Notes: (1) Powers and energies are quoted at the point where the beam exits the cabinet. For each knuckle in the articulated beam delivery there is an expected power loss of between 0.5% and 1%. Operating with the galvanometer head gives a further expected power loss between 6% and 12%. (2) 10.6μm is the predominant wavelength. This can typically vary in the range 10.2μm – 10.7μm. (3) Rise and fall times are quoted between the 10% and 90% levels (4) Polarization angle is dependent upon the orientation of the articulated arm (5) Maximum line speed is assuming a single line 8-character code on an inked paper label. Please note that maximum line speed is dependent upon the nature of the material and the Size/quantity/complexity of the mark. (6) Character generation speed in a single line format with a code height of 2mm. Faster generation speeds are possible at smaller code heights. Mark quality dependent upon character height, material and speed of marking. (7) Operating with 10mm aperture head, 150mm focal length lens. (8) Approximate distance between first articulated knuckle and actual product. (9) Operating with a 150mm focal length scanning lens (10) Typical average power consumption assumes a 50% coding duty cycle (11) Maximum operating temperature is dependent on the overall duty of the system. |
