May we help?
- What type of laser does the AL-IN 150 use?
- The AL-IN 150 uses a 150 W Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, operating in pulsed mode. It delivers 9 kW peak pulse power and up to 90 J pulse energy, with pulse durations of 0.5–20 ms, pulse frequencies of 0–100 Hz and an adjustable power curve within each laser pulse.
- How does the AL-IN 150 compare with the AL-IN 120?
- The AL-IN 150 has a 150 W Nd:YAG laser source and pulse frequencies up to 100 Hz, compared with 120 W and up to 50 Hz on the AL-IN 120. It runs on a 3 × 400 V supply instead of the 200–240 V supply of the AL-IN 120. Both offer 9 kW peak pulse power, up to 90 J pulse energy and the same 400 × 210 × 300 mm movement range.
- What working range does the AL-IN 150 offer?
- The AL-T movement base covers a range of 400 × 210 × 300 mm on the X, Y and Z axes at up to 25 mm/s, operated by joystick, with an optional rotary axis. Components are positioned independently of the movement system, so both small and large workpieces can be welded.
- Can the AL-IN 150 be used for micro welding?
- Yes. In addition to the standard 0.2–2.0 mm welding spot, an optional micro-welding function provides spots of 0.05–0.5 mm for fine precision work. The Leica microscope attachment with 10× eyepieces (16× optional) gives a clear view of the weld.
- What are the power and space requirements of the AL-IN 150?
- The AL-IN 150 requires a 3 × 400 V / 50–60 Hz / 3 × 16 A supply, with external cooling available as an option. The movement system measures 950 × 1250 × 850 mm and weighs approx. 230 kg, and the laser power supply measures 450 × 850 × 860 mm and weighs approx. 150 kg.
