Coherent diamond k series K500 industrial CO2 laser
I do not have the RF power supply nor any cables. The laser is visibly in great condition but it
cannot be tested without the cables. Both the head and the large DC power supply that you see in
This laser was manufactured in 2004. This is the OEM package as described below. The following
information was taken from the Coherent website. This laser when new sold for a price of 77,000.00
and that was without the optional DC power supply which is included here.
The price is somewhat negotiable but must be within reason and close to the asking price. I do not
arrangements to meet somewhere if you are far away. Please just send an email and arrangements can
Thanks so much for looking and please ask any questions you may have. This laser is also available for
sale on a Laser Re-Sale website so if you are interested please let us know asap. Thanks
Coherent's DIAMOND K-Series sealed CO2 lasers are the smallest power-size ratio in the market and are available from 225W to 500W. These lasers
operate in a pulsed mode up to 100kHz. K-Series lasers are based on diffusion-cooled, slab technology. This technology allows K-Series lasers to be
between a Performance Package, Basic and OEM version of laser.
Performance Package is a turn key laser system, equipped with shutter, aiming beam, a power module with RF and DC power supply and a remote
Basic Package (not available for K-500) consists of a covered laser head with shutter and aiming beam. This head is driven by a separate RF power
OEM Package consists of a laser head without cover, shutter and aiming beam. The head is driven by a separate RF power supply, which has to be
K-Series lasers feature fast rise time, high peak power up to 3x average power, excellent mode quality and pulse-on-demand capabilities. This allows them to process materials more efficiently and with better quality. Key applications are cutting of metal up to 3.2mm thick, plastics i.e. for automotive car interiors, fabrics like airbags or denim, PCB boards and glass for FPD screens. K-series lasers are used in various converting applications like kiss cutting, paper perforation, laser scoring to provide easy tear off functions on flexible packages and beverages, or micro perforations in food packages. Other glass applications are melting of glass for light bulbs or medical ampoules.
The 9-micron lasers are designed to efficiently process materials like polyimide, silicone, PCB boards and other plastics that exhibit higher absorption in the 9-micron region. In some applications where the absorption is similar between the two wavelengths, these lasers can increase the processing speed, due to their faster pulse rise time and similar peak powers compared to the 10.6-micron versions.
For decades K-Series lasers have been used in ceramic scribing applications and in Flexography to engrave printing rolls
