3 Fiber laser: 20W-30W-50W Options Fiber Lasers are a great leap forward in processing all metal and coated soft material applications. Our Fiber Lasers are easily integrated into industrial processes in comparison with conventional lasers due to: State of the art, Air-cooled, Ytterbium Q-switched Fiber Laser up to 2mJ for marking on virtually any material CW or Q-switched Fiber laser options with high-repetition rate Excellent TEM 00 beam quality (M2 < 1.05) Exceptionally High Reliability with more than 30,000 hours estimated maintenance-free operation Very high 50,000 hours MTBF (100,000 hours typical on diodes) Flexible cable-beam delivery system - No water cooling required Optimized for Direct Part Marking (DPM) applications including UDI/UID Barcoding and 3D Deep-Engraving Red diode pointer for easy application setup - Fiber delivery up to 5 meters Warranty 2 years on laser components with 5 years optional program Q-switched Fiber Laser The Q-switched Fiber Laser was specifically designed for maintenancefree OEM applications. It delivers a diffraction limited (M2<1.05) laser beam directly to the worksite via a metal sheathed single-mode fiber cable. These compact service-free Fiber Lasers are designed to operate under high shock, vibration and dust conditions in relatively high humidity across wide operating temperature ranges. Wall-plug efficiencies up to 50% result in a compact size, reduced utilities, and trouble-free air cooling. There is no routine replacement of parts or materials scheduling; they require only a low voltage power source. Fiber-to-Fiber architecture enhancements provide a robust, monolithic design with no optics to align or maintain, no mechanics to stabilize and engineered for both optimal focusable power and high power densities needed for the most demanding applications. Extremely Small and Compact Design Fantom CO2 Slab Laser: 30W-100W Options CO2 Slab lasers are a great leap forward in laser technology. Our CO2 lasers are more easily integrated into industrial processes in comparison with conventional lasers due to: Designed to operate under high shock, vibration & dust conditions Sealed off and RF Excited CO2 Slab laser CW or Pulsed CO2 laser options Excellent TEM 00 beam quality (M2 < 1.2) Exceptionally Outstanding Reliability with more than 10,000 hours estimated maintenance-free operation Sealed dust-proof design No need for gas refill during the warranty period Flexible cable-beam delivery system - No water cooling required Optimized for maintenance-free Direct Part Marking (DPM) applications including barcoding and engraving Red diode pointer for easy application setup (Optional) Warranty 2 years on laser components with 5 years optional program 3 P a g e

4 Fantom F30/F100 CO2 SLAB Laser The Fantom F30/F100 CO2 Slab Lasers are completely sealed units requiring no gas connections producing a beam that processes material at an average power of 30W/100W respectively. These CO2 lasers provide a low M2 (<1.3), high quality beam that allows smaller focus spot sizes and incorporates Fonon Technologies proprietary fast-rising square wave pulsing technology with repetition rates up to 25 khz with output wavelengths of 10.6 microns. Extremely Small and Compact Design Scanning Head The Scan Head is designed to quickly and precisely deflect and position laser beams with powers up to the kilowatt range. With apertures of 20mm and 25mm, small spot sizes are achieved along with large image fields. Very stable operating conditions as well as high long-term stability are provided by air cooling of the entrance aperture, electronics, and galvanometer scanners supplemented by air cooling of the deflection mirrors. The compact housing is dust proof and water spray resistant.

6 FiberScan C3 Software FiberScan C3 software is a high performance, multi-threaded laser marking solution designed to specifically run on Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional. The user-friendly software entails a fully integrated driver, remote diagnostic capabilities for worldwide support and multiple hardware interfaces for the ability to execute any CO 2 or Fiber Laser marking system. File links to several internal databases make the FiberScan C3 program flexible and powerful. These databases include a materials application system and a fixture database. The materials application system allows a user to define a laser process, give the process a unique name and subsequently link the process to graphic programs. A process can include multiple passes using different values for power, frequency and speed on each laser pass. The database can contain and manage many thousands of different process recipes. The fixture database allows the user to control fixture offsets and define step and repeat processes. Just like the material database, any WLJ job can use any fixture defined in the fixture database. The links allow all appropriate graphic and process information to be automatically loaded when the operator selects the lasing file. At any time the operator can change the links, for example a lasing job that is normally marked on stainless steel, can be marked on brass by selecting the brass process file prior to executing the job program file. Operators don t have the need to remember fonts and logos for a particular job because FiberScan C3 automatically performs all required graphic loading. FiberScan C3 does not require users to learn any programming languages or special codes and provides all of the flexible and graphic controls that users are accustomed to such as radial marking, aspect control, character spacing, angular rotations and full justification. Red Aligning Laser Beam: Positions the marking image on the part included in all Fiber Laser-based systems and optional for CO2 Laser-based systems. Precision Linear Bearings Tracks: For Rotary Indexer and Tail-Stock support positioning Frame Design: Rigid, light aluminum extrusion providing excellent protection of equipment corners and rigid, stiff design for long term stability. 6 P a g e

13 Application Research Center Laser Photonics maintains an applications lab for processing customer samples and assisting with process development. Our applications lab has the latest testing equipment to analyze all of your application needs. For marking applications, we provide the highest quality analysis of each and every mark using our Mark Quality Assessment (MQA ) software. With our MQA software, we have the ability to guarantee and verify the accuracy and quality of our marks. The screen shot demonstrates how the MQA software reads the level of pixels in the material marked. The section in red has been analyzed with the MQA software. The high and low pixel values demonstrate the overall contrast of the mark. This procedure can be applied to various different marking processes and types generated by our Fiber Laser marking systems.

Safety Considerations During Operation 1064 nm wavelength laser light emitted from this laser system is invisible and may be harmful to the human eye. Proper laser safety eyewear must be worn during operation. 21 CFR Compliance The product is a Class 4 laser as designated by the CDRH and MEET the full requirements for a stand-alone laser system as defined by 21 CFR under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of As an added level of security, a redundantly switched safety interlock system helps prevent accidental exposure to excess laser radiation. Plus, the system is equipped with an electrical power manual reset, a key-locked laser power switch and a remote interlock connector. Finally, the system has audible and visible emission indicators with five (5) second emission delay settings. All these features, in combination, constitute the laser radiation safety system, which allows the LaserTower Series of equipment be used in a safe and secure manner.
