Collimation Module

Fiber optic connection for scanning heads

The Collimation Module allows direct connection of fiber-coupled lasers to the scanning head. Typical apertures are 30 mm.

The module provides a robust mechanical coupling and optically collimates the laser radiation to match the aperture of the scanning head.

The optics used are suitable for multi-kW laser powers and can accommodate a wide range of beam qualities.
