The ARROW® family of lasers are unsurpassed in CO2 laser technology, the most productive beam characteristics in industrial lasers. Designed like all CONVERGENT LASER products to be the most reliable and consistent CO2 laser products on the market today. ARROW lasers are DC-excited, slow axial flow lasers, incorporating a refocusing resonator and a solid-state switching power supply. Rigorous engineering and thorough environmental testing have produced a laser that is both highly stable and reliable, with processing performance that has become the benchmark for lasers in its power class.

The versatile ARROW lasers offer both CW and enhanced pulse operation over a wide dynamic range with repeatable beam characteristics. This provides the best in processing capability and flexibility. Best suited for applications requiring quality standards that cannot easily be equaled by fast axial flow lasers. ARROW lasers feature long-term reliability with low operating costs and simple, safe operation. The laser is easy to install and supports many integration options with system controllers. Features include:

   
Ø Enhanced pulsing >5 times the rated CW power
Ø High brightness beam (m2) for greatest power density
Ø Unique resonator structure provides fast warm-up and excellent temporal and spatial stability
Ø Solid-state power supply for reliable, low maintenance operation
Ø Gas recycler reduces premixed laser gas consumption to 40 liters/hour
Ø Flexible controls interface
Ø Low operating costs
 
Resonator Features:
Ø Remote tuning for quick and safe adjustments
Ø Symmetrical thermal loading: fast warm up, stable operation
Ø Kinematic mounting for excellent beam quality and pointing stability
Ø Refocusing resonator produces a low divergence, superior quality beam - the design goal of all Convergent lasers
 
Power Supply Features:
Ø Independent control of pulse peak, pulse plateau and overall pulse width
Ø Proven SCR resonant design of the converter/inverter for superior performance
Ø High voltage components sealed in a water-cooled tank to optimize heat transfer and protect from environmental contamination
 
Controls/Interface Features:
Ø GE/Fanuc 90-30 programmable logic controller
Ø Versatile interface can operate the laser from CNC or local control
