(OEI has developed a groundbreaking 2-\u00b5m (micron) laser system specifically engineered for clear plastic welding applications. This state-of-the-art laser system offers exceptional performance and versatility, making it the ultimate solution for a wide range of industries. Here is a high-level view of the advantages of OEI\u2019s advanced technology. OEI 2-\u00b5m laser is the only 2-\u00b5m system that has a \u201cTop Hat\u201d profile achieved through proprietary beam shaping technology \u2013 this avoids burning and other issues that are inherent with gaussian beam shapes Air cooled up to 250 Watts \u2013 no messy and unreliable chillers Much higher efficiency than competitors (&gt;50%) OEI\u2019s laser seamlessly integrates to all galvo-scanner types and sizes. Now let\u2019s dig into the details. Unprecedented Power and Efficiency Offering a remarkable 250W of output power, our 2-\u00b5m laser sets a new industry standard, ensuring robust and reliable clear plastic welding. What truly differentiates our laser is its exceptional efficiency, which is three times greater than competing lasers. This efficiency not only maximizes performance, it also minimizes operating costs, thanks to an air-cooling mechanism that eliminates the need for complex water-cooling systems.
