The Beta CW series from Global Laser consists of high-quality continuous wave visible laser diode modules. The modules combine a laser diode, driver circuitry and collimating lens, all housed in a black powder coated brass body. The module body is electrically isolated. The Beta CW laser modules also incorporate a high-quality adjustable lens. Standard units produce a highly collimated beam. The visible laser spot size is adjustable by shining the beam onto a suitable target and adjusting the size with the focusing tool provided. This adjustability makes the Beta CW lasers ideal for alignment, position sensing and targeting applications. The 635 nm visible modules are 8 times brighter than 670 nm modules making them ideal for applications where visibility is important. Line generator units produce a fan shaped output beam with an angle of 16°. The wide angle line generator unit produces a fan shaped output beam with an angle of 106°. The beam can be altered to produce a fine clean line using the focusing tool provided making it ideal for alignment and profile vision applications. For suitable detectors, refer to the RS range of photodiodes. A replacement standard singlet lens and two types of line generator lens are available and are suitable for use with these modules.
