Coherent Combines Beam Quality with Compact Package in 30W CO2 OEM Laser
Coherent, Inc. unveiled a low-power CO2 laser that features beam quality and a small footprint.
Called the GEM-30™, this OEM laser provides more than 30W of output power at 10.55- to 10.63-µm with a greater than 98% TEM00 spatial mode and M2<1.2 beam quality. It is designed for marking, engraving and desktop manufacturing.
The GEM-30 was built using the same laser cavity as its predecessor, the GEM-25, but is based on an innovative platform where the power supply RF driver is integrated into the same housing as the laser head. This results in a compact, robust package that can operate in the most demanding environments. The GEM-30 provides 20% higher power than its predecessor and comes in a single, compact package, providing ease of integration and enabling previously unattainable desktop-sized, high-throughput marking and engraving systems.
"The advantages of the GEM-30 are numerous. You get the agility and ease of integration that comes with a compact, integrated platform, as well as the reliability and dependability that comes with using a field-proven technology," said Ron Straayer, product manager at Coherent.
Available in both air- and liquid-cooled models, the GEM-30 measures just 357mm x 92.46mm x 139.6mm (14.06" x 3.64" x 5.49") for the air-cooled version; 357mm x 92.46mm x 92.79mm (14.06" x 3.64" x 3.65") for the liquid-cooled version. The GEM-30 has a rise time of less than 60 µsec. It runs on 48 VDC (12 amps) and has a RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Mounting brackets are also available.
