A Brief Overview of the 532nm Green Diode Laser Line Generator

 A Laser Line Modifier is a state of the art laser etching machine used to etch fine lines, wrinkles and designs into concrete or stone material. This Infrared Laser Line Module produces a straight line (usually not visible) from a fan nozzle at the base of the unit to the wall using a continuous laser feed. The laser etching machine also uses a trigger mechanism that automatically moves the laser along the desired path when activated. It operates by detecting the outline of the material that is to be etched and then activating the laser and allowing it to repeatedly come back and repeat the same action as it traced the outline. The amount of material that can be etched using one single laser is enormous, with material as small as a dot being engraved effectively in just seconds. This is accomplished without any movement or interruption of the original work.

A laser line module consists of multiple laser diodes with different powers applied to the coating being etched. The main laser (either Diode or Neutron) generates the high levels of beam energy needed for the process, while an output power supply regulates the electrical output power to the individual lamps that are installed in the face of the work to be etched. Lamps used in this process are usually tube-type lamps that have been dipped in a special colored paint to provide the necessary light necessary for the laser etching process. Typically the output power will be controlled by a distance control switch so it can be adjusted to accommodate different projects.

A laser line generator is used to provide the high level of uniformity required for laser etching projects. Many laser line modules come with a uniform line output, so there is no stray laser beam or stray output power that may cause a problem during the process. This uniformity is achieved by utilizing a high resolution scanner that scans the surface being etched in order to create a digital copy of the image. This image is then fed through a computer system that reads the digital copy and creates a scale drawing that can be used as a template by the laser etcher.

The laser line module passes an electrical pulse through the optic path of the device, which then causes the laser beam to split the light that is entering the lens. When the light returns to the front of the lens, the concentrated laser beam strikes the substrate and forms the dark areas in the center of the image as well as the edge areas of the design. The dark and center areas are the areas not subject to any light, so they cannot be seen with the naked eye.

One of the most commonly used laser diodes in a laser line module is the 532nm laser line generator. The 532nm laser is not effective at producing high levels of density that are required for the most complex laser engravings. However, it is one of the most commonly used lasers because it produces a high quality surface that is highly uniform.

The laser engraving capabilities of the 532nm laser line module are only part of the overall laser printing capabilities. Because these lasers are not capable of producing very thick or heavy materials, a secondary laser pre-engraving technique is necessary. This process is referred to as the "hot coil laser engraving." In the hot coil laser engraving, a solid-state laser is pre-charged before the pen/towel barrier is applied so that it can perform the laser engraving without interference from the ink ribbon that could potentially soak the laser engine. Once the laser is pre-charged, it is turned on and is allowed to perform its printing job.

While the above may sound like a complex operation, in reality it is not. The 532nm green dpss laser line module is actually one of the least complicated laser diodes to use in a laser engraving setup. A computer software package known as the Solid State Digital Signaler (SSDS) is responsible for initiating the laser beam formation. Once it is activated, the SSDS alters the laser line and color according to pre-set parameters. These parameters can be adjusted through the use of software and various commands given by the engineer or technician on the receiving end.

The 532nm laser line module can be purchased via online sources and from standard laser line generator vendors. It is usually more economical to purchase a standard laser line module rather than the 532nm, as the former is often times used in applications where more material will be printed. This will typically mean that the cost per unit is higher. However, for applications where small amounts of data or other types of print media are required at a lower rate, it is worthwhile to invest in the 532nm laser line generator as it is just as powerful as the standard laser line module, and is less expensive to operate in the long run.
