Ophir Photonics Enhances Camera and Optics for BeamWatch, Industry’s First Non-Contact Industrial Beam Monitoring System
November 18, 2014 - North Logan, UT – Ophir Photonics, global leader in precision laser measurement equipment and a Newport Corporation brand, today announced BeamWatch® 1.2, the next version of the industry’s first non-contact, focus spot size and position monitor for very high power YAG and fiber lasers. Designed for material processing applications, BeamWatch now features a new, higher sensitivity camera that allows for increased accuracy at lower power levels. In addition, a new telecentric lens provides a larger depth of field; this means the system provides the same accurate measurements while being more forgiving of beam position.
