3.2 Laser head
The scanner and laser head are both fixed to an axis.
The laser crystal in the laser head is
excited to emit the beam via the laser diode beam by the control unit. The laser diode beam
is fed by means of a quartz glass fiber cable.
The laser beam emerges from the laser head and, after passing the scanner’s deflecting
mirror, is used for the inner engraving.
The laser beam is issued in the form of short pulses.
As the pulse current of the laser diodes increases so does the height of the laser pulse and,
thus, the pulse energy. The size of the pulse energy directly affects the size of the point in
the glass or plastic.
Since laser beams are dangerous to the eyes and can cause skin burns, the laser class 1
systems are equipped with doors and a safety circuit which automatically shuts the laser
down in the case of a fault or opening the doors.
