PowerBox
COMPACT LASER CONTROLLER
FOR LAMBDA BEAM LASER MODULES
FOR INDUSTRIAL INTEGRATION
The PowerBox is a miniaturized laser controller for Lambda Beam lasers. It attaches directly to the laser head and is intended for industrial integration where small sizes and weights are important.
KEY FEATURES:
• Attaches directly to the laser head
• Highly compact design
• Straightforward connection via screw-type terminal block
• Digital control via USB (RS-232 on request)
• Powered by 12 – 36 V DC
• Modulation input analog or digital 0 – 5 V DC
• Interlock on/off input
OPERATION:
Important: To avoid damage, always connect the laser head to the laser controller before supplying power to the system.
The connection to the laser head can be locked by moving the slider on the D-SUB connector. The terminal block can be pulled
out and removed from the controller.
All inputs are low if not connected. The "Ready" output indicates that power is supplied to the controller and the operating temperature is reached. To operate the laser continuously at maximum output power, please connect the three input pins (Interlock, TTL and analog modulation) to + 5 V or V CC.
The laser starts operation with a five second delay, as required by CDRH regulation (modification available for OEM integration). Afterwards, you can turn the laser on and off instantly by using the TTL modulation input.
For USB operation, please refer to the Lambda Beam user manual.
STATUS INDICATORS:
green LED: Power on
red LED: Laser emission possible
(actual laser emission depends on input pins)
