CO2 LASER LENSES FOR CUTTING HEAVY STEEL I-BEAMS

A line of ZnSe laser optics for heavy steel cutting lasers up to 4kW that come in various focal lengths to optimize laser performance has been introduced by Laser Research Optics of Providence, RI.

Laser Research CO2 Focusing Lenses come in plano-convex and meniscus configurations in 1” to 2” O.D. sizes with thicknesses ranging from 0.250” to 0.380” and can be supplied plain or mounted. Featuring focal lengths from 5” to 10” in 0.5” increments, they are ideally suited for 10.6 micron 200W to 4kW lasers used for cutting I-Beams and other heavy steel parts.

Available from stock for OEMs as well as for field replacement by end-users, Laser Research CO2 Focusing Lenses are available with A/R coatings providing <0.2% total absorption and with a proprietary Cool-Cut™ coating which absorbs <0.15% of laser energy to protect against heat damage.

Laser Research CO2 Focusing Lenses are priced according to configuration and quantity. Price quotations are available upon request and delivery is from stock within 24-hours.
