Temperature stabilization is key to maintaining peak performance for any industrial laser system. Thermoelectric-based chillers are becoming popular for cooling lower power lasers due to their high reliability, precise temperature control and low maintenance requirements.
The increasing demand in many end markets for advanced manufacturing systems that are able to increase production and cut costs have positioned laser systems as an important fabrication tool. High-power industrial lasers can generate outputs in excess of 10,000 W when processing thick metals, generating a significant amount of heat not only in the targeted surface but also in the sensitive optics inside the laser. The temperature of these optics needs to be maintained to achieve peak performance for the tool.
The Nextreme NRC400 is a recirculating chiller designed for precise temperature control of analytical instrumentation, industrial lasers and imaging. The NRC400 is a thermoelectric-based recirculating chiller with few moving parts offering solid-state construction and high reliability. It is also environmentally friendly as no hazardous refrigerants are used. Users can easily control temperature setpoints and alarms via the LCD touchscreen display.
