The two integrated sensors not only ensure customized quality control, they also enable archiving and process control. Focus tracking is built-in for one of the sensors. Data can be preprocessed either directly in the expanded camera electronics or on a powerful frame grabber.

The AM-MODULE NEXT GEN prefocusing deflection units are available in two variants: As a standard module or a high-performance module with fully digitally galvo-scanner. The high-performance module is designed for use in the manufacture of ultra-high precision components which must satisfy particularly high safety specifications. This application is of particular interest for users in the aerospace industry, automotive manufacturing and medical engineering.
