Aim Controls has a full service application facility
that provides testing for CO2, nd:YAG, UV (YAG), and diode
laser applications. If you need to have your materials
analyzed or your material processing approach analyzed,
Aim Controls can provide you with the answers. Contact
Aim Controls for arranging a lab study. Special R&D
projects are welcomed.
can do many applications.
They operate at 10,600 nanometers (also called "far infrared").
Here are some examples:
- Cutting (for example, wood puzzels, plastic parts, cloth
patterns, gaskets)
- Marking (on wood, leather, ceramics, and stainless steel)
- Engraving (marble, granite, wood)
- Welding (plastics, including acrylic, polycarbonate, PETG,
Nylon 6, and ABS)
- Drilling (wood, marble, leather, plastic)
are quite
versatile. They normally operate at 1,600 nanometers ("near
infrared"), but they can also operate with frequency doublers
(green light nanometers) and triplers (ultra violte
light 355 nanometers) Examples include;
- Cutting (on various metals)
- Marking (on various metals)
- Engraving (marble, granite, wood)
- Drilling (circuit boards, ceramics)
are most commonly used as drivers (pumps) for powering nd:YAG lasers. However, they are increasing in power and capability and are becoming a good alternative for a number of direct applications. They operate from the visable spectrum to the near infrared. Typical power frequencies include 808 to 830 nm and 920-950 nm. One of their primary benefits is far greater power efficiency (30 to 40 times). Their light is also relatively easily transmitted with fiber optics. Application examples include;
- Welding (various plastics)
- Marking (on wood, certain metals, and certain plastics)
- Engraving (marble, granite, wood)
- Cutting (various plastics, cloth)
