The LKit30
December 28, 2011
The LKit 30 is completely sealed, requires no gas connections and produces a beam that processes material at an average power of 30W. This is due to the combination of a low M2 (<1.3) high quality laser beam that allows smaller focus spot sizes and unique fast-rising square wave pulsing characteristics. F30 CO2 lasers can be pulsed at repetition rates up to 25 kHz. This unit offers 30W of power and output wavelengths of 10.6 microns. It provides the greatest flexibility to both end-users and OEM system integrators.

The Canyon™ Deep-Engraving System
December 28, 2011
The Canyon™ Deep-Engraving System by Fonon Technologies is ideal for performing precision deep 2D and 3D engravings on metal surfaces. By combining fiber laser technology, proprietary FiberScan C3 software and industrial grade-safety enclosures, these systems are quickly replacing outdated methods (Nd:Yag systems, mechanical scribing and acid etching). The Canyon™ Deep-Engraving System uses a unique combination of high energy pulses for deeper material penetration while creating perfect edge quality with straight & smooth walls in unmatched cycle times. These systems are specifically designed for high speed metal removal with no re-melting while being able to perform enhanced image detailing and finesse engraving.
The Canyon™ Deep-Engraving System has been built to operate in the harshest industrial conditions while operating on a 24 hour shift. Each unit is built with a custom exhaust system and custom forced air for ventilation and particle collection which promptly removes the dust particles created when deep engraving metals. To prevent any system corruptions or malfunctions the electronics are stored completely separated from the sealed processing chamber.

Fiber vs. CO2 Comparison
December 28, 2011
| CO2 Laser (3000W) | Fiber Laser (3000W) | |
|---|---|---|
| Laser System | Laser based on a gas mixture in which light is amplified by carbon dioxide molecules. | Diode Pumped Laser with a doped fiber as gain medium where most of the laser module is made of fiber |
| Reflectivity | CO2 lasers are less effective for cutting highly reflective materials, since much of the beam is reflected back towards the source and not absorbed by the substrate. As a result, higher power levels are required for cutting as compared to fiber lasers. | Much less power is required for cutting reflective materials like aluminum or copper since more of the laser energy is absorbed by the substrate. This allows for intricate highquality cutting at higher efficiencies than comparable laser cutting systems. |
| Reliability (MTBF) | Only around 20,000 hours | 50,000 to 100,000 hours |
|
Power Consumption Electrical Power Requirements (Average United States)'s Average Power Cost: $0.1002 per kWh Based on 2 10-hour shifts and 250 working days per year. |
High Power Consumption Laser Consumption: 54 kW Chiller Consumption: 32 kW (Estimate) Calculation: 20h/day * (54kW+32kW) * $0.1002/kWh * 250days $43,086 per year |
Very Low Power Consumption Laser Consumption: 14 kW Chiller Consumption: 11kW (Estimate) Calculation: 20h/day * (14kW+11kW) * $0.1002/kWh * 250days $12,525 per year |
| Maintenance | Maintenance & Service Costs: $35,000 per year Estimated Purge Gas Consumables: Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Helium Estimated Gas Cost: $7.66/h Calculation: $7.66/h * 20h/day * 250days $38,300 per year |
• Minimum Maintenance • Low Consumables • No cleaning of or alignment of mirrors for beam path |
| Power Efficiency Electrical Power Efficiency |
Only as high as 6-7% | Greater than 30% |
| Beam Quality & Spot Size | — | TEM00 (<1.15) beam profile results in significantly higher power density directed to the material surface. Requires less power for the same result in comparison with CO2 systems. |
| Optical Path/Beam Path | Mirrors and optical path Loss of beam quality and significant power drop |
Flexible Cable (up to 50m) |
