Designed for precise laser measurement in modern AM chambers
The BeamPeek™2 system provides real-time profiling of Additive Manufacturing (AM) lasers, measuring focal spot size and position, M2 beam caustic, and power. It tracks these parameters over time to support consistent part quality and combines a beam profiler camera, power meter, beam dump, beam splitters, and optics in one industrial system.
With passive cooling and an interchangeable beam dump cartridge, BeamPeek™2 supports continuous measurement for up to 2 minutes at 1 kW or 1 minute at 2 kW, without a fan or water or air cooling. Its industrial design supports production-line integration and laser analysis without interrupting production. BeamPeek™2 software is designed for additive manufacturing and measures essential parameters with minimal user input.
BeamPeek™2 also works with BeamGage Ring-Core software to measure ring-core (ARM) lasers and with BeamGage Professional for deeper beam-parameter and statistical analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Where is the Camera sensor/Focal plane positioned?Answer
Unlike the BeamCheck that has the focal plane set so that the camera sensor is in focus when laser focus is positioned at bed surface, the BeamPeek camera sensor is approximate 70mm (the exact value is calibrated individually for each device) over the base/machine bed. To get the beam focus on camera sensor the machine bed must move down the by the calibrated value. The reason for this setup is improved power handling: higher maximum power and longer exposure time to high power.
- IF power is higher value or longer exposure time than maximum allowed will the BeemPeek suffer heavy damage? How would I know if the device is damaged?Answer
The BeamPeek is designed with some spare regarding overload, power or exposure time; if the recommended values were overpassed there are simple visual inspection besides the functional test that customer can perform: removal of Beam Dump tray, checking cleanliness of the protective window (can be removed and cleaned of outgassing due to very high power density or too long exposure), remove and inspect the diffusing interchangeable lens and looking thru the system aperture with lens removed to verify optics integrity in case of too high power.
- What is the minimum waiting time to get power measurements results?Answer
Minimum response time for power measurements is 3 seconds, as for power meters with thermal head.
- Is a periodical calibration required for the BP?Answer
Yes, since the BeamPeek includes Ophir regular Power Meter.
- If NIR laser wavelength 1070nm is used, which PM wavelength should be selected for measurements 1064nm or 1080nm?Answer
Select the wavelength which is closest to laser wavelength, in this case 1064 is closer than 1080.
