    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.
    True Position Laser Pulsing A feature that provides optimal laser pulse placement driven by positional feedback from synchronized multi-axis encoders.
    Camera Registration A feature that aligns a control file to registration marks or features on the surface of a material. Compensates for scale, skew, and perspective.
    Precision Material Independent Autofocus Repeatability of ± .0025 in. (63.5 μm) using motorized focus assembly 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 (Included). Normalized power density (watts/cm2) = power density coefficient x 103 x average laser power (watts).
