STS 4000 & 5000	Lamp Pumped YAG
Innovative design offers new dimension in higher power and productivity. Only four internal optics! Increased power for higher capacity.	Use of anti-reflective coated fibers ensures that maximum power is delivered to the work-piece suited for robotic cutting and tailor welded blank applications.

Operating Modes:

PRC Lasers offer three distinct pulse modes in addition to Continous Wave. The different pulse modes can provide processing advantages when piercing, cutting or welding various materials. The ultra-fast response of our high-voltage section provides the sharpest pulsing wave forms available.

Turbine Compressor:

PRC's patented TURBOFLOW® compressor is an oil-free, low-speed turbine designed specifically for use in industrial lasers. Elimination of the oil bath and gear boxes associated with many fast flow lasers helps PRC lasers provide the industries longest optic lifetime, and allows our resonator electrodes and glass to last the life of the laser.

Permanently lubricated ceramic bearings, and an absence of rotating shaft seals ensure the turbine itself a long service life with virtually no maintenance.

Optical Configurations:
Every laser design has a unique optical cavity that provides a different power distribution within the laser beam it generates. This power distribution is known as the lasers "Beam Mode".

Our product line offers three different beam modes of selectable diameters and propagations.


TEM 00 Mode (Gaussian Beam) 1000-3000 Watts	"D" Mode (Dimodal Beam) 1000-4000 Watts	"Q" Mode (Quadramodal Beam) 2500-6000 Watts

Different modes may provide advantages for certain applications. For example a TEM 00 mode laser will provide deeper penetration welding with a thinner weld bead, while a D mode would provide a slightly wider weld bead. Contact us to determine which mode and power level is best for your application.
