LINOS Motorized Variable Magnification Beam Expander
The motorized version of our well-known LINOS® Variable Beam Expanders enables fully automated laser material processing systems, allowing maximum versatility in the design of laser systems. Faster machine setup times can be realized maintaining laser-protection class during readjustment of the system. Individual presets of laser beam magnification and divergence settings are stored and controlled through a provided Windows™ software.
- Continuous variable magnification 1x ...4x or 2x ...8x for wavelength 340-360 nm, 515-540 nm or 1030-1080 nm
- Fused-silica designs
- Continuous variation of exit-beam divergence
- Software running on the Windows™ platform (Win10)
- Automatic change of magnification to reduce machine setup times
- Maintains laser-protection class during readjustment of the beam expander
- All-in-one design, controller integrated
- CE and ROHS conform
- IP 20
