The Talon Ace UV100 laser represents a significant advancement in high-power, pulsed nanosecond UV laser technology for precision micromachining applications. With its impressive output of over 100W and more than 500 µJ of pulse energy, the device stands out in its category. It incorporates TimeShift programmable pulse technology, which allows for enhanced control over pulse energy, width, and repetition rate, optimizing material removal in micromachining applications. The versatile laser can produce pulse widths from less than 2 ns to more than 50 ns, maintaining a steady repetition rate up to 5 MHz, or alternatively, a constant pulse width with variable repetition rates. The Talon Ace UV100 laser is fully automated, with computer-controlled systems ensuring consistent beam pointing stability and energy stability. Additionally, its robust design, highlighted by the Active Laser Purification System (ALPS) and extensive environmental testing, ensures reliability for demanding 24/7 industrial operations. The laser is fully compatible with Ophir's power sensing equipment for precise output power verification.
