Luxinar shines a light on 25 years of laser innovations in 2023

Luxinar, a leader in laser manufacturing, is proud to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2023. Luxinar has been at the forefront of laser technology for 25 years and is a leading manufacturer of sealed carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser sources up to 1000W and, more recently, ultrashort pulse sources. To date, we have an installed base of over 20000 lasers worldwide. See our company timeline here: Luxinar celebrates its 25th anniversary - Luxinar.

Yannick Galais, Sales Director at Luxinar, explains: “We are excited to offer several additions to our laser source portfolio. Our ultrashort pulse laser developments in the IR, UV and green spectrums are opening opportunities in new applications, including glass separation, surface functionalisation, micro welding and micro-via drilling. And our established CO₂ laser technology, ideally suited to organic materials processing, is helping our customers reduce their carbon footprint. These products benefit from the support of our global pre-and aftersales technical teams who work with our customers to develop new applications, improve existing processes and provide laser expertise whenever needed.”

CO₂ laser sources

Luxinar's CO₂ laser sources have consistently been the preferred choice for numerous industries for many years and the company has two new additions to its established SR series: the SR e series and the SR x series.

SR e series – higher peak power

The SR e 9.3µm series, specifically designed for the electronics industry, offers high peak power and low heat-affected zones, perfect for processing polarising film, removing excess bonding agents, and laser texturing.  The SR 10e, with up to 115W average output power and 330W peak output power and the SR 15e, with up to 160W average output power and 460W peak output power, enable perfect edge quality and fast processing.

SR x series – higher average power

The SR x 9.3µm series, a higher average power version of the SR i series, is ideal for high-speed applications. The range consists of SR 10x, with up to 105W average output power and 235W peak output power, SR 15x, with up to 150W average output power and 335W peak output power and the SR 25x, with up to 210W average output power and 465W peak output power.

Both the SR e series and SR x series 9.3µm are designed to match other lasers in the SR series, maintaining the same beam output position, mounting positions, overall dimensions, IP66 rating and serviceability of other SR versions.  SR 10e, SR 15e, SR 10x, SR 15x and SR 25x are available with the standard SR shutter/diode and the standard SR back reflection protection options.

Ultrashort pulse laser sources

In addition to its CO₂ laser sources, Luxinar is also showcasing its first range of ultrashort pulse laser sources, the LXR® series. This patented technology revolutionises materials processing with its short pulse width (800 ± 100fs), allowing ultrahigh precision micro- and nanofabrication of various components. The LXR® provides high throughput and repeatability, and its fast burst mode increases material removal while maintaining high-quality machining. External controls available via MCU, PC, and web server app allow for local or remote diagnostics and monitoring.

Luxinar will be presenting at the following event taking place at Laser World of Photonics, Messe München:

• Friday 30 June, 09:00: Antonio Raspa Optica Industry Training Courses at Laser Munich | Events | Optica (Room B31)

Antonio Raspa, Ultrashort Pulse Laser Product Manager at Luxinar, expresses his gratitude to Optica for providing the opportunity to share Luxinar expertise and promote laser education in the industry. As he emphasizes, “selecting the appropriate laser for industrial applications is critical, and with the growing use of lasers, it's necessary to prioritize laser education. Practical guidance and a thorough understanding of laser parameters, characteristics, and safety considerations are vital for ensuring optimal performance. To promote the culture of laser education and training, it's crucial to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to improve efficiency and safety. Luxinar's course provides valuable guidance for selecting the most suitable laser and promoting laser education in the industry.”
 

Luxinar will showcase its latest innovations in laser sources for cutting, drilling, and surface processing at Laser World of Photonics, stand B3.409.
