CO2 Lasers

CO₂ TEA LASERS

Available in both our EX5 and EX10 models, the CO₂ TEA laser from GAM LASER is designed to provide high power industrial laser performance in a low cost, high reliability system. The unique linear design of GAM LASER products allows power scaling to be achieved at low incremental cost; thus providing the first cost effective, high power laser.

The EX10-CO₂ gives repetition rates to 100Hz and output power up to 5W. Exceptional dynamic and static gas lifetime is obtained from the total metal/ceramic design and corona preionization system with over 10 million pulses to 90% energy and 8 weeks static gas lifetime. EX5 models produce output energy up to 25mJ with repetition rates to 400Hz.

The CO₂ TEA laser is an all metal/ceramic device and uses the most advanced design of any commercial laser. The laser includes standard features such as active thermal stabilization, constant power and energy control, automatic refill and automatic gas control.

Key Benefits

	Over 50mJ TEM00
	10.6mm or 9.3mm versions available
	Low jitter
	Repetition rates t0 400Hz
	Ideal for micromachining
	High peak power 200kW
	Good focusability
	Computer controlled
	6W average power
	The 9.4mm version of the laser produces cleaner cuts with greatly reduced thermal effects due to high absorption in some material. Absorption in some plastics can be 3-4 times higher at 9.3mm than at 10.6mm.
