IPEX-800 Excimer Lasers
Product information "IPEX-800 Excimer Lasers"
193-351 nm; Energy 0.150-0.700 J; Max. Rep-rate 10-200 Hz; Average Power 3-80 W; Pulse Duration 12-20 ns FWHM; Beam Size 12x26, 12x28 mm; High Duty Cycle Operation
Designed for high duty cycle operation in a manufacturing environment, Light Machinery’s IPEX-800 series of excimer lasers deliver high power ultraviolet laser machining combined with state-of-the-art performance.
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-800 lasers combine the benefits of high precision excimer processing with the lowest total cost of ownership and highest uptime in the market today. Marking of ceramics is one of many applications for these versatile industrial tools.
