Innovative light for better results. This is Z-LASER’s promise and obligation. Located in the heart of the Black Forest in Freiburg, Germany, Z-LASER has been developing and producing innovative, high-quality laser solutions for over 35 years. By providing visual guidance and orientation for people as well as machines, lasers for positioning, lasers for machine vision, and laser projectors from Z-LASER optimize production processes, ensure quality, and contribute to the careful use of resources.

excellent beam quality (M² <1.2), line performance (homogeneity ±15%), outstanding boresight accuracy (3mrad) and high IP protection class (IP69 housing on request).
A special 1W/808nm single-mode laser diode exclusive to Z-LASER provides ultrafine projections whilst simultaneously producing extremely high power (>300W/mm², focus at 300mm). Even with image processing applications with high ambient light influence the highest measurement resolutions are possible (for example, 170 microns FWHM in laser line width from a 1300 mm working distance). This leads to new levels of accuracy in measurements in applications such as inspection of glowing steel, road surfaces, rails and overhead wires which are all enhanced by strong high-contrast images.
Intelligent monitoring capabilities and a built-in thermoelectric cooling allow for very high stability in terms of power (≤3%), wavelength and lifetime. The laser model Z1000Q1-808 is equipped with various line and spot optics as well as a selection of diffractive optics. The laser is controlled via an RS-232 interface and provides a TTL modulation up to 10kHz. ZQ1 – main features:
Since inception in 1985, Z-LASER is known as a manufacturer of industrial laser systems for manufacturing, medical and scientific applications. The team has its own large development department that utilizes our expertise in optoelectronics and laser technology to come up with innovative solutions.
