SNF lasers illuminate evenly on target – StockerYale

SNF lasers
SNF lasers from Lasiris is a patented optical laser line generator that is powerful, smart, focused and has differentiated itself as the most uniform laser-line in the market. It is also rugged, shock and vibration resistant and comes with a two year warranty.
The SNF laser's diode is powered up to 200mW, has wavelengths between 635 to 1550 nm and does fan angles of up to 120° (or custom).
Allowing users to strobe or control the output electronically the laser is able to output 9 different patterns from a single optical component.
The patterns include single line, crosshair, parallel lines, 4x4 grid, dot line, 7x7 dot matrix, single circle, 7 concentric circles and a single dot. In conventional optics producing the crosshair pattern required two separate lasers either splitting or recombining one beam to form a crosshair pattern. This design provides superior quality light patterns while avoiding the intricacies of installation alignment and detector calibration.
The SNF laser's focusing ability through a choice of lenses means that a user can customize the laser to the precise requirements of the application.
The 501L for example does the smallest line while the 701L manages a thicker line but maintains it at a longer distance.
StockerYale has set its SNF lasers above the competition through the benefits brought about by its patented beam sharing optics.
Conventional cylindrical optics produce a Gaussian line profile with a bright centre and fading ends resulting in irregularities in light uniformity.
SNF lasers however produce an evenly illuminated line that remains crisp and sharp on both ends.
Some of the applications used by SNF lasers include machine vision, industrial inspection, 3D contour mapping, positioning and visualization, biomedical and high-end alignment.
StockerYale SNF lasers are a powerful, smart and rugged product.
