ZFMS – Fibre-coupled Laser Technology

Z-LASER GmbH

Image of ZFMS – Fibre-coupled Laser Technology ZFSM fibre-coupled laser systems are especially suitable for applications with highest requirements in projection accuracy that is demanded in industrial machine vision & medical application. Optical properties of fibres are superior compared to bare laser diodes in terms of the beam profile (M² ~ 1.05) & the geometry of the dispersion. ZFSM yields small & perfectly round spots for point projection optics & thinner, more homogeneous lines with line generator optics. (e.g. 7µm at 30mm working distance, 1/e² & ± 5% line homogeneity). ZFSM separates the optics by an optical fibre from the laser source with its electronics harness. The heat generated by electronics & laser source has no more direct influence on the optics (high projection stability). The optic can be located up to several meters away from the laser source. For applications with high ambient temperatures, for example the measurement of red-hot steel, the lifetime of the laser diode is significantly increased. By using standard fibre connectors the projection optics can be changed within a running system. ZFSM is offered as pure OEM solution with bare electronics module, a fixed fibre & attached optics module or comes as a housed laser source with driver electronics & standard fibre connection. A customer can insert their own fibre application or use ZFSM fibre & optics accessories. Due to fibre coupling, the module can be scaled arbitrarily. For example, multiple laser sources (RGB) can be controlled individually & then be coupled in one or more fibres. Features:
