UNIVERSAL LASER SYSTEMS - Industrial Laser Series Features/Benefits

• View 1

  • Side Door:

    Side doors open for Class 4 pass-through capability to accommodate oversize work pieces. Optional Class 4 Module allows for CDRH compliant switching between Class 1 and Class 4 modes (patent pending).
    Quick attach/disconnect design includes key switch, emissions indicator and safety time delay.

  • Front Door:

    Front loading door provides easy access for inserting materials and work trays.

  • Top:

    Tri-layer laminated safety glass window is heat- and scratch-resistant and provides excellent view of work table.

• View 2

  • Rapid Reconfiguration:

    Smart laser cartridge technology provides auto-detection of power level, system diagnostics and variable laser cooling fan speed control. Patented Rapid Reconfiguration™ and Quick Change Laser™ technology allow the user to easily upgrade ILS laser power in minutes without tools.

• View 3

  • Auto Sensor (Shielded Optics):

    Carriage-mounted, non-contact, ultrasonic auto focus allows for quick and precise set-up. Users can set and run multiple focus settings in same job.

  • Built-in Exhaust:

    Built-in exhaust flow detector warns if exhaust air flow is off when a job is running.

  • Kevlar Belts & Bearings:

    Covered stretch-free Kevlar belts provide accurate positioning at high speeds and ensure long life without the need for lubrication, maintenance or adjustments. Covered V-groove rail system never needs lubrication and shields belts, air hoses and bearings from dust and debris. Motion system bearings are permanently sealed, selfadjusting and self-lubricating for years of trouble-free service life and excellent engraving quality.

• View 4

  • E-stop:
  • LCD:

    Optional LCD display (included with optional embedded computer) shows full color preview of jobs.

  • User Interface:

    User Interface allows user to modify files while they're running.

UNIVERSAL LASER SYSTEMS - Industrial Laser Series Applications/Accessories

• Specification 1

  • Pass-Through Class 4 Module
    Optional Class 4 Module allows for CDRH compliant conversion between Class 1 to Class 4 mode (patent pending) to accommodate oversize work pieces. Quick attach/disconnect design includes key switch, emissions indicator and safety time delay. This option converts an ILS into a properly configured Class 4 laser system. Class 4 operation has the potential to expose the user to invisible high power laser radiation. Special precautions must be taken when operating a Class 4 laser system. (Additional information available upon request.)

• Specification 2

  • Traveling Exhaust
    All-new Traveling Exhaust design is attached to the motion arm and captures dust, fumes and debris before they can contaminate the work area. Highly efficient design lowers noise levels and energy costs.

• Specification 3

  • Rotary Fixture Attachment
    The Rotary Fixture attachment can be installed or removed without the need to restart the system and can accommodate most cylindrical items up to 10 inches in diameter. Holds part on both ends, accommodates taper, can be run in high speed raster mode with lighter objects and also runs in vector mode. Rotates beyond 360 degrees in order to ensure full wrap-around engraving. Wine bottles, coffee mugs and geometrically-shaped items can be rotated. A sensor detects the rotary attachment when installed and automatically makes all of the adjustments necessary for rotary marking and engraving.

• Specification 4

  • Downdraft Honeycomb Cutting Table
    Downdraft Honeycomb Cutting Table provides a cutting surface with minimal back reflection and light vacuum hold-down; removes smoke from below cut, reducing potential of damage to bottom surface of material; and improves cutting quality. A sensor detects the presence of a cutting table when it is installed and automatically adjusts the Z-axis to place materials at the proper focus. Attached rulers assist in accurate part positioning. The cutting table greatly reduces need to clean the work surface and convenient drawers make clean-up easy.

• Specification 5

  • High Power Density Focusing Optics (HPDFO)™
    Exclusive, patented ULS optics increases the power density of the laser to achieve dramatically improved resolution for applications requiring extremely fi ne detail. HPDFO makes it possible to engrave smaller text, produce higher resolution graphics and allows direct marking on some bare metals, including iron, stainless steel, chrome steel and titanium, without the need for metal marking compounds.

• Specification 6

  • Embedded Computer with Color Display
    Embedded computer option eliminates the need for an external computer, allowing for true stand-alone operation in production environments. Allows ethernet connectivity. The embedded computer option includes a 7” color LCD display which allows the operator to preview and select stored jobs and change job settings while a job is running. This option is ideal for high volume production environments where the task of creating artwork is separate from operating the machine. (Available 2008.)

• Specification 7

  • Back Sweep for Air Assist
    The Back Sweep attachment directs high pressure air toward the exhaust duct to suppress flaming and direct smoke, fumes and debris away from the material being processed. This is particularly useful for rubber or other materials that produce a lot of dust and debris during the engraving process. Recommended for use with the Computer-Controlled Compressed Air Unit.

• Specification 8

  • Cone for Air Assist
    The Air Assist Cone directs high pressure air onto the material being processed to suppress flaming, thus improving cutting or engraving quality. This is particularly useful for cutting wood or other materials. Recommended for use with the Computer-Controlled Compressed Air Unit.

UNIVERSAL LASER SYSTEMS - Industrial Laser Series Step by Step

• Laser Interface +

  In automatic mode, Laser Interface calculates the optimum processing settings for a wide range of materials. Simply select the material type and enter its thickness in the on-screen menu, click "print" and Laser Interface does the work for you.
  
  In manual mode, Laser Interface gives you complete control over system settings. There are many advanced settings in manual mode that allow for extremely fine control of cutting and engraving operations settings on critical jobs. Intensity sliders allow you to fine-tune default settings.
  
  You can toggle between automatic and manual modes at any time for "live" control of speed and power settings while a job is running, then adjust and save the parameters if desired in a custom database.

• Automatic Job File

  Materials-based print driver automatically calculates system power and speed settings for you. Simply select the material you are processing, type in the thickness and print.

• Manual Job File

  You can switch from automatic to manual mode for “live” control over power, speed and other system settings at any time, even while a job is running.

• Job File

  You can store and re-run up to 2,000 jobs without the need to open the graphic software and change settings while a job is running.

• Custom Database

  Users can create new material processing settings or clone, edit and store existing material processing settings in a custom database. This exclusive feature is by far the easiest and most comprehensive way to rerun unique or specialized materials.
