Collimating Lenses

Every element matters when working with precision laser systems. The collimating lens is one of the most important components for maintaining efficiency and accuracy. It shapes laser beams into parallel light, which helps machines achieve consistent results in welding, engraving, cutting and other industrial applications. 

At Alternative Parts, Inc. (API), we know how vital these components are. That's why we provide reliable options for customers looking to keep their laser systems working at their best. 

The Importance of Collimating Lenses

A collimating lens takes the highly divergent light emitted from an optical fiber and transforms it into a parallel beam with lower divergence, allowing the laser to travel moderate distances with stability.

A focused and consistent beam ensures clean cuts and smooth finishes when it comes to laser cutting and engraving. With a laser collimation lens, you can expect: 

• Improved accuracy
• Higher efficiency
• Longer machine life
• Better end results

Both collimating lenses and focusing lenses in fiber laser cutting heads are highly sensitive to contamination. To prevent damage or reduced performance, most fiber laser systems use a protective window placed in front of the focusing lens to shield optical components from debris and pollution.

Whether you are running a high-volume production line or a smaller operation, maintaining the integrity of your laser beam with a quality collimation lens makes a noticeable difference.
