Our revolutionary BeamPeek At laser Munich 2022, we finally revealed our brand new BeamPeek – combined beam analysis & power measurement system specially designed for additive manufacturing chambers. As 3D SLM (Selective Laser Melting) and AM (Additive Manufacturing) systems have gained in popularity for the mass production of metallic parts, the components produced are becoming larger in…
We’re super proud and excited to introduce the Ophir® BeamPeek™, an integrated beam analysis and power measurement system for fast, accurate, real-time measurement of lasers in additive manufacturing chambers. Introduced at Laser World of Photonics (started yesterday), the BeamPeek system provides simultaneous beam profiling, focal spot analysis, and power measurement in just three (3) seconds.…
As every year – Ophir’s new 2022 catalog for laser measurement covers a wide range of laser power and energy sensors, meters and laser beam profiling systems for medical, industrial, defense, and research applications. The first section of the catalog is devoted to laser power meters, which consist of sensors (detectors) and meters (displays). Ophir online tools…
Additive manufacturing (AM), including selective laser melting (SLM) and 3D printing, relies on its laser source to properly manufacture 3D-printed parts. The laser is at once the most essential element of the system, and the most vulnerable to degradation. Here are some of the malfunctions that can occur with an unmonitored laser system: Optical pass…
If you have any experience monitoring lasers of high powers, you likely know that there are a number of issues that can affect the accuracy of your measurements. We invite you to learn more about measuring high power lasers: principles, challenges, and best practices. The webinar is led by our product manager, Mark Slutzki. In…
Now you can measure high power, concentrated laser beams – with very high power densities – from a short exposure, without needing water cooling. Check out Ophir’s new power sensor, the L40(500)A-LP2-DIF-35. The L40(500)A-LP2-DIF-35 is a thermal power/energy laser measurement sensor for high power density and very small diameters lasers. It has a 35mm aperture…
Efforts continues to develop and employ directed-energy weapons–with laser-based weapons being the easiest alternative. Read all about Directed-Energy Laser Devices-Advantages and Challenges
Designed for OEM and end-user applications in closed and confined spaces, such as additive manufacturing, metal cutting, and welding, the Ariel power meter is a robust, battery-powered device that requires no water or fan cooling and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The system measures laser powers from 200mW to…
A new member recently joined Ophir’s irradiance and dosage sensor family – PD300RM-UVA, and it has some important new features compared to its older brothers. In this blog post we will discuss its benefits and advantages for certain applications, such as measuring broadband LED sources. First we consider its design – it has a 2.75…
