Q-Switched DPSS Laser Delivers 10W At 355nm

Newport Spectra-Physics has announced the latest addition to its Pulseo range of Q-Switched diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) industrial lasers. The Pulseo 355-10 provides 10W of 355nm output at 90kHz with a short pulse width of less than 23ns. Key applications for the Pulseo 355-10 include crystalline silicon photovoltaic solar cell manufacturing processes such as wafer scribing and dicing, drilling and marking.

The high-power industrial laser is also suitable for microelectronics applications, such as via hole drilling, flex circuit cutting, flat-panel manufacturing, ITO patterning, LED substrate scribing, silicon wafer dicing/scribing and low K dielectric scribing. The Pulseo 355-10's short pulse width and high peak power, combined with higher repetition rates, reduce undesired thermal effects and results in higher throughput with less damage to the parts.

Tim Edwards, senior marketing manager for Newport's Spectra-Physics Laser Division, said: 'The design of the Pulseo 355-10 offers the same features as our other Pulseo range of products, including long life, excellent beam quality and stability, compact design and field-replaceable key components such as diodes, fibre and output window. 'This field serviceability, combined with reliability and global service and support, makes the Pulseo 355-10 suitable for high-uptime industrial applications,' he added.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
