Pulse Tune Technology

SPIs PulseTune technology provides the ability to select

waveforms, offering 25 pulse widths from 10ns up to
240ns. Each pulse waveform is optimised for maximum
peak power and pulse energy at its preferred operational
frequency. This gives users of the HS series greater
control of pulse conditions over the full pulse repetition
range.

Beam Options
S type - Single moded fiber lasers, M
2
1.3, offering
high beam quality, capable of small focal spot sizes with
high peak intensity and high depth of field. Ideally suited
to applications requiring small feature sizes.
L type - Extremely versatile, low moded fiber lasers,
1.6 M
2
2.0. Usable for the vast majority of marking
and micro-machining applications. The slightly larger
spot size gives visible line widths with standard scanners
and optics. The lower peak intensity enables these
lasers to be used on sensitive materials.
H type - High moded fiber lasers, 2.6 M
2
3.7, with
higher pulse energy, peak power and average powers.
The beams broad energy distribution enables wider line
spacing, improving fill characteristics for fast, large area
processing. The higher pulse energy is particularly suited
to deep engraving applications.
