Enclosure

The enclosure design utilizes extruded aluminum framework construction. The light-tight design with removable interlocked covers, panels and doors provide easy and safe access.

Internal lighting and laser safety window for visual inspection during the laser process are included with the ergonomic design. Complies with CDRH requirements as a Class 1 enclosure. The enclosure contains the complete laser head, laser beam delivery and motion system.

Laser

The laser including the laser head, power supply, laser control, and chiller are integrated into the system. The laser and wavelength are predetermined dependent upon the applications. Galvos and CCD cameras are some of the available options.

PC Controller
