Heat transfer roll

The Varitherm multi-zone, variable temperature heat transfer roll features an Equatherm spiral wrap design and offers multiple temperature zones within the roll. Custom engineering delivers precise processing temperatures and temperature uniformity within a given zone. The roll streamlines manufacturing by eliminating the need for secondary processing.

Laser beam profiler

Designed for measuring beam profile and power of pulsed industrial lasers, the BA100 laser beam profiler system is useful also for looking at focal spots since the object plane is outside of the unit at the top of the input flange. Real-time intensity profiles are shown allowing online adjustment of the beam. Measurements can be taken at full or near-full power levels (1000W max).

Vacuum viewports

Designed for extreme high vacuum applications, this line of differentially pumped, extended range viewports has two or more seals arranged so that the space between the seals is accessible to an appended vacuum pump. By actively pumping the region between the seals, minute leakage is reduced by several orders of magnitude. Standard view diameter is 1.1 in.

Machine vision camera

The CDC-200 CMOS-based CDC camera series accommodates mixed-resolution applications using a configurable region of interest acquisition feature. Thus high-res SXGA images (1280x1024 pixels) can be delivered up to 26 fps, standard VGA (640x480) at 100 fps and low-res (320x240) at 340 fps. The series is half the size and weight and twice the speed of conventional CDC cameras.
