HeNe Laser Head 1122 Series

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

Average Power 100-300 W; Beam Size 11x11, 19x19 mm LightMachinery’s IMPACT-3000 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-3000 lasers offer a lower cost alternative to excimer lasers. The IMPACT-3000 series lasers are high-power (up to 300 W) short-pulse TEA CO2 lasers for surface layer removal and cleaning, non-destructive testing, photochemistry and scientific research. The highest repetition rate model (3400) is intended primarily as a source for laser ultrasound testing. For materials processing, their combination of high peak power and short pulses permits the removal of surface layers such as polymer coatings, paint or contamination from metal or composite backings with no damage to the underlying material and minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ). Their high average power offers fast throughput. In non-destructive testing, the high pulse repetition rate, short pulse durations and optimised mode structure of IMPACT-3000 lasers make them an ideal generation source for laser ultrasound (Laser UT) testing of composite matrix materials. For photochemistry and advanced scientific research, the high repetition rate and high average power can be utilised in applications as diverse as isotope separation and remote sensing / LIDAR. Key Features: Pulse Energy: 0.25 to 3.0 J Maximum Average Power: 100 to 300 W Maximum Repetition Rate: 100 to 400 Hz Beam Size (Horizontal x Vertical) at Laser: 11x11, 19x19 mm Beam Divergence, Half Angle: ~2.0, ~6.0 mrad Megawatt Peak Powers Give Excellent Edge Definition in Non-metallic Materials Greatly Reduced Heat-affected Zone (HAZ) Compared to Conventional CO2 Lasers High Up-times and Low Maintenance Even at Continuous >200 W Power Delivery 24/7 Operation at 9.0 to 11 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: Surface Layer Removal and Cleaning; Polymer Coatings; Brake Lines; Paint Stripping; Mold Cleaning; Non-Destructive Testing; Laser Ultrasound Generation; Photochemistry and Spectroscopy; Isotope Separation; LIDAR and Remote Sensing

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-4000 lasers offer a lower cost alternative to excimer lasers. The fully configurable IMPACT-4000 series lasers are designed for scientific and specialized applications. The short pulse of the thyratron-switched IMPACT-4000 series is ideal for ultrasound applications as well as applications in infrared chemistry. IMPACT-4000 lasers can be configured with a tunable option and set up in a master oscillator / power amplifier (MOPA) configuration with additional amplifiers to achieve the right power at the right wavelength for your application. IPACT-4000 series lasers can be supplied in a range of standard multi-module oscillators and MOPA configurations. The beam parameters (divergence, linewidth, mode structure, range of wavelength tuning, etc.) are mainly defined by the master oscillator, and the final energy is mainly defined by the number of power amplifier modules.
