Introduction to CO2 Laser Galvo Heads
CO2 laser galvo heads are instrumental components in high-speed laser marking and engraving systems. They integrate galvanometer (or galvo) mirrors to precisely steer laser beams for rapid and accurate material processing.
Working Principle
The CO2 laser galvo head works by deflecting a laser beam using two mirrors mounted on galvanometers. Each galvanometer is capable of fast angular movements in X and Y axes, directing the laser beam across a working surface. The accuracy of this deflection allows for fine details in laser engraving and high-speed operations.
Technical Specifications
A typical CO2 laser galvo head has the following specifications:
- Wavelength: 10.6 micrometers
- Maximum scan speed: 7,000 mm/s
- Resolution: 0.001 mm
- Maximum marking area: 300 mm x 300 mm
- Laser power: 10W to 150W
These parameters make CO2 laser galvo heads suitable for intricate design tasks and high-efficiency applications.
Applications
CO2 laser galvo heads are utilized in a variety of industries, including:
- Packaging: For creating precise cuts and engravings
- Textile: To cut and mark fabrics with high accuracy
- Automotive: Used in the production of detailed components and labeling
- Electronics: For engraving circuit elements and housings
