Starlase AO10
An enhanced 1 kilowatt version of the proven Starlase AO series laser system – optimised for short pulse duration at high repetition rate to deliver increased throughput for applications requiring high peak intensity in a 24/7 production environment. Rugged head design and a flexible control system provide a platform that is ideally suited to industrial applications. A microprocessor architechture allows for serial interfaces, touchscreen control and a simple integration with OEM equipment and process lines. Real time condition-monitoring provides details of laser performance using power monitors and diagnostics. The laser head contains 2 synchronous ocsillators which can be triggered with a software configurable delay to give variable pulse durationand shape, double pulses or interleaved pulses depending on the application requirements. First pulse control and CW leakage suppression can be provided across the performance range. External facility requirements are limited to an electrical supply / coolant water and Purge gas (CDA or N2).
