Company Profile Found in 2004, Maxphotonics is one of the first fiber laser manufacturers in China. It is also the first in China to realize independent intellectual property rights and vertical integration in the core technologies of fiber lasers and optical devices.
Characteristic Explain MFSC 2000W-3000W (Chassis Type) Single Module CW Fiber Laser is developed by Maxphotonics, provide a wide range of wavelength from 1060nm to 1100nm. The lasers are water-cooled and maintenance-free and with the efficiency is more than 30%. Maxphotonics' MFSC 2000W-3000W (Chassis Type) Single Module CW Fiber Laser are Class 4 laser products and are designed and tested with safety.
Chapter 2 General Safety Information 1-Safety Conventions All safety warning symbols during operating process of the laser include: SYMBOLS DESCRIPTION WARNING: Refers to a potential Electrical Hazard to human body. It requires a procedure that, if not correctly followed, may result in bodily harm to you and/or others. Do not proceed beyond the WARNING sign until you completely understand and meet the required conditions.
Chapter 2 General Safety Information NOTE : ◎ Maxphotonics' MFSC 3000W (Chassis Type) Single Module CW Fiber Laser . It may emit up to 3000W average power from 1060nm to 1100nm. This level of light may cause damage to the eye and skin. Despite the radiation being invisible, the beam may cause irreversible damage to the retina.
◎ In accordance with relevant EU and national standards and requirements, the laser must be classified according to its output power and laser wavelength. All MFSC-2000W-4000W-Series laser products with high power belong to Class 4 products (according to article 8, EN 60825-1).
Attention should be paid to related device protection. WARNING: ◎ The Maxphotonics MFSC laser light is strong enough to cut or weld metal, burn skin, clothing and paint. In addition, this light can ignite volatile substances such as alcohol, gasoline, ether and other solvents. During the operating process, the flammable materials around the laser must be isolated.
