CO2 Laser Lenses Cut Acrylic Plastic Signs Accurately

Oct. 30, 2017
Laser Research Optics offers CO2 lenses for accurate laser cutting.

A line of CO2 laser lenses that are offered in a variety of focal lengths to optimize the cutting and etching of acrylic plastic signs are available.

 

CO2 Lenses come in short focal lengths for making precise cuts on thinner materials and in longer focal lengths for deeper cuts on thicker materials to meet exact user requirements. Featuring focal lengths from 1.5 to 4 in. (38 to 102 mm) in 0.5-in. increments, they are optimized for 10.6 microns and conform to OEM and ISO-10110 specifications for optical elements.

 

Lenses are A/R coated and dual-band coatings are available to aid in system alignment. They are drop-in field replacements for popular lasers used for cutting and engraving plastics including Epilog, Kern, Trotec, and Universal. Laser mirrors are also offered made from copper and silicon 0.4 to 0.5 in. (10 to 13 mm) thick.
