The 980nm infrared laser diode module is mainly used in industrial processing for high-precision positioning, collimation, marking pretreatment and micro-processing of specific materials. With its infrared band characteristics and stable performance, it plays an important role in the field of precision manufacturing. It applies an import 980nm semiconductor infrared laser diode and a qualified optic lens inside a durable metal housing tube, after easy connects with an external electric power source and proper installation or integration with night version device or equipment, this 980nm infrared dot laser assures high precision, high stability and good direction IR dot positioning results for multiple industrial processing works effectively.
In practical industrial processing works, 980nm infrared laser diode module is operating differently from any other visible laser device or manual dot projecting tool etc. It has good featured advantages of high concealment and no visual interference. This 980nm wavelength belongs to the near infrared band, which is invisible to the naked eyes and will not cause visual interference to operators. It is especially suitable for production lines that require manual auxiliary monitoring to avoid the influence of visible light on observation. Every time 980nm infrared dot laser alignment tool gets constant power source from 5V, 9V 1000mA DC power supply, it begins to work with high penetration IR laser light source to some of non metallic materials, such as plastics and composite materials, which can be used for internal defect detection or deep micro-processing of materials. At the same time, the energy concentration facilitates focusing into a tiny spot.
When 980nm infrared laser diode module applies APC, ACC driving circuit board design inside a durable anodized aluminum alloy housing tube, it bears various harsh working occasions, such as dust, moisture or water vapor etc. Being made with sealed packaging design, it can maintain stable infrared laser beam and infrared reference dot projection in dusty workshops with large temperature differences (some modules support -10~60℃). The extending serving lifetime of infrared dot laser can reach as long as more than 8,000 hours. It gets less output power fluctuation, low performance attenuation, and fulfills the needs of industrial continuous production.
Besides the adoption of a qualified glass coated lens and adjustable focus optic lens, this near wavelength 980nm infrared laser diode module also gets high high circularity of the spot, small divergence angle (divergence angle of some single-mode modules ≤ 1mrad), after collimation, the infrared laser beam can be kept parallel over a long distance (several meters to tens of meters), and the positioning accuracy can reach within 0.1mm. 980nm infrared dot laser alignment always maintains high electro-optical conversion efficiency and short start-up response time, can cooperate with automation equipment to achieve fast switch control, and adapt to the dynamic positioning requirements of high-speed production lines. Owing to its ultra compact structure design, it enables easy carrying, convenient and direct integration with robotic arms, conveyor belts, processing machine tools and other equipment without complex external debugging.
Specific applications in industrial processing
Precision positioning and calibration: In mechanical assembly and automated production lines, 980nm infrared laser diode module is operated as a high-precision reference light source, which provides non-contact positioning reference for the alignment of mechanical parts, guide rail calibration, equipment installation, and ensures that the assembly accuracy of parts reaches the micron level.
Laser welding/cutting assistance: In the micro-welding or fine cutting of thin sheet metal and electronic components, 980nm infrared alignment laser assists in positioning welds or cutting paths, and cooperates with high-power laser equipment to improve processing accuracy, especially suitable for the processing of tiny parts (such as electronic chip pins and precision gears).
Material micro-processing pretreatment: infrared laser light source is applied for surface modification or local heating pretreatment of ceramics, glass, polymer materials, etc., to provide precise energy focusing areas for subsequent processing (such as engraving and etching) and reduce processing errors.
