ModeCheck
The ModeCheck collimated CO2 laser beam profiling system accurately captures and analyzes industrial lasers of wavelengths around 10.6µm by sampling a percentage of the beam with a spinning mirror. It features an almost complete passthrough beam measurement technique in a lightweight compact design which makes it ideal for periodic performance measurements of CO2 cutting and welding lasers.
Beam sizes from 5-40mm in diameter
Power Levels of 100W to over 5kW (depending on beam size)
USB 2.0 Interface
Available with ModeCheck software included
ModeCheck is designed for the industrial parts manufacturer to reduce the time it takes to change over between different jobs. The user can quickly place the ModeCheck in front of the laser and see and measure, in real-time, the laser beam profile to confirm optimal laser performance. In addition, and when used periodically, the user can compare measurement changes from the same set-up and make necessary laser adjustments, keeping the laser output constant for the same job from day-to-day. Over time the user will be able to see and measure laser degradation to predict and advance schedule down-time needed for periodic maintenance.
ModeCheck eliminates operator exposure to acrylic mode burn hazards while improving product quality and manufacturing efficiency.
Measurements:
In addition to both 2D and 3D graphical image display and save,
the following measurements are made from each image:
ֺ Beam Widths and Diameters
ֺ Beam Position Stability
ֺ Power Density Peak
ֺ Beam Centroid Location
ֺ Elliptical Analysis with Major Axis Orientation
It’s just this easy.
1. Remove Focusing optic or attach the optional MLA
2. Locate the beam center with pointing beam or similar device
3. Place ModeCheck in beam center
4. Turn on Laser
5. Instantly see, measure and electronically store the beam characteristics
Optional Accessories
One must manage the pass-through laser beam by collecting the beam using either a power meter or beam dump. We recommend using a power meter as the additional measurement information will assist in managing laser optimization. Note that any beam dump or power meter large enough to handle 5-10kW will require water cooling. There are holes on the bottom of ModeCheck for mounting the Power Meter Head or Beam Dump.
A ruggedized storage/carrying case is highly recommended for safe and efficient handling.
ModeCheck makes instantaneous beam measurements along with graphically displaying both the 2D and 3D power density distribution
The ModeCheck Lens Adapter (MLA) is an option that will enable a ModeCheck to recollimate a focused CO2 laser beam. The advantage of using this adapter is that the focusing head of the machine does not have to be removed, which is the normal case for a ModeCheck without this adapter. The disadvantage is that the ModeCheck must be positioned further from the output head in order to properly recreate the collimated beam profile. The re- collimating lens must be supplied by the user and must be the same lens that is used on the lasers cutting head. (See application note: SP90329).
A PC is required to run the ModeCheck imaging software. The camera is powered over the USB cable that connects the computer to ModeCheck.
