Expanded Material Possibilities
For the maximum in material processing versatility, consider the PLS6MW Multi-Wavelength Laser Platform. Unique among laser systems, the PLS6MW can make use of three different laser wavelengths to process the broadest spectrum of materials and applications. The multi-wavelength functionality of the PLS6MW can be used to accomplish some tasks which are impossible if only one laser wavelength is used.
1.06 micron wavelength – Fiber Laser
When configured with a 1.06 micron pre-aligned interchangeable fiber laser, the PLS6MW fiber laser marking machine can mark most metals and some plastics.
10.6 micron wavelength – CO2 Laser
Reconfigure the PLS6MW with a standard 10.6 micron pre-aligned interchangeable CO2 laser to open up the full breadth of organic material processing capabilities.
9.3 micron wavelength – CO2 Laser
Reconfigure the PLS6MW with a specialized 9.3 micron pre-aligned interchangeable CO2 laser for excellent results on certain highly-functional plastics.
Laser Technology Benefits
- Software Controlled – The laser can be controlled by any software with a print function.
- Multi-Material – Process an endless number of materials available today and in the future.
- Multi-Process – Cut, engrave, mark, and produce photo images in one step.
- Non Contact – Modify material without applying any physical force.
- On Demand – Produce everything you need in real time, without waiting for hard tooling.
Uniquely Universal Features
Universal Laser Systems is an innovator in the field of laser engraving, laser cutting and laser marking equipment. The laser material processing systems ULS manufacture are the product of decades of experience and a commitment to research and development. ULS laser systems deliver everything you have come to expect from a high quality product—including excellent precision, performance and reliability—but they also offer several exclusive features unique to Universal. These patented, proven laser processing innovations were designed to make laser processing more effective, productive and profitable. And you can only get them from Universal Laser Systems.
ULR Laser Sources
Universal’s patented air-cooled free-space gas slab lasers produce an excellent quality beam with even power distribution and good near and far-field characteristics, making them ideal for laser material processing.
High Power Density Focusing Optics™
High Power Density Focusing Optics (HPDFO) allow the laser beam to be focused to a much smaller spot, making it possible to engrave smaller text and produce sharper images at tighter tolerances.
Laser Interface+™
This materials-based driver automatically determines the optimum processing settings for your target material. Just select the material type, enter the material thickness, and start the laser system.
1-Touch Laser Photo™
1-Touch Laser Photo is a proprietary software package that makes it quick and easy to produce photographic images on nearly any material. Download 30-day Free Trial
Rapid Reconfiguration™ of Lasers
Laser platforms with Rapid Reconfiguration can be reconfigured with new laser sources in seconds, without tools. This allows you to configure your laser system to suit the task at hand, increasing quality and throughput.
Multi-Wavelength Technology
This new Multi-wavelength platform is engineered to support our new laser sources which produce 1.06 micron fiber wavelength light and 9.3 micron CO2 wavelength light as well as our traditional CO2 lasers producing 10.6 micron wavelength light.
