Rofin-Sinar UK showcases their new, extended range of lasers at LASYS 2018 - OEM 45 iX sealed CO2 Laser

10 May 2018

OEM 45 iX – Synonymous with power and stability.

The OEM 45 iX sealed CO₂ laser comes in three wavelengths; 10.6µm, 10.25µm and 9.3µm  respectively. This laser has become a best seller and market leader for Rofin-Sinar UK due to its versatility and the ease in which it can be integrated into existing production lines, whether these are system concepts with scanners or other beam guidance components. The IP66-rated robust system has a comprehensive electronics interface and diagnostics and is capable of working in the harshest industrial environments, making it an ideal candidate for robotic applications across a number of industries.

Capable of a range of applications, from cutting, drilling and perforating to marking, engraving, scribing and welding, this laser is ideally suited for a wide array of materials be they textiles, plastic, polymer, acrylic, rubber, FR4, glass, wood, ceramics or metal.

Designed for flexible integration and installation, the OEM 45 iX laser comes with an integrated laser head, RF power supply and controller with MCU interface and the option of a DC power supply and cover.

The OEM 45 iX has a high quality, round symmetrical beam for high processing speeds and a short optical pulse with high peak power. This improves the edge quality and minimises the heat affected zone. The technology is based on the well-proven Slab principle, with no need for gas recirculation equipment such as vacuum pumps or pressure control systems. As gas exchange is unnecessary before 20,000 operational hours, the running, maintenance and service costs are minimal resulting in this laser having a long lifetime and trouble-free operation.

Also on Stand 4B83, Rofin-Sinar UK will be demonstrating its Multiscan VS, the world’s fastest CO₂ laser marking system. It can mark stationary or moving products 'on the fly' at speeds of up to 1,200 characters per second using flexible software; this enables intelligent data to be placed anywhere within the specified scan area. The Multiscan VS offers an optional facility to generate and download high quality complex graphics and can produce two-dimensional or traditional bar codes. The laser system also provides perfect line tracking and its compact size and reliability allow easy siting and ‘fit and forget’ low maintenance.
