This laser can output single laser light to multiple optical bers by the functions
of the built-in beamsplitter. This section explains the sharing specications of
this laser.
Laser Light Sharing
The laser light sharing specication is divided into single and powersharing.
At powersharing, laser light is split into multiple beams by beamsplitter and then
transfer them to multiple optical bers to perform processing at multiple points at the
same time. Since laser light is split into multiple beams, the respective laser outputs
become weak.
The ML-5120A main unit is provided with a safety shutter with opening/closing sensor
and beamsplitter(s) according to the sharing specification. At delivery, a sharing
method is initially set.
For this laser, the following 2 types of sharing specication are available.
Sharing method Corresponding model
Single: Output to single optical ber ML-5120A-010
2-powersharing: Simultaneous output to 2 bers ML-5120A-020
Single
A safety shutter is opened to output laser light only to a single optical ber.
The safety shutter is opened, laser light is reflected on the beamsplitter, and then
transferred.
2-powersharing delivery
A safety shutter is opened to branch laser light into 2 beams, so that these beams are
output simultaneously.
The safety shutter is opened, laser light is reected on the beamsplitter and split, and
then simultaneously transferred.
