Product information "IPEX-700 Excimer Lasers"

193-351 nm; Energy 0.150-0.700 J; Max. Rep-rate 10-100 Hz; Average Power 3-40 W; Pulse Duration 12-20 ns FWHM; Beam Size 12x26, 12x28 mm; Medium Duty Cycle Operation

Designed for medium duty cycle operation in industrial and R&D environments, Light Machinery’s IPEX-700 series of excimer lasers deliver high-power ultraviolet laser machining combined with state-of-the-art performance. LightMachinery excimer lasers are used by leading R&D scientists all over the world.

The largest single cost of operating an excimer laser is laser gas consumption while running the laser (also known as dynamic gas lifetime). Incorporating LightMachinery’s proprietary ICON™ (Integrated Ceramic on Nickel) and patented exciPure™ technologies, IPEX lasers offer extremely long gas lifetimes, superior optical stability and precise control of laser operating parameters. With exciPure™, LightMachinery has achieved a 10x improvement in gas usage over competing lasers. This technological breakthrough leads to dramatically less cost to run your laser.

EasyClean automated valves fitted to the optics ports allow the laser chamber to be sealed and the gas fill / passivation to be retained while resonator optics are removed for cleaning and maintenance. Easy to use, simple to service and economical to operate, IPEX-700 lasers combine the benefits of high precision excimer processing with the lowest total cost of ownership and highest uptime in the market today.

IPEX-700 lasers are ideal for applications such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and can be operated from any computer using Windows 7 or 8 – a Microsoft® Surface Pro 3 is included for your convenience.

LH Series High Voltage AC/DC Power Supplies
Input Voltage 187-460 VAC 3-Phase; Max. Output Voltage 1-150 kVDC; Max. Power 5,000 W; Efficiency >85%; Voltage Regulation <0.005%-<0.025%; Current Regulation <0.2%, <0.5% XP Glassman’s LH Series are sophisticated 5 kW high voltage AC/DC power supplies with low ripple and noise. They are air insulated, fast response, 6U rack-mount units with tight regulation. A broad range of models is available with output voltage ranges from 0 to 1 kVDC through 0 to 150 kVDC. The LH Series features “air” as the primary dielectric medium. No oil or encapsulation is used to impede serviceability or increase weight. Internal circuitry constantly senses and integrates arcs that occur over a given time. In the event a system or load arcing problem develops and exceeds factory-set parameters, the power supply will cycle off in an attempt to clear the fault and then automatically restart after a preset “off dwell time”. The LH Series’ high voltage output is inhibited for a short period after each load arc to help extinguish the arc. Typically, ripple is less than 0.05% RMS of rated voltage at full load. Off-the-line pulse-width modulation (PWM) provides high efficiency and a reduced parts count for improved reliability. The LH Series’ front panel contains all local control functions like AC power on/off, separate 10-turn controls to set voltage and current levels, HV voltage on and off/reset switches as well as LED indicators for high voltage on, output polarity, interlock, fault status or voltage/current regulating mode. Output levels are indicated by voltage and current digital meters. All voltage and current programming and monitoring signals are coupled to the user interface by true differential amplifiers. This provides for the ability to return the program and monitor commons to ground or system common at the source. This arrangement isolates the return wires and eliminates errors due to unwanted return currents flowing in these connections. The LH Series’ standard operation mode is constant voltage/current. Automatic crossover from constant-voltage to constant-current regulation provides protection against overloads, arcs and short circuits. A rear panel switch allows selection of either constant-current or current-trip operation. Thermostats and fan RPM sensing shut down the power supply due to over-temperature or reduced fan speeds. Standard accessories for the LH Series include a remote interface mating connector and a detachable 2,4 m shielded high voltage coaxial output cable. The LH Series supplies, when configures with the 400 VAC input option, are fully compliant with the following European harmonized EMI directives: EN61010/ IEC61010, Safety EN61000-6-4, Conducted and Radiated Emissions EN61000-6-2:2005, Conducted and Radiated Immunity 2011/65/EU, Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Key Features: 6U Rack Mount Air Insulated Maximum Output Power: 5 kW – Parallelable to 25 kW Maximum Output Voltage: 1 to 150 kVDC Maximum Output Current: 25 mA to 5.0 A Low Ripple: <0.05% RMS of Rated Voltage at Full Load Tight Regulation Static Voltage Regulation: <0.005% for Specified Line and 0.01% for Specified Load Variations, 0.025% for 80 to 100 kVDC Models Current Regulation: <0.2% (8 to 150 kV), <0.5% (1 to 6 kV) From Short Circuit to Rated Voltage at Any Load Condition Constant Voltage/Constant Current Operation Arc Quench & Arc Count Front Panel, Remote, RS232, USB & Optional Ethernet Control Input Voltage: 187 to 228 or 340 to 460 VAC RMS, 48 to 63 Hz, Three Phase Efficiency: >85% Typical at Full Load Output Voltage Accuracy: 0.5% of Setting + 0.2% of Rated Stored Energy: 3.5 to 58 J Voltage Monitor: 0 to +10 VDC Signal for 0 to Rated Voltage Current Monitor: 0 to +10 VDC Signal for 0 to Rated Current Stability: 0.01%/h After 0.5 h Warm-up, 0.05% per 8 h Polarity: Positive, Negative or Reversible Polarity With Respect to Chassis Ground Protection: Against All Overload Conditions, Including Arcs and Short Circuits Signals Provided on the Remote Interface Connector: Differential Voltage & Current Program/Monitor, HV Enable/Status, Safety Interlock, Fault Status, +10 V Reference, I/V Mode Status Options: Blank Front Panel, Zero Start Interlock, Slow Start Ramp, 0 to 5 V Voltage & Current Program/Monitor, Arc Count and Quench, Common to Ground Isolation, Control and Monitor via RS232, USB, Ethernet 3 Year Warranty Approvals: IEC61010-1:2010; EN61000-6-4:2007, Class A EN61000-6-2:2005 Operating Temperature: -20 to +40 °C Dimensions: 265.9 x 482.6 x 609.6 mm Applications: High Voltage, High Power Applications; Photonics; Healthcare (Analytical, Diagnostics, Detectors); Industrial; Semiconductor Manufacturing; Research; Other

