Product catalog summary
Introduction to ModeCheck®: ModeCheck® is a beam profiler designed for high power CO2 lasers, specifically for collimated beams with a wavelength of 10.6µm and a beam width up to 30mm. It is essential for quality cutting, marking, drilling, and ablating, offering more than just consistent laser power. The device allows users to instantly visualize and measure the beam, reducing setup time and optimizing laser efficiency, which in turn reduces costs and predicts maintenance needs.
Operational Procedure: To use ModeCheck®, remove the focusing optic or attach the optional MLA, locate the beam center, place ModeCheck in the beam center, and turn on the laser. The device provides real-time measurements and stores beam characteristics electronically. Key measurements include beam widths, diameters, position stability, power density peak, centroid location, and elliptical analysis.
Benefits: ModeCheck is designed to reduce job changeover time for industrial parts manufacturers. It allows for real-time laser beam profiling to ensure optimal performance and helps in predicting laser degradation for maintenance scheduling. It also eliminates exposure to hazardous acrylic vapors, improving product quality and manufacturing efficiency.
Optional Accessories: Accessories include a power meter or beam dump for managing the pass-through laser beam, a ruggedized storage case, and a ModeCheck Lens Adapter (MLA) for recollimating focused beams. A PC is required to run the imaging software, with the camera powered via USB.
Specifications: ModeCheck handles laser input power from 100 to 5000 Watts, with an input clear aperture of 50mm. It supports CW and pulsed lasers over 100 KHz, with beam widths from 5mm to 30mm. The device includes a CMOS camera, built-in fan cooling, and requires a power supply. It meets CE and RoHS compliance standards.
Ordering Information: The document provides part numbers for various components, including the ModeCheck CO2-5kW, sampling wands, beam dump, power sensors, and mounting hardware. It also includes a graph illustrating safe operation zones for beam power and diameter.

3.8 A New Method to Assure the Performance of High Power CO2 Lasers ■ Beam Profiler for collimated C02,10.6um wavelength, beam width up to 30mm ■ Quality Cutting, Marking, Drilling & Ablating Reguire More Than Consistent Laser Power ■ Instantaneously "see" and measure the beam - reduce set-up time between jobs ■ Real-time "mode burns" - eliminate hazardous acrylic vapors Optimize laser efficiency - reduce cost per part ■ Predict laser preventative maintenance - increase manufacturing efficiency ModeCheck is designed for the industrial parts manufacturer to reduce the time it takes to change over between different jobs. The user can guickly place the ModeCheck in front of the laser and see and measure, in real-time, the laser beam profile to confirm optimal laser performance. In addition, and when used periodically, the user can compare measurement changes from the same set-up and make necessary laser adjustments, keeping the laser output constant for the same job from day-to-day. Over time the user will be able to see and measure laser degradation to predict and advance schedule down- time needed for periodic maintenance. ModeCheck eliminates operator exposure to acrylic mode burn hazards while improving product guality and manufacturing efficiency. In addition to both 2D and 3D graphical image display and save, the following measurements are made from each image: ■ Bea m Width sand Dia meters ■ Beam Position Stability ■ Power Density Peak ■ Beam Centroid Location ■ Elliptical Analysis with Major Axis Orientation It's just this easy. 1.

Optional Accessories One must manage the pass-through laser beam by collecting the beam using either a power meter or beam dump. We recommend using a power meter as the additional measurement information will assist in managing laser optimization. Note that any beam dump or power meter large enough to handle 5-1 OkW will reguire water cooling. There are holes on the bottom of ModeCheck for mounting the Power Meter Head or Beam Dump. A ruggedized storage/carrying case is highly recommended for safe and efficient handling. The ModeCheck Lens Adapter (MLA) is an option that will enable a ModeCheck...
