BEA Lasers, Elk Grove, Ill., USA, has introduced two new low profile additions to its MIL Series of laser diode modules. The new MIL RA Model features a right angle, and the new MIL Compact Model features a straight housing. Both laser modules are suited for applications with limited space and tight positioning requirements.

Both new models utilize a low profile 3/8 in. rugged laser housing, fitted with a M12 connector, 2-meter long PVC jacketed cable, and integrated power supply. The optional sensor-style bracket, or multi-adjustable "LB" bracket, completes the laser system. The new MIL Series laser diode modules are offered with standard 515 nm (green) or standard 635 nm (red), with 1 mw or 5 mw. Other outputs are available on request.

 

 

The industry’s first right angle rugged laser system, the MIL RA, is a laser diode module with a 3/8 in. brass, nickel-plated laser housing that only occupies 1.5 in. of valuable space.

The MIL Compact is a low profile laser diode module that occupies 1.5 in. of space, a much smaller profile then other lasers intended for industrial applications. 

The MIL RA and MIL Compact Series Laser modules are typically used for alignment and leveling applications. They are ideal for counting, machine vision, edge detection, paper web, riveting, and water jet cutting alignment, to name just a few.

The MIL RA and MIL Compact Laser Series are offered in direct diode 635 nm (Red), or 515 nm (Green) lasers. The direct diode 515 nm (green) and 635 nm (red) design provides a compact, durable laser that will perform reliably under the most adverse industrial conditions. Compared with traditional 532 nm green laser diode modules, the 515 nm features low power consumption, along with a wider operating temperature/tolerance and greater stability.

Custom variations can be provided by BEA Lasers to these new laser modules. Customization includes laser pattern options (lines, crosses, dot patterns, etc.), flash options, other outputs, and more.

The new standard MIL Series Laser modules are now immediately available from inventory held at the BEA Lasers facility in Elk Grove Village, IL. This central location allows BEA Lasers to ship from stock within 24 hours, with custom options taking four weeks additional.
