As the demand for finer detailed engraving and cutting increases, Universal Laser Systems has developed the High Power Density Focusing Optics (HPDFO) option.
It produces a smaller, focused laser beam “spot” than a standard laser beam delivery, optical system. Depending on the type of material being processed, and the desired effect, the effective spot size produced by this option can be as small as 1/4 th the size of the spot produced by a standard 2.0 inch focusing lens.
HOW DOES IT WORK: The HPDFO consists of two parts, the Beam Expander assembly, which is mounted in place of the Beam Window, and the High Resolution Optics assembly, which replaces the Focus Lens assembly. Through specialized optics, the HPDFO expands the diameter of the laser beam and concentrates that expanded energy at the focus point to produce a smaller focused spot that has a much higher power density.
APPLICATIONS: With a smaller spot size (higher power density), and depending on your application material, you can engrave smaller text, produce higher resolution graphics and photographs, vector mark and cut thinner lines, and cut deeper with the same laser power. It is even possible to scribe and/or etch some uncoated metals, such as stainless steel, directly without the assistance of chemicals or coatings.
HPDFO Optics achieves dramatically improved resolution for applications requiring extremely fine detail (small font sizes) or photos.
COMPATIBILITY: M, V, X and XL Series laser systems; field retrofit kits are available for older machines.
