Ypsilanti, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/03/2013 -- Achieve better engraving quality & energy efficiency with Ceramic Laser Source with the groundbreaking CeramiCore® technology, Trotec is setting new standards again.

100% Ceramic
Trotec lasers have now built in a new CO2 laser source from the US-based manufacturer Iradion Laser, Inc. The unique, innovational and patented laser source system stands for longevity, high quality and dependability. The resonator body where the laser radiation is generated is made of 100% ceramic.

Perfect body
Traditionally, all-metal or glass laser sources are used for laser processing. With the CeramiCore technology the laser source system is completely redefined. Compared to all-metal or glass laser sources, the ceramic design has tremendous advantages: Ceramic lasers have no aluminum sealings or welds which leak from time to time. Two ceramic half shells are fused together to form the resonator during manufacturing. The ceramic resonator is fired at 800 degrees and the burning process effectively cleans the interior surface immaculately.

Furthermore, all of the optical elements and the electrodes are mounted on the outside of the resonator and the gas is excited through the ceramic body. This means that there are no interior metal surfaces that could damage the gas mixture's equilibrium. A pure gas composition and therefore longest lifetime is guaranteed.

Best engraving quality with fastest pulse speeds
For high speed engraving and marking different applications ceramic lasers are perfect because they can be operated at much greater pressures so you get faster pulse speeds. Laser owners benefit from the highest engraving and marking quality.

Also, the electronics' innovative architecture features a lower energy consumption. Benchmark tests show a reduction of up to 30%.

Smooth integration
The laser sources are optimized perfectly for Trotec lasers to get the best out of the new CeramiCore technology.

About Iradion
The US-based manufacturer of OEM laser sources has 15 years of experience in manufacturing and developing laser source technology. Initially developed for one of the world's biggest defense and security corporations, Iradion's laser source technology was designed to provide precision, stability and longevity in the harshest environments possible.

Interested in becoming an laser engraving photo pro? Check out some very helpful tips and tricks.

Ypsilanti, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2013 -- Photo engraving is considered the master piece of laser engraving. It's not the hardest thing to do if a good software supports you well enough. Here are some very helpful tricks to become a real photo engraving pro.

Image selection and laser parameters
In advance of the laser engraving process it is urgent to make sure to pick a good photo, because the resolution and contrast of the image have an impact on the result.

A key for best results is setting correct material parameters on the laser machine. Selection of the correct speed, power settings and lenses are important to get good engraved photos.

Raster algorithms
In order to get good results out of the laser photo engraving processes the right raster algorithms in the Trotec JobControl X has to be picked. It depends on the wanted picture and the material. The trick here is to get the right algorithm.

Picture processing tools
Adapation of the pictures before you start the laser engraving process is very important. Either changing the contrast or making the image clearer is needed, but the majority of graphic software on the market come with those functions, so there won't be any problems with that.
