Lee Laser introduces the Series 600 Pulse-pumped Nd:YAG Lasers for high-speed
micromachining applications. Designed with the same industrial-grade ruggedness of our
highly successful Series 800 CW (continuous-wave) and Q-switched Nd:YAG Lasers, the new
Series 600 brings Lee Laser performance reliability to heavier-duty applications such as thin
metal and gasket cutting and micro-drilling.
The flashlamps of the Series 600 lasers operate in a pulsed mode, rather than a continuous
mode. For each pulse of the lamp, a laser pulse of approximately the same time duration is
produced.
Pulse width, pulse energy and pulse rate all are selectable via front panel controls.
Thumbwheel pulse-width selection provides a resolution
to 10µs. For micro-drilling
applications, pulse widths as short as 20µs can be achieved.
For external control of pulse rate and pulse energy, input ports accept control signals from a
user-supplied computer or microprocessor. The laser accepts either an 8-bit digital or an
analog voltage input signal to control pulse energy.
Series 600 Pulsed Nd:YAG Lasers are ideally suited for beam delivery through both
conventional beam delivery systems such as the Model LBD-700, as well as fiber optic beam
delivery systems such as the Series LBD/FFO. For more information, please refer to Lee
Laser technical bulletins on these subjects.
The Series 600 Pulsed Nd:YAG Lasers were developed by Lee Laser specifically to cut thin
metal parts with a high level of dimensional precision. The Model 650M/CD has become a
popular laser for the manufacture of two products in widely divergent markets:
Stencil Masks to apply resistive and conductive pastes to surface mount substrates
Medical Stent devices for use in balloon angioplasty
