Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms [1]

Laser System A laser system refers to a complete setup or configuration of components designed to generate, control, and manipulate laser light for specific applications. A laser system typically includes a laser source (such as a laser tube or diode), optical elements (such as lenses, mirrors, and beam expanders), control electronics, cooling systems, and safety features. Laser systems may also incorporate additional components such as scanners, galvanometers, fiber optics, and motion control systems to tailor the laser beam's characteristics, direct it to the desired location, and perform specific tasks such as cutting, engraving, marking, welding, or imaging.
Laser systems come in various sizes, configurations, and power levels, ranging from tabletop units for research and prototyping to large-scale industrial systems for high-volume production and manufacturing. Laser systems find applications in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, healthcare, entertainment, and defense.
