Introduction
The firestar v-series CO2 lasers, available in 30W and 40W models, are designed for high-performance laser engravers and marking systems. They feature compact size, air-cooled operation, and outstanding performance.

Specifications
The v-series lasers utilize a waveguide design ensuring a circular beam with typical M2 = 1.1, allowing for maximum power density and faster processing speeds. The resonator design includes a small diameter bore and high gas fill pressure for fast rise/fall times (80-90 µsec) and long operating lifetimes with power stability better than ±3%.

Models and Configurations
The firestar v30 is available strictly as an OEM model in air-cooled, fan-cooled, or water-cooled configurations. The v40 is available in both OEM and keyswitch versions, with similar cooling options. Both models incorporate an internal RF supply and are powered by standard 30VDC power supplies.

Features
- Integrated RF Supply
- Superior Near-Field Beam Quality
- Excellent Power Stability
- Fast Rise/Fall Time
- Rugged, 3-point Mounting
- RoHS Compliant
- Easily integrated with FH Series Marking Head

Design and Integration
The v-series lasers are designed for ease of integration with a 3-point mounting system for easy removal and replacement. They share common beam exits with the t-series lasers, ensuring compatibility and upgrade paths.

Control and Interface
The v40 features an onboard tickle generator, a 5-24VDC I/O port, and a 15-pin D-Sub connector for remote control. The v30 offers a simplified interface using DB-9 and RJ-45 connectors.

Applications
The v-series lasers are ideal for desktop engravers and compact marking systems, providing reliable performance even in harsh industrial environments.
