BO-SF Laser Optic with Stable Focal Position

For High-power Diodes, Fiber, and Solid State Lasers

The BO-SF laser processing optics from the Scansonic Scapacs^® system is designed for industrial use where a stable focal position is critical. By using different object-to-image ratios, varying operational clearances and focus diameters are made possible. BO-SF easily integrates to a variety of applications, is high-efficient, has very good process stability, and produces great image quality.

Instead of using classical lenses the BO-SF shapes the beam by special mirrors to eliminate focal shifting. Like with 0.02 mm focal shift/kW-laser power this optic is effectively focal shift free.

BO-SF Features & Benefits:

• Practically free of focus shifting, even with high power and single-mode
• Safe for operating with a high-power laser output
• Tested up to 30 kW (with YLS-30.000 from IPG Laser GmbH)
• Easily openable for cleaning with clean air or gas before commissioning
• Triple-angled (or higher) construction has restricted bending (patent pending)
• Minimal dependence between focus position and contamination
