Laser Articulated Arms
laser articulating arm
Manufactured from high quality components and using advanced calibration techniques, our articulated arms have a global reputation for quality, beam accuracy and stability and reliability.
Articulating arms have a number of key advantages.
- very low power losses
- no effects of dispersion
- no coherence length restrictions
- no bend radius limitations.
- very low operator forces for precise use as the mass is balanced.
- easily designed for co-axial beams of differing wavelengths
- no laser beam to fibre coupling reflected power losses
- enclosed beam protects the operator
- beam optics protected from environmental contamination
flexible mechanisms for the delivery of laser energy
