The new LMV1000 diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser marker is designed to produce finer and smaller marks on ever-decreasing part real estate as in the electronics and medical industries. The unit employs different crystal lasing medium, YVO4, as well as the ability to pump the laser through the end of the crystal rather than from the side. This method offers a number of advantages such as: increased lasing efficiency; higher peak power; shorter Q-switch pulse durations; and a better beam quality. The increased beam quality and higher power density results in finer line thickness, smaller character/feature sizes, and faster, higher contrast marks on metals and plastics. This advanced laser can produce line widths down to 20 microns, character sizes of 100 microns, and data matrix codes with 20-micron cell sizes.
