• Lasers purchased from China are most likely junk, used and have abort repairs.

    To all our customers:

    I have had several individuals purchase lasers from China such as Synrad or Coherent. Everything we have looked at is either full of water, repairs were attempted and aborted. There are several cases where parts were missing and one case the laser tube was gone even though they said it was tested and working. I would highly recommend you stay far away from these lasers. One customer reported spending $5,500.00. The laser was absolutely junked and the company would not send back their money. Nothing you can do when your 7500 miles apart.

    I have had many customers ask if we would repair China glass tubes. I tell people no we will not. The glass laser is cheap and breaks under many conditions. The optics are absolutely cheap and the overall quality is disgraceful. I know some people have had good results, but many report just the opposite. Laser engravers are relatively cheap $3K to $7K. Most everyone China engraver uses a glass tube making the unit large and cumbersome. Always consider using American made engravers. Yes, I know there expensive, but you get a quality product with RF laser tube technology that last for many years unlike the cheap glass China laser tubes.

    PS: Photovac Laser supports American made products and we would never purchase any laser from China, period! Support American manufactures and keep our jobs here!

    Good Luck!

    ” 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.

  • Photovac Laser Worldwide Introduces ” Synron User” Control Interface for Synrad Lasers

    Photovac Laser Worldwide is now offering an incipient way to operate your Synrad Laser. Photovac Laser Worldwide is introducing Synron User Professional and Synron User Fundamental user interfaces for all brands of Synrad Co2 lasers. Our adjustable laser pulse frequency, laser pulse width control system will work with all Synrad 48 Series, V Series, TI Series, F Series, VI Series, I Series and Pulstar Series lasers. Some limitations due apply. Synron User Professional and Synron User Fundamental can be utilized in immensely colossal factory automation conditions or your local mom and pop stores. Photovac is the US leader in Synrad Laser integration into preexisting systems or newly automated systems. Synron User Professional is a plug and play adaptive way to control your Synrad User Series laser. Synron User Professional provides the laser operator with the wide range functionality for adjustment of laser pulse frequency, laser pulse width and gating control up to 20KHZ. All features and adjustments at your hand while being monitor by our touch control monitor, tablet or cell phone.

    Laser Pulse Frequency is how rapidly the Synrad laser pulses on and off while also being controlled by your adjustable pulse width, while at the same time gating the amount of laser pulses with your external pulse modulation up to 20KHZ. Easier said, if you have a laser pulse frequency of 5KHZ and you increase it to 10KHZ, your pulse output will be twice a close to each other up to the limit of the lasers duty cycle.

    Most every pulse width modulator on the market either limits the laser pulse frequency to 5KHZ, 10KHZ, or 20KHZ. Pulse width modulators do sanction variable pulse width control with inhibitions. There are additionally circumscriptions by the lasers duty cycle. Gating of Synrad lasers (on/off pulses) can be varied between 5khz to 100KHZ. Controllers buss data that is providing these features become saturated after 9600 HZ the prevalent baud rate of most controllers. This would be the case of Synrad’s UC2000 controller. After 9600 HZ the controllers simply become dormant due to the diligent buss addressing of the 8 bit computer chip. With Synron User-Professional we have eliminated buss addressing due to the rapid cycles of gating control. Synron User Professional sanctions the user to adjust pulse frequency control between 1HZ and 20KHZ sanctioning the user extreme flexibility all by the physical contact on a monitor. With astronomically immense pulse frequency variance at your command, your pulse width control (actual on time of laser) is additionally variable with a wide range of settings. Remember the laser duty cycle or amount of power the laser can provide is directly effected by these settings with a maximum duty cycle of 37.5% (Synrad P150). Some lasers offer up to 60% duty Cycle, while others sanction 40%. Please consultant the manufactures designations for duty cycle limits.

    Pulse width control variance is a huge advantage with the other factors fore mentioned. Synron User Professional allows pulse width control from 1 millisecond up to 999 milliseconds or 1 second. Once again you can vary your laser pulse frequency with great latitude, along with your pulse width up to the lasers duty cycle limit. All of your adjust features are available on our monitor, tablet or cell phone.

    Synron User Professional exhibit features so you how much average power(watts) your Synrad laser is producing with your screen settings. You must have Synron User Power Monitor for this feature and may be purchased as an add-on. Photovac Laser as a systems integrator is able to acclimate your preexisting laser or incipient laser with the Synron User Power Monitor feature. There are conspicuous requisites for power adaptation and we would be ecstatic to work with you to provide this highly enhanced feature.

    Synron User Professional has the availability to monitor Meanwell power supplies while in operating with your Synrad laser.

Our software will easily integrate to any Android tablet or cell phone. This feature is only available with Synron User Professional software and not Synron User Fundamental.
