Rugged 600W laser marks and welds
Sealed and rugged 600W CO2 laser has been designed for integration into laser based processing systems for marking, cutting, welding or heat treating components.
The new Rofin SCx60 sealed CO2 laser has been designed for integration into laser based processing system for marking, cutting, welding or heat treating With an average output power in excess of 600W (1450W peak), and high beam quality, K 0.8, the SCx60 sets new standards for sealed CO2 lasers

Laser marking system processes 1000 units/min
Laser marking system uses dual axis scanning technology to mark small and large characters on packaging lines at speeds in excess of 1000 containers per minute.
High beam quality pulsed YAG profiles finely
In medical device manufacture, pulsed Nd:YAG lasers now can do the work of profiling increasingly finer, structures.
The diffusion cooled RF excited Slab construction allows for a compact, rugged design that can be robot mounted or fitted to a moving bridge flat-bed system.
The laser produces a high quality round, symmetrical beam that results in faster cutting speeds with improved edge quality and a minimum heat affected zone.
The hard sealed construction of the laser tube ensures long gas lifetime, and virtually no maintenance.
Elimination of an independent gas supply has the added benefit of removing the contamination source for the cavity optics and output window.
Standard features include automatic power feedback resulting in better than +/-2% long term power stability.
External interfaces allow control of the laser by a PC or a PLC based handling system.
A hand held control module and on-board diagnostics provide continuous monitoring of key functions and modules.
Optional items include a laser diode pointer; an electro-mechanical safety shutter; a circular polarizer and an ATFR (anti-back reflection module).
The SCx60 can cut a wide range of materials, including dieboard, acrylic, plastics, steel, and stainless steel.
For the first time, a sealed CO2 can handle applications previously limited to more complex and expensive fast axial flow lasers. Request a free brochure from Rofin-Baasel UK ...
