Traveling Exhaust*
Collects laser processing byproducts at the location of laser processing
(required with Class 4 Pass-Through).
Vacuum Booster*
Dedicated vacuum booster that increases the pressure differential
between the chamber and the ambient/atmospheric pressure at the work
surface. Keeps a material stationary on the Multifunction Material
Support Structure.
Programmable Gas Assist
Allows the user to program gas type and flow rate on a process-by-
process basis within a control file.
Optics Protection A barrier of clean air that protects optical components during processing.
Coaxial Gas Assist
A breakaway gas assist attachment that directs air (or gas) perpendicular to
the material’s surface.
Lateral Gas Assist*
An adjustable, breakaway, gas assist attachment that directs air (or gas)
laterally or at an angle to the material’s surface.
Air Compressor*
A compressed air source that delivers optimally conditioned, clean, dry,
and oil-free air for Optics Protection and gas-assisted laser processing.
Intelligent Air Filtration*
(UAC 2000/4000)
Intelligent Air Filtration uses a patented dual carbon filter and sensor
suite (for CO and VOCs) that filters out laser processing byproducts,
monitors filtration performance at every stage, and alerts the operator
when predefined contaminant thresholds have been reached. Connects
directly with the laser system to turn filtration on and off with laser
processing and communicates the status of all aspects of the UAC
2000/4000.
Automation Interface
Addressable device that can receive input signals and provide output
signals. Enables the laser system to control external devices and for them
to initiate laser system functions.
Light Tower
A set of color-coded lights mounted atop a pole used to indicate the
laser system’s status to personnel in visual proximity of the laser system.
E-STOP
Highly visible standards-compliant pushbutton. Once depressed, DC
power to all laser sources, the motion system, and other control
mechanisms is immediately shut off, while aborting all system operations.
Collision Detection
In the event an obstruction from any direction or axis interferes with the
motion system, the ULTRA X6000 laser system immediately stops and
disables its servo motors.
Laser Safety Classification
Class 1 for material processing lasers. Class 2 overall due to red laser
pointer. Can convert to Class 4 with optional Class 4 module.
Safety Interlocks
Safety feature that disables the laser source when interlocks are open as
required by all major international safety standards.
