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%
10.6μm is the predominant wavelength. This can typically vary in the range 10.2μm–10.7μm.
10.25μm is the predominant wavelength. This can typically vary in the range 10.17μm–10.33μm
9.27μm is the predominant wavelength. This can typically vary in the range 9.2μm–9.4μm
Rise and fall times are quoted between the 10% and 90% levels
Polarization angle is dependent upon the orientation of the articulated arm
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 markCharacter 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
Also refer to technical datasheet 903-0065-00
Operating with 10mm aperture head, 150mm focal length lens
For options see document 903-0146-00
Approximate distance between first articulated knuckle and actual productOperating with a 150mm focal length scanning lens
Typical average power consumption assumes a 50% coding duty cycle
Maximum operating temperature is dependent on the overall duty of the system. Refer to document 903-0125-00 for further
information
