  • PHOTOVAC INSTALLS SYNRAD P400 @ ESTERLINE KORRY ELECTRONICS EVERETT, WA

    Posted on by Chris Zelich

    Photovac Laser has completed a full retrofit and upgrade for a Lumonics turn-key rotary system. By removing a exhausted Coherent K500 system, Photovac Laser was able to update Lumonics systems with a Synrad P400 series laser tubes said President Christopher Zelich. “We are very pleased to announce Photovac Lasers continued success retrofitting older turn-key and rotary systems with new Synrad laser tubes”. Our continued expansion in the industrial field for rotary, turn-key and textile tables are a definite benefit for our customers and Synrad Laser customers. Synrad Laser has the new P250 and P400 Co2 lasers that fit well with industrial systems. By using the customer’s current CNC machine and older program software, we can save the user 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of dollars. The customer can also quickly upgrade, rather than waiting for months to receive a new system costing thousands of dollars in lost production.

    Esterline Korry Electronics Everett, WA is the world’s leader in commercial-military switches and pushbuttons for aircraft, naval, and commercial applications. With the high power upgrade and reliability of the Synrad laser, customers like Korry Electronics can continue to meet production needs.

    Synrad laser tube upgrades work well with Lumonics and Cutting Edge systems. If you have a low power D or K series Coherent laser tube you don’t want remanufactured, you can now upgrade to high power Synrad P-Series laser with confidence. We also welcome other turn key, rotary and table manufactures systems to retrofit.

  • RPP INC. Sends Great News about Photovac Laser Service Capabilities

    Posted on by Chris Zelich

    Chris,

    ” Good news.  The new PC board seems to have solved all the problems.  The machine is working great.  I did have a couple of Power Failures but I replaced the 5VDC power supply and the machine has not missed a lick since then.  The old control power supply would fluctuate between 4.3 volts and go up to about 5.5.  I was told by Beam, several years ago, that the voltage needed to be constant between 4.9 and 5.1.  I did not want to damage the new PC board so I replaced the old power supply with the same type only it is a medically qualified unit vs. the standard industrial unit supplied with the machine originally.  The supplies are the same but everything is held to tighter tolerances.  You did a great job and in the future should any issues come up I will contact you first before Coherent. Obviously the new Coherent K250 laser tube and RF supply that Photovac repaired works flawlessly”

    Also FYI.  Nate Peterson, from Coherent, replaced the laser tube and RF unit on the new machine and it is up and running also.  I ask him about the noise the old machine makes vs. the new machine which is quite.  He showed me, on the new machine, where you can change the frequency that the machine uses to cut.  The old machine did not have this feature.  He changed the frequency, on the new machine, to show me and sure enough it sounded different.  Evidently the default frequency on the old machine is the issue.  Since it cuts fine I am not going to attempt to make any change. Your diagnosis on the tube and RF on this unit was spot on Chris.

    Again great job! ”

    Best regards,

    Mike
