Photovac Laser – Worldwide

TO ALL COHERENT LASER USERS

Photovac RF Power has introduced its latest upgrades for Coherent K-Series power modules. Coherent power modules in the past have used the old Power-One power supplies that are obsolete. We have used the Power One power supply for years, but parts are now impossible to find and the power supplies impossible to repair says Christopher Zelich, Owner, Photovac Laser Worldwide.
With some research and cunning engineering, we have integrated today’s modern-day switching power supply into the power module. We have gotten rid of the water-cooling aspect of the power supplies and the extreme weight of the supplies and radiators. We have a plug-in Smart Interface that regulates the current of the power supply and the logic control of the Digital Display Interface Pcb.
With this new concept, we extended the life expectancy of the power modules for many years to come Zelich added. With the continuation of Co2 laser remanufacturing and RF modules, we have extended the life of Coherent K250 and Coherent K500 laser systems for a minimum of another 25 years.

To Rofin-Sinar users:

Over the past year, Coherent Lasers had to give up the Rofin-Sinar takeover due to antitrust issues ordered by the court. With this action, it has left hundreds if not thousands of Rofin-Sinar users in an impossible position for service. Many of the older Rofin-Sinar systems >10 years, takeover company Luxinar UK has refused to service or support the older SCX Brands.

Photovac Laser Worldwide is continuing in its best effort to maintain and support the older laser brands. Even the larger SCx60 brand we are repairing along with the SCX10, SCX20, and SCX30. While we will continue to support Rofin-Sian lasers, we do have limitations in our support for parts. Rofin-Sinar was a very hush, hush company when it came to providing their customers with documents relating to servicing the lasers.

Photovac Laser Worldwide is always trying to improve the repair process. When customers do require service we request they provide as much documentation as possible. This would include, service manuals, schematics, users manuals, controllers and any other type of information helpful to other Rofin-Sinar users.

When sending in your laser, please always provide the laser tube, RF exciter, power supply, cables, and controllers. In many cases, the lasers have been incorporated into other OEM pieces of equipment and some of the pieces we require may not be accessible.

If any customers of the Rofin-Sinar brand would like to contact me directly please feel free to do so. I want to make sure that we report our information with accuracy and correct any misinformation that may be in question or misleading.

To all of our Coherent Laser users:

Boy do I have great news. Coherent Performance Package power modules are used to run Coherent K-Series laser tubes. Just about everyone I know loves these lasers and never gets rid of them.
At Photovac Laser RF Power we have a incipient update for the Coherent Laser module for years to come. Photovac RF power has upgraded the power module with new switching DC power supplies. The older power supplies are obsolete, parts are no longer available, and believe me we see lots of failure. I have had a dozen or so good older DC power supplies we were using as replacements in the power modules up to this time. However, I felt it prudent to find a solution to replace the old supplies with today’s newer switching DC supplies. We have designed a little interface and wiring harness that allows Photovac RF Power to remove the old supplies and exchange in the new ones. We have new mounting brackets for the power supplies. We have reduce the weight by 40 lbs. And guess what? the old power supplies were water cooled with a heat exchanger. No longer. We have removed the heat exchanging unit thus reducing weight again and removing other possible water leaks and repairs.

Any questions, please call Chris Zelich 6149575817 or 6148753300 .

Thank you Christopher. It is nice to work with an honest person.
Machine is running like a champ. Think better than new.

Back with a good review.

” I first sent it to Gravotech which they said on the phone about $1000.00 when the estimate came back it was $8029.00 with 1 optic lens needed replaced. I had them return that’s when I found Photovac Laser on the web. I sent them the laser and they agreed 1 optic lens was bad. They recharged my laser and replaced one optic lens for $2130.00. I can’t thank them enough for their service and support.” ” Lisa keep me advised of the repair and Joe helped me out on two calls about mirror alignment.”

“Chris,
Had some trouble with my laser which Joe helped me sort out. It turned out to be a broken wire in the 9 pin connector on the laser power controller on my 57-1 you guys fixed for me.
The laser is now up and running very well.
Thank you for your work and please pass it on to Joe”
