– Key Features
Dual analog control pathways (current and voltage) allow integration with external process control systems and power supplies. The controller accepts both low and high-gain sensor feedback, accommodating a wide range of detector output levels for real-time power regulation. Manual adjustment capability provides operator override when needed, while standby mode maintains laser tube conditioning during idle periods without full shutdown.
– Typical Applications
Cut, engrave, and marking systems using Synrad CO2 lasers. Process automation where external analog command signals (4–20 mA or 0–10 VDC) drive laser power dynamically. Laboratory and prototyping environments requiring flexible power control and manual intervention.
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed exclusively for Synrad 48, 57, 60, and Evolution Series CO2 lasers. Standard ±15 VDC analog input specifications enable connection to PLC outputs, analog function generators, and potentiometer-based control circuits without additional signal conditioning.
