Luxinar Shines Bright at The Battery Show North America

Manufacturer Luxinar is celebrating its 25^th anniversary and exhibiting its established AOM, OEM, and SR series of sealed CO₂ laser sources in booth #2450 during The Battery Show North America.  The event is scheduled for September 12-14, 2023, at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, MI.

Luxinar specializes in manufacturing laser sources for industries worldwide, including automotive, electronics, e-mobility, glass, packaging, and textiles. Its CO₂ lasers, at wavelengths of 10.6, 10.25, and 9.3 microns, find extensive applications for ablating, cutting, perforating, marking, scribing, and more.  Particularly in the battery industry, Luxinar’s laser sources play a crucial role in processes such as hairpin stripping, battery case ablation, busbar coating removal, and electronic component marking.

New SR x series of sealed CO₂ laser sources offer high average power for high-speed applications

As part of its showcase, Luxinar introduces the SR 10x from its latest SR x 9.3µm series of sealed CO₂ laser sources. This upgraded version of the established SR i series is designed to cater to high-speed applications, offering higher average power. The series includes the SR 10x, capable of delivering up to 105W average output power and 235W peak output power, the SR 15x, with up to 150W average output power and 335W peak output power and the SR 25x, with up to 210W average output power and 465W peak output power.

SR AOM sealed CO₂ laser sources with acousto-optic modulator enhance edge quality in high-precision thin film cutting

Luxinar will also present the SR 25 AOM, tailored to address a wide range of high-precision applications that demand minimal heat-affected zones (HAZ), such as multilayer thin film cutting for the display market and high-resolution/speed marking.  The range includes SR 10 AOM and SR 25 AOM, both available at a wavelength of 9.3µm and with rated powers of 150W for the SR 25 AOM and 75W for the SR 10 AOM. The integrated acousto-optic modulator (AOM) creates an optical rise and fall times of less than 1µs which minimizes unnecessary heat energy during processing compared with typical pulse rise/fall times of approximately 60µs; this creates a sharper cut with a reduced HAZ.

OEM series of sealed CO₂ laser sources for high-powered material processing

In addition, Luxinar will feature its OEM 45iX from the OEM series of sealed CO₂ lasers, offering a power output of up to 450W. The OEM series is ideal for processing textiles, paper, glass, wood, thin sheet metal, plastics, and composite materials in the automotive, e-mobility, energy storage, food, packaging & labelling, plastics, and textile industries. The series offers a power range up to 1000W and provides seamless integration into industrial processing production lines, both with and without covers.  Equipped with an integrated RF power supply, the lasers generate short optical pulses with high peak power or quasi-CW output. 

John Podwojski, Regional General Manager of Luxinar’s USA office, stated: “We are looking forward to showcasing our laser sources at The Battery Show.  With more than 25 years of experience in the laser industry, Luxinar’s range of CO₂ lasers stand out from the competition due to their proven reliability.”
