Features, Configuration Components and Specifications

Design File Geometry Preservation A feature that maintains curves in a design file, i.e., circles, ellipses, b-splines, Beziers, and NURBS, and ensures curves are kept throughout the path planning process rather than using linear interpolation.
Multi-Camera Vision & Registration (available) A patent pending feature that provides an augmented reality user interface by superimposing design files on images of the material placed on the material support surface and captured by multiple cameras built into the laser system. The AR user interface facilitates precise alignment of design files using controls that allow the design file to be positioned, rotated, and scaled with real time visual feedback made possible through advanced machine vision algorithms. This feature also supports traditional camera registration workflow using printed registration marks.
Precision Material Independent Autofocus Motorized material support structure (Z-axis) and high-resolution touch sensor.
Rapid ReconfigurationTM A patented technology that enables users to install and reinstall any supported ULS CO2 laser source onto any ULS laser system without tools and optical alignment to optimize laser processing for the widest variety of materials.
Intelligent Materials Database A powerful and unique database that generates laser processing parameters for a wide variety of materials and laser system configurations. If the system configuration changes, the database automatically recalculates the parameter values.
Multi-Wave HybridTM Technology (available) A patented technology that enables a combination of laser wavelengths (up to three wavelengths) to be focused to the same focal point within the same focal plane and used either sequentially or simultaneously.
Controllable Laser Power Density 4X, 1X / 13X (4X included, 1X/13X combination available) A patent pending feature that provides the unique ability to control laser power densities while maintaining a high degree of alignment accuracy of the focal plane with the material surface as well as a Gaussian beam distribution. Power Densities: 1X (Available), 4X (Included) or 13X (Available) for 10.6 μm and 9.3 μm wavelengths; 52X for 1.06 μm Fiber wavelength (when a fiber laser is purchased/installed). Normalized power density (watts/cm2) = power density coefficient x 103 x average laser power (watts). Normalized power density is the power of the material processing laser(s) divided by the area of the focal spot measured at 1/e2.
Dynamic Energy Stabilization A feature that maintains even laser energy delivery regardless of the speed of the motion system.
Line Segment Reduction A user control to reduce excessive line segmentation contained in some design files.
Intelligent Path Planner A comprehensive path planning algorithm that minimizes laser processing completion time.
Vector Acceleration Control A user adjustable control to define acceleration of vector motion for each control file.
Path Deviation Control A user control to adjust the allowable deviation from the intended path to increase throughput.
True Width Raster Processing A feature that eliminates the need for motion system over-travel beyond the edges of the raster image.
SuperSpeedTM Technology (available) A patented feature that produces two focal spots (one for each laser beam) to enable the system to deliver two independently controlled raster lines at a time. SuperSpeedTM requires a laser system equipped with two CO2 lasers of the same wavelength and power.
Automation Interface (available) An addressable device that can receive input signals and provide output signals. Enables the laser system to control external devices and allows external devices to initiate laser system functions.
21” Touch Screen Control Panel(available) A fully integrated 21” (533 mm) touch panel command and control console used to control laser system operation. Eliminates the need for a separate control computer.
Laser System Manager (LSM) An advanced user interface with a high degree of functionality and control that allows users to efficiently manage design files and laser material processing parameters.
Industry Standard Interchange Format Support A software feature that supports industry standard graphic interchange formats including DXF, PDF, and G-Code.
Design File Relocation and Duplication Controls A set of user controls to reposition or duplicate design files anywhere within the material processing field.
Kerf Compensation A user adjustable control that compensates for material width removed during laser cutting in order to achieve desired dimensions without changing the design file. It maintains true arc and circle geometry if present in the design.
User Access Administration A software administration feature for managing multiple user accounts and permissions.

GAS ASSIST
Programmable Gas Assist (requires gas and/or air sources) A feature that allows the user to program gas type and flow rate on a process-by-process basis within a control file.
Optics Protection (requires air source) A barrier of clean air that protects optical components during processing.
Coaxial Gas Assist Attachment A gas assist attachment that directs air (or gas) perpendicular to the material’s surface.
Lateral Gas Assist Attachment (available) An adjustable gas assist attachment that directs air (or gas) laterally or at an angle to the material’s surface.
Air Compressor (available) A compressed air source that delivers optimally conditioned, clean, dry, and oil-free air for optics protection and gas-assisted laser processing.

MATERIAL HANDLING
Multifunction Material Support Structure A built-in aluminum honeycomb work surface designed to keep materials stationary and in focus during laser processing.

AIR FILTRATION and HANDLING
Intelligent Air Filtration UAC 4000 (available) An external accessory that uses a patented dual carbon filter and sensor suite (for CO and VOCs) that filters out laser processing byproducts, monitors filtration performance at every stage, and alerts the operator when predefined contaminant thresholds have been reached. Connects directly to the laser system to turn filtration on and off with laser processing and communicates the status of all aspects of the UAC 4000.

SAFETY and FACILITY
