Laser equipment
DESCRIPTION
CIDETEC´s laser equipment allows the surface of a plastic or a metal material to be textured or to reduce the surface roughness, up to 60%, in specific areas of parts that require a specific surface finish different from the rest of the piece.
- CO2 laser (30W) (Easy Mark)
- Green laser (7W) (TruMark 3220)
- Nd: YAG laser (25W) (Rofin, Power line E25)
- UV Laser (5W) (TruMark 6350)
This asset is completed with:
• Equipment for the evaluation of surface roughness
• Equipment for additional surface characterization (thermography, corrosion, wettability, brightness, mass loss, changes in geometry of the piece, etc.)
MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS
CO2 nanosecond LaserCO2 nanosecond Laser with a maximum power of 30 W and a focal lens f80 that allow processing areas of 53x53 mm. The equipment works in pulsed mode with a beam size of approximately 100 microns under focusing conditions. Aquisition year: 2011
Equipment for the evaluation of surface roughness (contact profilometer, confocal microscope, AFM) and equipment for additional surface characterization (thermography, wettability, brightness, weight loss, changes in geometry of the piece, corrosion, etc.). Currently at CIDETEC, acquired at different times
Green nanosecond laser with a maximum power of 7 W and a focal lens f160 that allow to process areas of 110x100 mm. The equipment works in pulsed mode with a beam size of approximately 30 microns under focusing conditions. Aquisition year: 2011
IR nanosecond laser with 25 W of maximum power and two focal lenses (f160 and f300) that allow processing areas of 120x120 mm and 240x240 mm. The equipment can work either in pulsed or continuous mode. The approximate beam size in focusing conditions is 40 microns and 70 microns, depending on the focal lens. This equipment is also equipped with software that allows focusing the laser beam over a high range of heights (Fast Focusing Module). It also has a rotary axis of parts. Aquisition year: 2010
Nanosecond UV Laser with 25 W of maximum power and a focal lens f160 that allow processing areas of 80x80 mm. The equipment works in pulsed mode with a beam size of approximately 35 microns in focusing conditions. Aquisition year: 2011
