HyperRapid NX | Coherent

The New Generation of High Power Industrial Picosecond Laser

As the next generation HYPER RAPID high average power industrial picosecond lasers, the HyperRapid NX combines the performance level of the original HYPER RAPID system with the modular architecture and integrated electronics of the RAPID NX systems.

With more than 10 years of experience in design and manufacturing of world class industrial picosecond lasers, the HyperRapid NX builds on a solid foundation, improving uptime, performance and reliability of the original design.

HyperRapid NX is the next generation high power industrial picosecond platform of Coherent extensive industrial short pulse lasers portfolio. HyperRapid NX delivers up to 250 µJ pulse energy with typically 10 ps duration at repetition rates up to 1 MHz.

Output powers are up to 100W in the IR, 50W inthe visible and 30W in the UV. These performances allow to simultaneously feed 2 work stations within one machine, further reducing the TCO for a production process in micromachiningapplications.

HyperRapid NX enables the most advanced applications with state-of-the-art pulse control and synchronization features. Pulses can be triggered on-demand with low jitter (<25 ns) and trigger-to-pulse delay. The fast process shutter allows both on/off control and energy attenuation for each individual pulse.

Burst mode can be selected to determine how many 10 ps-pulses with 25 nsseparation should be released in an envelope. These bursts enhance the ablation rate in many materials and increase the process efficiency.

The HyperRapid NX laser head is a self-contained system where all optical elements, control electronics and thermo-mechanical management are integrated. It complies with state-of-the-art safety regulation and it is complemented by a selection of off-the-shelf chillers and power supply to offer the greatest flexibility.
