Overview
The document provides detailed information about articulated arms used in laser delivery systems, emphasizing their flexibility and precision in environments where mode quality preservation is crucial.

Specifications
- The articulated arm is designed with stainless steel ball bearings and anodized aluminum components to endure heavy use.
- Mirrors are easily removable and replaceable without realignment, ensuring over 92% transmission for CO2 lasers at 10.6 microns.
- The system supports power up to 250 watts without cooling and power density up to 1,000 W per square cm.
- The arm weighs 7 kg and can accommodate handpiece weights from 0 to 4 ounces.

Performance
- Near field error is within a 1 mm diameter circle, improving to 0.5 mm when the vertical tube is within ±45 degrees of its normal position.
- Far field error is less than ±1 milliradian.
- Electric isolation is rated at 5-10 Megohm, class CF.

Customization and Options
- Sealed ball bearings prevent contamination and allow internal pressurization.
- Optional mirrors for different wavelengths and higher transmission values are available.
- Custom designs include various lengths, fold-up configurations, and apertures up to 1.4 inches.

Applications
- The arm can connect lasers to flatbed cutters or robot arms.
