Trotec laser systems are equipped with a new line of CO2 laser sources from the US-based OEM manufacturer Iradion Laser, Inc. The patented laser source concept represents reliability, high engraving quality and longevity. The resonator body where the laser radiation is generated is made of 100% ceramic.
Perfect body
CeramiCore® technology totally redefines the basic laser source. Most laser sources are comprised of all-metal, and sometimes glass laser sources. CeramiCore's ceramic design provides tremendous benefits compared to all metal or glass lasers. There are no aluminum welds or sealings, which could leak over time. This is guaranteed by the production process. Two ceramic half shells are fused together to form the resonator during manufacturing. The ceramic resonator is fired at 800 degrees and the burning process effectively cleans the interior surface immaculately.
Pure gas composition
All the optical elements are glued onto the ceramic, and the electrodes are mounted on the outside of the resonator. The gas is excited through the ceramic body. This means that there are no interior metal surfaces that could upset the gas mixture's equilibrium. The result is a pure gas composition over the entire lifetime of the laser source -- and the longest lifetime is guaranteed.
Fastest pulse speeds for highest engraving quality
Ceramic lasers can be operated at much greater pressures, which results in faster pulse speeds, which in turn are critical for high speed engraving and marking applications. Laser users can benefit from highest engraving quality. In addition, the electronics' innovative architecture features a lower energy consumption. Benchmark tests show a reduction of up to 30%.
Seamless integration
The laser sources have been perfectly optimized for Trotec laser systems to maximize the CeramiCore® technology's benefits.
