ENGINEERED BY SYNRADp SERIES PULSED CO2 LASER DATA SHEETINDUSTRIAL PULSED LASERS FOR PRECISIONMARKING, DRILLING AND CUTTINGHigh performance pulsed CO2 laser engineered for optimal powerstability, excellent beam quality, and fastest pulse rise time delivers
exceptional quality on the most challenging materials

CUT AND DRILL FASTER WITH CLEAN,CRISP RESULTS EVEN ON SENSITIVE
MATERIALS
The p Series pulsed CO2 lasers cut faster, drill flawlessly andmicro-process with precision. Harnessing pulse technology todeliver peak pulse power levels many times greater than standard
continuous-wave laser power levels, the p Series expands cutting,drilling and perforating applications to a wider range of materials,
including films, high performance textiles, certain metals, andhigh-tech composites. Internal beam conditioning before theaperture, focuses the beam down to a narrow spot for increased
laser processing detail with near-perfect beam quality. Built forindustrial environments, all models feature built-in gas purge ports
for convenient in-field servicing and protective optical windows.

DESIGNED FOR OEMs AND SYSTEMARCHITECTS

delivers clean, crisp cuts and perforations• Integrated beam conditioning guarantees a high quality, circular
output beam for precise cutting, drilling and intricate featuredetails
Adds flexibility to OEM machine design

CLEAN CUTS, FASTER THROUGHPUT• Excellent stability and high peak power limit the heat affectedzone (HAZ), delivering cuts and perforations with minimal
discoloration and melt
• Excellent solution for high-speed cutting, drilling andperforating applications on heat sensitive materials• Zero contact to the target material eliminates surface
deformation commonly associated with mechanical cuttingsystems• Unmatched application flexibility with user controlled pulse/
continuous wave operation modes• Real-time performance monitoring (p250 & p400) reduces
unplanned downtime with onboard advanced diagnostics thatare Industry 4.0 readyPulse Model For Heat-Sensitive Materials• 400 Watts – 1kW of peak power delivers energy more efficiently,
minimizing heat affected zone (HAZ) to better process sensitivematerials such as thin films, glass, and ceramics

p SERIES PULSED CO2 LASER RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONSCUTTING TEXTILES

When cutting many natural and synthetic
textiles cut edge charring or melting is
caused by excessive heat build-up in thematerial. High peak power and fast pulse
rise time eliminates this issue, expanding
the range of materials for laser processing.

CUTTING

Continuous output power drives fasterthroughput for higher production yields.
Excellent rise/fall time and divergencestability minimizes HAZ for clean cuts.

PACKAGING MATERIAL
PROCESSING

High-speed non-contact drilling andperforating of packaging films and pouches;
perfect for easy-open or breathe ability ofperishables.

PERFORATING

Peak power delivers efficient energy,
increasing perforating or drilling speeds
and reducing HAZ; a solid solution for laser
finishing processes on automated packaginglines.

SCRIBING &DRILLING CERAMICThe high peak power is essential tominimizing heat build-up and avoid cracking
when processing brittle materials such asalumina, ceramic and quartz glass. Excellent
beam quality allows for very small featuresand clean symmetric holes.

THIN FILM
PROCESSING

High peak and average power deliver theperfect laser for high quality, precision
drilling and cutting applications on a widevariety of thin, sensitive materials.

p SERIES PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGESSuperior Edge Cut Quality on a Wide Variety of Materials

Clean Cuts, Faster Throughput

Higher average power and peak pulse power delivers high cut quality
with faster processing speeds. The unique user switchable pulse/
continuous wave modes makes the p Series the most versatile laser
source available. Easier field serviceability with a modular electronics
package make the p400 and p250 the first choice for high speed
industrial processing systems.

Excellent stability and high peak power limits the heat affected zone(HAZ), delivering cuts and perforations with minimal discolorationand melt. With zero contact to the target material, the p Series
is an excellent CO2 laser source for sensitive high-speed cutting
applications. Zero contact with the target material eliminates surface
deformation commonly associated with mechanical cutting systems.
