LaserStar 8000 Series welding systems are fast, efficient, portable, Nd:YAG pulse laser systems with fiber optic attachment for high-speed welding applications. Ideal for non-contact welding processes which join two similar or certain dissimilar metals together. LaserStar welding systems can produce both spot welds (single pulse) and seam welds (multi-pulse overlapping spots), including hermetically sound seams.
The 8000 Series offers users the ability to easily integrate the fiber optic beam delivery into high-speed assembly operations and/or motion systems to minimize or eliminate human contact with component parts.
Many materials can be laser welded including 300 and some 400 series stainless steel, mild steels, nickel and nickel alloys, aluminum and aluminum alloys, titanium, precious metal alloys (gold, silver, and platinum), etc. Typical applications include:
• Implantable Medical Devices

The new LCY range of CW & Q-switched CW lasers has been introduced to complement our comprehensive range of pulsed Nd:YAG lasers. Litron has employed the very latest in solid-state power, RF and digital control electronics in the design and manufacture of this new range.
Litron has developed a comprehensive RS232 & TTL interface which allows the lasers to be linked quickly and simply to 3rd party beam delivery systems. Our Q-switch control electronics feature a unique First Pulse Suppression (FPS) circuit with 2 independently controlled waveform modifiers. This allows consistent and reliable FPS to be configured by the system integrator / OEM in whichever mode and frequency range the laser will be operated. Including complete suppression of the first pulse when operating in CW and quasi-CW modes.
Arc lamp pumped lasers:
All the laser resonators use the established and proven rugged Invar industrial space frame optical rail. This optical rail imparts enormous rigidity to the resonator ensuring the long term stability of the laser output without the need for regular tuning or adjustments. The unique design of Litron’s close-coupled, diffuse ceramic, pumping chambers keep the laser rod and lamp cooled evenly and provides industry-leading levels of efficiency and pulse to pulse stability.
Diode pumped lasers:
Litron will introduce Diode Pumped Solid State (DPSS) lasers to the CW range during 2007. Please contact us if you have a specific requirement for DPSS lasers.

A suite of dual cavity lasers designed specifically for PIV applications. Compact and rugged for indstry and research alike.
The construction of the Nano series of PIV laser systems is extremely robust. They have been developed as industrial tools that can be handled without worry of misalignment or damage. The PIV head is formed by an aluminium gauge-plate onto which two standard Nano-series heads are mounted. The output beams are combined by dielectric polarisers and then frequency doubled, and if desired can be frequency tripled, quadrupled or quintupled.
Many of the Nano PIV systems are powered by a single power supply unit, making the overall package both powerful and portable. There are two twin power supplies available, the LPU450-PIV and the LPU550-PIV, the latter allowing outputs of 200mJ at 532nm at 15Hz from each laser.
The laser system is controlled via a remote controller. All trigger and synchronisation signals are TTL compatible, and each laser is controllable entirely independently.
All Nano laser heads have a verified electronic intra-cavity safety shutter as standard, which ensures that the lasers cannot be started with the shutter open - an important safety feature.

Eumarker is a simple, versatile and economical laser. The diode module can be replaced in a easy, quick and economical way. The long life of the diode allows to extend the Mean Time Between Restoring (MTBR) of the system and consequently a drastical reduction of the operation cost.
System integration of the Eumarker into a laser system is extremely simple.
The Rack power supply is equipped with all the hardware requirements needed to be easily interfaced with external components to build Class 1 system. The signals requested for marking are simply: one analog command of the power and the digital command pen up / pen down.
The high beam quality along with elevated peak power permits the Eumarker to be very aggressive on metals and, at the same time, limiting thermal effect on plastic marking. The 1064 nm wavelength is the most suitable to produce excellent marking results beyond steel and titanium but also aluminium and plastic.

MBR Ring Series
Family of high-performance and ultra-stable tunable CW Ti:Sapphire lasers.
Features:
- Monolithic resonator for highest passive stability
- Highest power from a CW tunable Ti:Sapphire laser
- Single mirror change provides access to full tuning range
- Versions from broad linewidth to single-frequency operation
- Full upgrade options within the MBR family
The MBR stability advantage
MBR ring lasers offer you all the advantages that our 20-plus years of experience in the design and production of high-performance CW Ti:Sapphire lasers can provide. Their monolithic block resonator provides unsurpassed passive stability. For single-frequency operation the Invar reference cavity is integrated in the monolithic design rather than placed in a remote location. The passive stability provides superior performance and reliability for cutting-edge research applications with CW tunable lasers.
The MBR ease of use advantage
Unlike other laser systems the MBR eliminates the need for regular mirror adjustments, because all mirrors and optics are integral to the monolithic frame. Requiring very little user intervention the MBR is free from the mirror adjustments required in competing systems. This advantage is enhanced by the broadband optics set that covers the full Ti:Sapphire tuning range by simply changing the output coupler. In the narrowest linewidth versions a unique dual Brewster plate setup eliminates the beam-pointing issues common to tuning mirror designs. An automatic wavelength scanning feature (RS-232) is available with a scan range of 30 GHz at a fast tuning speed of 8 GHz/second.

Optional scan heads deliver exceptionally large marking fields - also for high speed mark-on-the-fly applications. For stand-alone operation no PC is required, which saves space and increases reliability.
Versatility for broad application range:
We can configure exactly the system our customers need - thanks to a choice of scan heads, beam orientations, focal length lenses, and two power levels. Powerful software allows for marking messages with automatically updated content (e.g. date, time, shift), symbols, graphics, foreign language fonts and the import of illustration or engineering files.
Superior reliability:
The ultra-reliable fibre laser source eliminates conventional pump chamber maintenance. The high efficiency fibre laser source (less than 300VA) is internally fan cooled, eliminating downtime and maintenance of water coolers or external chillers.

When it's a matter of flexible beam guidance, be it for cutting or welding, diode pumped, solid-state lasers, where the beam can be directed through an optical fiber, are the suitable beam sources. The portfolio is rounded off by a patented, modular system of optical fibers and optical-fiber components such as beam switches and power splitters, and by a wide range of processing lenses. Thanks to the almost loss-free transmission of the laser beam via optical fibers, combinations with automated systems and robots are possible. Fast beam switches allow the laser beam to be switched to different workstations, and thus used to their maximum efficiency.
The modular design and long life-time of all solid-state laser components ensure maximum reliability, and make the lasers extremely low in maintenance. A modern, Windows-based user interface ensures convenient operation by touch-screen.
