Power Technology Introduces Expanded PNF Laser Modules for Machine Vision
LITTLE ROCK, AR, - Power Technology, Inc. (PTI), a premier laser manufacturer and leader in the Photonics Industry for over 40 years, announced today that it is introducing an expanded line of PNF Series drop-in replacement lasers designed specifically for Machine Vision in 2011.This new line increases the available choices of structured light lasers designed for production efficiency, quality control and inspection.
For the last 40 years, PTI's laser designs have supported Fortune 500 companies in the biomedical, semiconductor, industrial, defense & security markets and are now bringing further design and manufacturing capabilities to a broader customer base within the Machine Vision industry.
Walter Burgess, VP of Sales and Engineering, remarked "Power Technology is now able to design and manufacture lasers specifically for Machine Vision applications that can gather and analyze data." Those applications include laser modules designed for Machine Vision, 3D Profiling and Mapping, Dimensional Scanning, High-Speed Rail and Road Inspection, Web Inspection, Fluorescence and Illumination.
Power Technology's business model is well suited to this market which requires high-power structured light lasers uniquely engineered to ensure that even the most demanding high-speed industrial applications can be handled", stated Walter Burgess, VP of Sales and Engineering. "We are excited about our newest offering, the expanded PNF Series which can now deliver from 1.0mW to 150mW of output power with a wavelength range between 635nm and 1550nm." Mr. Burgess went on to say, "Additional design features of the PNF laser include uniform intensity (non-Gaussian) line generators, unique Variable Focus Technology, wide choice of fan angles, high wavelength stability, high optical power stability, and CW or optional digital/analog modulation >2MHz."
