Starlase AO32
A 3.2 kilowatt acousto-optically Q-switched, Dual cavity / Dual output, diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser system designed for high-volume 24/7 manufacturing environments. Delivers high average powers at a wavelength of 1064 nm, unpolarised. Rugged head design and a flexible control system provide a platform that is ideally suited to industrial applications. A microprocessor architecture allows for serial interfaces, touch screen control and simple integration with OEM equipment and process lines. Real time condition monitoring provides details of laser performance using power monitors and internal diagnostics. The laser cavity design is optimized for stable operation across a wide range of pulse repetition frequencies and first pulse control and CW leakage suppression can be provided across the performance range. Integrated optical attenuator and fibre delivery options are available to provide flexible beam delivery and output power control. External facility requirements are limited to an electrical supply / coolant water and Purge gas (CDA or N2).
