Laserworld RTI PIKO RGB 20 Laser System

Laserworld RTI PIKO RGB 20 Laser System

Ray Technologies (RTI) presents their new RTI PIKO RGB 20 with a high precision diode module as substitution for the OPSL green laser source. This change in technology for the green colour spectrum became possible due to new diode arrays that have been developed by RTI’s R&D in Valley, next to Munich, Germany. The homogenous beam profile of the PIKO RGB 20 even fits small 4mm scanner mirrors, which results in high scanner performance, as the inertia of the scanners is kept very low. The CT-6210H scanners can do 60kpps at 8 degrees and still do 35kpps at their maximum scan angle of 80 degrees. Besides the small beam diameter, the RTI PIKO RGB 20 maintains a very low divergence of <1.0mrad, so the small beam diameter is not negatively impacting the divergence at all. The RTI PIKO RGB 20 laser systems are especially designed and tailored for high professional applications.
