Measurement control system BCS

The PRIMES BeamControlSystem (BCS) enables the automatic measurement of the most important laser beam parameters within industrial laser processing lines. Beam power, as well as focal measurements and power density distributions are measured by the system which is shielded, rendering it completely dust-proof. • Focal measurement from 0.2 mm to 3 mm • SPS interface for communications with laser or plant controllers • Script-controlled automatic measuring sequences • Monitoring of thresholds for beam parameters • Electro-pneumatic closing device • Control and measurement data management via PC • Fieldbus interface optional for system integration This combination device combines the functionality of two different PRIMES products into one compact measuring device. This makes the combination device ideal for permanent integration into a laser material processing plant. • FocusMonitor • CompactPowerMonitor Both systems communicate with a higher level controller, preferably using the script control within the PRIMES LaserDiagnoseSoftware. This enables the fully automated measurement of power and focal geometry initiated by the laser or plant controller. The EVALUATION function allows measurement data with specified thresholds to be compared and the appropriate alarm signals to be sent back to the laser or plant controller. Overall, this enables the completely automated monitoring of the beam parameters. The combination device is enclosed and completely dust-proof. The beam entry is sealed in stand-by mode by a pneumatic closing device. This allows the measuring devices to work over the long term in a harsh industrial environment.
