CERAMICORE® versus Conventional CO2 Lasers
Designed for Long-Lasting Stability
Conventional CO2 lasers use glass or metal tube designs with internal metal electrodes. All these designs enclose the laser gas mixture of carbon dioxide, helium, and nitrogen with metal electrodes and other components.
The laser gas is energized through the electrodes inside the tube. Over time, the internal metal electrodes shed atoms that degrade the laser gas. This also contaminates the internal optics and eventually reduces power.
The CERAMICORE® Innovation
CERAMICORE® technology provides a non-reactive container for the laser gas mixture. The metal electrodes that excite the laser gas are fixed to the outside of the ceramic to prevent contamination.
This way, there is no loss of power and you get a stable laser beam for many years. In the event of laser gas degradation, Iradion provides free refills for a 7-year period from the date of shipment.
Benefits
CERAMICORE® Lasers: a New Standard of Excellence
Superior Part Quality
All Iradion’s CERAMICORE® lasers provide power and stability with the widest power range from 2 % to 100 % programmable wattage. Jobs needing limited energy input or ones requiring maximum power can be easily set up with precision.
Long-Term Reliable Part Production
All lasers can perform when they are new, but can they guarantee consistent and reliable long-term results? CERAMICORE® eliminates laser gas degradation and power loss issues of conventional CO2 lasers.
Maximum Productivity and Uptime
Iradion lasers offer an optional pulsing mode with the fastest pulse rise/fall times in the industry. This translates to productivity gains of up to 4x typical CO2 lasers, while achieving maximum uptime.
