The CANUNDA-HP Top-Head Shaper
The
CANUNDA-HP beam shaping modules can be used to shape high-power continuous lasers. They can perform several shaping: a ring or a rectangle in standard versions, or any symmetrical (e.g. ring with a central spot...) or asymmetrical (e.g. spot followed by a line...) profile on demand. The fully reflective design of the shaping module supports very high average power (16 kW demonstrated in partnership with the Institut Maupertuis). It can be cooled in a homogeneous manner for optimal results, thus minimizing the thermal focus shift.
CANUNDA-HP modules have been integrated in industrial environments with optical fiber lasers on robot arms. The shaping module can either be fitted directly to the laser connector and integrate the entire optical chain up to the machining plane, or it can be integrated into standard, off-the-shelf collimation and focusing optical instruments, such as additive manufacturing machines.
CANUNDA-HP Top-Hat Shaper delivers a rectangle beam shape with configurable dimensions, adressing all high-power surface treatment applications.
