LASER TECHNOLOGY FEATURE


LITTLE AND LARGE LASER MARKING AND CUTTING TECHNOLOGIES


TLM Laser is the UK distributor for a wide range of laser processing technologies from some of the world’s leading manufacturers. The latest additions to its comprehensive portfolio


include the FOBA Titus system, said to be the world’s smallest and lightest fibre laser head, and two new highly flexible laser cutting platforms from Universal Laser Systems


T


he new Titus Vector Scan laser marking head is just over 20 centimeters in length


and weighs in at just 630 grams. Available as part of the new 20 Watt or 30 Watt FOBA fibre laser marking systems (Y.0200-xs / Y.0300-xs), this new and innovative system offers unprecedented flexibility in terms of line integration, usability and speed.


The new compact Titus marking head offers the option of either a straight or 90 degrees exit angle for the laser beam


Supporting the compact Titus system is


another first, a new browser based interface, which means users can use any browser on any device to control their FOBA Laser System. Using FOBA Go means that users are not affected by revisions or upgrades to traditional operating systems. Typically, as these operating systems become older they are either incapable of being upgraded or ongoing support is withdrawn rendering them useless. FOBA Go, Linux-based remote laser


software, on the other hand can be operated using any PC, Touch Screen, Tablet or other mobile device such as your phone. All of the major browsers such as Google, Firefox, Safari, TCT, etc. and all industrial communication protocols are compatible. Other useful


The Titus marking head can be easily


integrated into a wide range of production lines. Due to its small format and tubular shape, the marking head is easily mounted with a simple clamping bracket, and is available with an optional supply line up to ten meters in length. Its flexibility is further enhanced through the option of either a straight or 90 degrees exit angle for the laser beam, together with the ability to adjust the marking field size to the specific application requirements. During installation, users can expect to save


of up to 90% of the time normally required for installation of a laser marking system. An integrated pilot laser and focus finder significantly reduce the time required for adjustment and focus.


features of this new innovation include the ability to control multiple lasers using several different tabs within your browser.


FLEXIBLE MULTI-WAVELENGTH MATERIAL PROCESSING SYSTEMS The Universal Laser Systems ULTRA X5000 and ULTRA X6000 platforms offer laser material processing for the widest possible range of materials. They are designed for precision material processing within manufacturing, research and development, academic research, and prototyping environments. With their modular architecture, customisable


solutions can be easily reconfigured with a wide array of options for enhancing performance, capability, and safety to deliver the perfect


Universal Laser’s new platforms ULTRA X5000 (left) and ULTRA X6000 (right)


solution that will meet booth present and future business needs. The ULTRA R5000 platform has a materials


processing envelope of 813mm x 610mm with support for materials with a thickness up to 305mm. The ULTRA R5000 platform can be configured with up to two laser sources consisting of two interchangeable CO2 one CO2


lasers or laser and one fibre laser. The ULTRA


X6000 platform has a slightly larger work envelope of 914 x 610mm and can also accept materials up to a thickness up to 305mm. Users can configure the ULTRA X6000 platform with up to three laser sources: consisting of two interchangeable CO2


lasers and one fibre laser. When these highly flexible platforms are


configured with two or three lasers – two for the X5000 and three for the X6000 – users can take full advantage of MultiWave Hybrid technology, enabling up to three wavelengths – 9.3μm, 10.6μm, and 1.06μm – to be simultaneously combined into a single coaxial beam. Each spectral component of the beam is independently controlled and can be modulated in real time. Major features and options for these


systems include multiple laser support, rapid laser beam positioning, precision material- independent autofocus, controllable laser power density, automation interface, multi- camera vision & registration, over temperature detection, and support for fire suppression, and an integrated touch screen control panel in the case of the X6000. These new Universal Laser and FOBA


systems are just a small part of the wide range of laser based technologies and systems available from Bromsgrove based TLM Laser.
