3. Functions of the ML-5120A
⇒
Direct diode laser oscillation function
■
The laser is capable of processing workpieces under a small spot diameter.
■
The single laser provides CW and pulse output.
■
The laser employs an LD, which signicantly reduces the number of required
maintenance operations.
■
The laser provides high energy eciency for lower power consumption.
⇒
Laser power feedback control and optional waveform control functions
■
The Laser can handle a wide variety of workpieces. Up to 256 different
settings for weld schedules using waveform control are available.
■
High-repetition laser output (5000 pps max.) supports high-speed processing.
■
The processing schedule can be momentarily switched. This permits high-
speed and high-quality processing.
■
For processing, output can be set to fade in at the start and fade out at the
end also to smooth overlaps at both ends of the weld.
■
Up to 2 deliveries of laser output, including powersharing, are available.
(2-powersharing delivery)
■
Powersharing permits obtaining uniform outputs for each delivery.
■
Various kinds of processing can be done with the moduration function.
⇒
Simple operations and maintenance
■ Fully air-cooled-no coolant or coolant lters needed.
■
Remote control is available because the Laser Controller is detachable.
■
A processing schedule is input from the large-shaped touch panel type color
display. Accordingly, operations can be easily and accurately performed.
■
Language displayed on the Laser Controller can be switched between Japa-
nese and English.
■
A variety of input and output signals allow the Laser to be connected to
automatic machines.
■
Both the laser energy (J) and its mean power (W) are monitored. If the desired
energy range has been preset and the laser energy is out of the range, the
trouble signal is output. This function is provided for quality control purposes.
■
Using the external communication function permits managing data such as
processing schedules and monitor values in centralized form.
⇒
Active heat control function (option)
■
This function varies the laser output while detecting the temperature of the
processing part coaxially with the laser light to control heat input.
⇒
The factory environment can be improved by space saving.
■
The laser power supply and laser light source are integrated into a single
piece for easy transport and installation of the Laser.
⇒
The Laser conforms to the following standards.
Certified to be in compliance with CDRH Standards Part 1040 Sec. 1040.10
