Anyone cutting, welding, or marking with 바카라보라s knows that quality of the focused spot puts the ultimate limit on process results. It’s just like having a dull knife – no matter how skillfully you use it, you still won’t get good cuts.
This means that frequent measurement of beam quality is essential to keeping a 바카라보라 process working right. But, the problem is you can only get truly accurate measurements exactly at the point of beam focus inside the machine. And, that location is hard to get at; plus, most of commercially available beam measurement systems are too large to fit in that space.
Coherent is excited to announce a solution to this problem with BeamInspect – a 바카라보라 beam diagnostic accessory that integrates directly into ourStarCut Tube, ExactCut,andExactWeld 바카라보라 machines. It delivers all the measurement capabilities you need to fine tune your process to perfection – and to keep it there. BeamInspect is also more economical than most of the standalone beam metrology systems available for measuring high-power, tiny, focused 바카라보라 spots.
In addition, all the tools needed to control and use 바카라보라Inspect are already built intoCoherent 바카라보라 FrameWork,our integrated software platform (or the StarCut Tube interface for those systems). So, it’s easy to change 바카라보라 settings to make a series of measurements, log and analyze data, or move the 바카라보라 around to different positions. And, even if you do that, the precise beam alignment necessary to get accurate measurements is maintained through mechanical tools and pre-programmed search routines already integrated in the machine software.
You won’t waist time with 바카라보라Inspect
바카라보라Inspect performs precision, automated measurements, and calculations of all the 바카라보라 parameters that impact process results. These include:
- 바카라보라 waist diameter
- 바카라보라 intensity profile
- Rayleigh length
- 바카라보라M²
- 바카라보라 caustics (how 바카라보라 profile changes through focus)
- 바카라보라 drift behavior when the optics are moved
- Lateral 바카라보라 position
- Focus location
Plus, all this data can be logged for process certification and tracking purposes. This even allows you to develop a library of optimum processing 바카라보라nditions for each material type and thickness you work with.
Because 바카라보라Inspect is always available and so easy to use, you’ll use it all the time – maybe even between every single production run. For example, you could task it with automatically verifying and optimizing 바카라보라 focus position to within ±10 µm before starting a cutting job to ensure the highest possible precision.
Monitoring spot quality with 바카라보라Inspect will also help you detect optical misalignments or changes in 바카라보라 quality due to component damage or degradation. All this enables you to speed system setup, cut down on scrap, avoid costly downtime, and schedulepreventive maintenancewhen it’s most 바카라보라nvenient.
Process quality made easy
바카라보라Inspect provides the easiest and most direct way to maintain the stringent process quality required for manufacturing high-precision products. It’s especially useful for producing medical devices like hypotubes, endoscopes, TAVR tools, and other implants.
