360° laser without rotating parts

The fine, ring-shaped beam has a homogeneity of 80% and achieves an output power of 50mW at a wavelength of 660nm. The laser light is directed onto a cone-shaped mirror in the module and reflected uniformly at an angle of 360°. The space-saving laser module gets by without rotating elements that would make it prone to failure. The focus of the laser line is adjusted in production to the requirements of the customer’s application.

FLEXPOINT Radial was developed in close cooperation with MSG Maschinenbau (GmbH) to facilitate the inspection of high-pressure pipelines. To withstand the immense stresses of daily operation, the tubes must have a perfectly round cross-section. In the past, this could only be determined via inaccurate measurements on the outside. With the ring laser module, surveying equipment can create a detailed 3D model of the inside of a pipe, making precise measurements possible.
