Rubber cylinder part samples were processed with 100W continuous watt CO2 laser (10.6um) through a 300mm focusing lens at 98% power. Cutting at a rate of 10 inches per second, based on this sample, it will take approximately 6.3 seconds cycle time and four passes.
The Laser Photonics application engineers recommend creating a rotating system to complete entire laser cut. It is also recommended to use the Fantom marking system equipped with a 100 watt CO2 (10.6um) laser and a 300mm focal length lens.
The Fantom F-30 is a world class CO2 Laser Marking and Engraving System for OEM integration and stand alone operation on manufacturing and assembly lines. The F-30 is dimensionally the smallest CO2 laser marking system available on the market today. Wave guide resonator provides the smallest available physical dimensions and highest power/weight ratio. Up to 1000 characters per second writing speed brings F-30 to the level of the fastest marking systems in the industry. The F30SP is completely sealed and requires no gas connections. It is air cooled and does not require any water lines. Combination of a low M2 high-quality laser beam and a unique fast rising square wave pulsing characteristics allows smaller focus spot sizes. The F30SP laser can be pulsed at repetition rates of up to 25kHz.
The Fantom SP laser Marking Kit is the most advanced and fastest Wave Guide CO2 laser marking system available today for integration into production lines, marking, perforating and pharmaceutical equipment.
The F30SP is air cooled, completely sealed, and maintenance free OEM product with PC based DSP controller, mounting hardware, and robust marking software with an easy-to-use graphical user interface.