IMPACT-2000 Pulsed CO2 Lasers
9.3, 10.6 µm; Energy 0.15-5 J; Max. Rep-rate 12-500 Hz; Max. Average Power 60, 75 W; Beam Size 8x9-25x25 mm LightMachinery’s IMPACT-2000 series of pulsed CO2 lasers are optimized for 24/7 precision processing and drilling of non-metallic materials. The material interaction of the short, high-power pulses from TEA (Transversely Excited Atmospheric) CO2 lasers is quite different from that of long pulse and continuous CO2 lasers. High-definition processing with excellent edge quality can be obtained. Plastic materials can be selectively removed from a metal backing, leaving the metal layer untouched. For many applications, IMPACT-2000 lasers offer a lower cost alternative to excimer lasers. The IMPACT-2000 series of lasers all incorporate high reliability SSM (solid state modulator) switch technology as well gas filtering systems to ensure very high uptimes and low maintenance even at continuous 75 W power delivery 24/7. Impact-2000 series lasers are ideally suited for the selective removal or machining of non-metallic layers deposited on a metallic under-layer. Unlike conventional CO2 lasers, the short pulses and high peak powers of TEA CO2 lasers enable the surface layer to be removed (“ablated”) with little or no effect on the underlying metal substrate, and with minimal thermal damage (“heat-affected zone” or “HAZ”) to the surrounding polymer material. Key Features: Pulse Energy: 0.15 to 5 J Maximum Average Power: 60, 75 W Maximum Repetition Rate: 12 to 500 Hz Beam Size (Horizontal x Vertical) at Laser: 8x9 to 25x25 mm Megawatt Peak Powers Give Excellent Edge Definition in Non-metallic Materials Greatly Reduced Heat-affected Zone (HAZ) Compared to Conventional CO2 Lasers High-reliability SSM (Solid State Modulator) Switch Technology Internal Real-time Gas Filtering Systems High Up-times and Low Maintenance Even at Continuous 75 W Power Delivery 24/7 Operation at 10.6 or 9.3 µm Variety of Pulse Energy and Repetition Rate Models Cost-effective Alternative to Excimer Lasers in Many Processes Simple to Operate Low Cost of Ownership Applications: Drilling, Patterning and Ablation of Non-metallic Materials; Selective Removal of Polymer Materials Fom a Metal Substrate With no Damage to the Metallic Backing; Wire Stripping; Medical Device Components; Drilling of Controlled-release and Rapid-release Pharmaceutical Tablets and Capsules; Microvia-hole Drilling in Printed Circuits; Flex-circuit Processing; Laser Ultrasound Non-destructive Testing
