FocusMonitor FM+

Product catalog summary
Overview
The FocusMonitor FM+ by PRIMES GmbH is a versatile laser beam analysis tool designed for high precision in cutting, welding, and surface treatment applications. It features interchangeable measuring tips and detectors, making it suitable for high-power laser beam analysis.

Specifications
The FM+ can handle power ranges from 30 to 25,000 W and wavelengths from 0.4 to 12 µm. It measures beam dimensions typically between 100 to 3,000 µm, with optional extensions up to 5,000 µm. The device supports a maximum power density of 50 MW/cm² for certain laser types.

Measurement Capabilities
The FM+ measures geometric dimensions, focal position, beam parameter product, and beam quality factor. It includes an integrated z-axis for automatic caustic measurements up to four Rayleigh lengths, ensuring compliance with ISO 11146 standards.

Innovations
The FM+ HPD variant introduces the FS³ measuring principle, allowing evaluation of laser beams with very high power densities up to 50 MW/cm². It supports beam diameters from 100 to 1,200 µm and is optimized for wavelengths between 1.0 and 1.1 µm.

Software Enhancements
The new LaserDiagnosticsSoftware (LDS) enhances functionality, offering automatic, semi-automatic, or manual measurements of power density distribution, beam position, and dimensions. It supports high-resolution measurements and multi-spot configurations.

Technical Data
The FM+ features a working range of 8x8 mm, extendable to 24x12 mm, with a resolution of up to 1,024x1,024 pixels. It operates at rotation speeds of 1,875 to 7,500 min-1 and requires a 24 V DC power supply. Communication interfaces include Ethernet and RS485.

Environmental Conditions
The device operates within a temperature range of 15 to 40°C and can be stored between 5 to 50°C. It functions optimally at a reference temperature of 22°C and a relative humidity of 10 to 80%.

FocusMonitor FM+-2

The Principle The FM+ is an opto-mechanically scanning measuring system that scans the laser beam with a special measuring tip. This is equipped with a small hole (typically with a diameter of approximately 20 µm) that lets through a small section of the laser beam. Two reflecting mirrors guide this portion of the laser light to a detector selected and configured depending on the laser power and wavelength. This makes it possible to measure the different laser beam sources and systems solely by selecting the optimal measuring tip and corresponding detector. The high orbital velocity of the rotating...

Enhanced Functionality thanks to the new LaserDiagnosticsSoftware With the new LaserDiagnosticsSoftware (LDS), the FM+ offers considerably more functionality than ever before. It allows for fully automatic, semi-automatic, or manual measurement of the power density distribution, beam position, and beam dimensions. The measurements can be recorded with a high resolution and freely selectable ROI (region of interest). Higher dynamics enable you to determine the beam diameter even when there is a bad signal-to-noise ratio. Other parameters Presentation of typical measuring results of the FM+ within...
