Various applications of laser guide line lights
In many fabrication processes, it is helpful for the operator to be able to pre-visualize the path of the tool before the process begins. This offers benefits in efficiency through faster setups with less material waste, in quality through positioning surface features for best appearance and in safety through heightened operator awareness of the zone of danger represented by the tool's motion.
Since 1985, Z-LASER has offered laser guide line lights for just such applications. The bright, highly visible line produced by the laser provides exactly the reference the operator needs to ensure precise alignment between the material and the tool. Whether you require precise positioning for cutting, parts placement or machinery calibration, Z-LASER offers a large range of powerful, industry-tested lasers. The wide variety of available models and output power levels means it's easy to pick the right combination of features for the job at hand.

A range of compact and affordable laser modules generating an accurate line or cross at 635nm or 650nm with uniform intensity distribution. The laser modules measure just 29mm in length, with a diameter of only 8mm and are extremely efficient and reliable.
They are ideal for the most demanding industrial and medical applications where space is at a premium, such as handheld instrumentation, targeting, alignment and machine vision.
These laser diode modules generate either a 70 degree full angle cross or a 58 degree or 88 degree full angle line, all factory focused at 1000mm. The focus can be set to other distances on request. The lens system produces an efficiently uniform intensity laser line.
At a visible wavelength of either 650nm or 635nm, these compact laser diode modules offer output powers of 0.9mW or 4mW with power stability of less than 5 per cent. Operating voltage is from 3V to 6V DC at an operating current of 30mA typ, (0.9mW) or 40mA typ, (4mW). Operating temperature range is -10 degrees Centigrade to +40 degrees Centigrade.
The laser modules consist of a brass housing, a laser diode, drive circuit and beam-shaping optics. Electrical connections are made via external flying leads. All modules have static, surge and reverse polarity circuit protection. |

Z-LASER in Machine Vision
Laser projections of dots, dot matrices, lines, multi-lines, grids, circles and other patterns in combination with miscellaneous camera types play an important role in machine vision.
For single profile measurements a camera and a laser line are sufficient. Surface contour measurements of moving objects require a camera with distortion-free or telecentric optic, a line laser and image processing tools. Dot projections are suitable for simple presence check and height measurements, crosses and target projections are in high demand in robotics, circles are used for example for weld seam checks, multi lines, grids and point matrices allow taking a height profile in one image.
The industrial image processing has very high requirements to the features of the laser line. A good homogeneity of the light intensity and an even, non-gaussian light distribution, as well as a constant line width and a high sharpness of the laser line are absolutely necessary. The image processing with projected laser structures require reliable lasers with stable wavelengths and power output. The new ZV series of Z-LASER has been systematically been developed for these requirements.

StarShape
The new StarShape series from Rofin/Baasel Lasertech provides a large number of different lasers for micro-material processing. All StarShape series applications have one thing in common: the precise, local, selective ablation of areas of the surface of a component or tool by vaporization or vaporization-induced displacement of the molten mass.
The lasers in the series can be used to structure surfaces, drill through-going or blind holes, or remove selected layers of substrates precisely to the micrometer. The materials that can be processed range from metals through ceramics and diamonds to plastics.
To cover most of ablating micro-material processing, the StarShape series includes both Nd:YAG lasers in cw or Q-switched versions, and CO2 lasers. The available wavelengths thus range from green to within the infra-red end of the spectrum. Interaction times from the few nanoseconds of end-pumped solid state lasers up to the continuous-wave range, offer suitable laser solutions for all of the above-mentioned applications. |

The CFR200 was designed to meet the needs of industrial, scientific and medical applications such as LIDAR, PIV and remote measurement. The system, based on BSLT's experience in military defense lasers, was designed for easy use in even the harshest environments.
Whether you are looking for a laser to operate in "real-world" applications, or simply looking to free up room on your lab table, the CFR200 may be your answer.
Both the CFR200 and the CFR400 come equipped with a compact case that includes an air/water cooler and electronics. The CFR400 has the same dimensions as the CFR200, but delivers twice as much energy. |

The 405nm laser modules are designed for applications such as biomedical instrumentation, imaging, spectroscopy, fluorescence sensing, microscopy and many other emerging technologies.
The compact and efficient 405nm laser modules produce either an elliptical output beam of 4 x 1.5mm with output power of 4mW, or a 2mm circular output beam with output power of 0.9mW. The glass AR coated optical lens may be adjusted to produce either a collimated beam or focused spot. The standard lens may be replaced by other optical systems such as line generators.
The laser is extremely stable and reliable and offers the added advantage of TTL modulation input which will accept signals from DC up to 1 kHz minimum. TTL modulation can be used to enable, inhibit or modulate the laser.
Operating voltage is from 8V to 12V DC at an operating current of 90mA, or 100mA. Beam divergence is <0.6mrad for the circular output beam and <0.6 x 0.3mrad for the elliptical output beam. Operating temperature range is -10°C to +50°C.
The modules are cylindrical with an optional 25mm mounting flange and consist of an aluminium housing, laser diode, drive circuit and collimating lens. Mechanical dimensions are a compact 12 mm diameter x 43mm length. Electrical connections are made via external flying leads. |
