i Series – 500 and 400 Watt CO2 Lasers
High-power CO₂ lasers designed for demanding industrial cutting and processing applications. Deliver strong energy output with reliable, continuous operation. Built for high-throughput environments requiring durability. Enable efficient processing of thicker materials and complex tasks.
Best for: High-power cutting, industrial processing
Key advantage: Speed
Compatibility: Heavy-duty beam delivery systems, automation lines
Overview
The i Series mid-power CO2 lasers are now available in both 500 W and 400 W models, delivering faster processing throughput and precision detail. The new i501 delivers more than 500 Watts of continuous wave (CW) power enabling faster throughput and precision detail. With the largest dynamic range in its class, the i501 laser switches seamlessly between low power for fine features, and high power for speed. Both the i501 and i401 include a TCP/IP web-based Internet interface that allows access to information about LED and RF module status – including voltage, current, and temperature measurements using a standard web browser to manage laser operation and ensure optimal performance. Built-in gas purge port for easy connection to nitrogen or CDA purge systems and an internal electromechanical shutter for operator safety make the i Series the ultimate OEM lasers.
Greater Detail With Faster Throughput: 400 Watts of average power for faster throughput and higher yields across a variety of target materials. Internal beam conditioning delivers near perfect circular output in both near and far field, ensuring a focused spot size with higher power density for greater detail and faster processing speeds.
Maximum Uptime: Highly reliable RF modules ensure maximum uptime and are field replaceable for improved serviceability
Real-Time Monitoring: Real-time performance monitoring through a TCP/IP web-based Internet interface that allows access to advanced onboard diagnostics to reduce unplanned downtimes
