Overview
p100 – 100 Watts Average Power The Synrad p100 delivers up to 400 Watts peak pulse power and fast pulse rise/fall times that limit the heat affected zone (HAZ), delivering cuts and perforations with minimal melt lips and discoloration. With zero contact to the target material, the p100 is the ideal solution for precise cutting and processing of sensitive materials. p150 – 150 Watts Average Power The Synrad p150 was designed in response to industry needs for improved processing speeds very high quality results on difficult to process materials. The combination of fast pulse rise time, best-in-class 600 watts peak power, and excellent beam quality opens up new capabilities to process sensitive materials such as thin films, where melt lips can be greatly reduced and even eliminated. p250 – 250 Watts Average Power The Synrad p250 has excellent stability and up to 800 Watts peak pulse power, combined they limit the heat affected zone (HAZ), delivering cuts and perforations with minimal discoloration and melt. With zero contact to the target material, the Synrad p250 is the perfect solution for sensitive high-speed cutting applications. Surface deformation commonly associated with mechanical cutting systems is eliminated. p400 – 400 Watts Average Power With 400 Watts of average power, and 1 kW of peak pulse power the p400 delivers high cut quality with very fast processing speeds. The unique user switchable pulse/continuous wave modes make the Synrad p400 the most versatile laser source available. Easier field serviceability with a modular electronics package makes the Synrad p400 the first choice for high speed industrial processing systems.
Perfect For Heat Sensitive Materials: User controlled pulse/continuous wave operation modes enable application flexibility. Peak pulse power delivers energy more efficiently and minimizes heat affected zone (HAZ) to better process heat sensitive materials such as thin films, glass, and ceramics.
Create Intricate Features: Integrated beam conditioning guarantees a high quality, circular output beam for precise cutting, drilling and intricate feature details. Excellent power and divergence stability delivers consistent, high quality processing results
Real-Time Monitoring: Real-time performance monitoring (p250 & p400) reduces unplanned downtime with onboard advanced diagnostics that are Industry 4.0 ready
