With the new FLEXPOINT MVmicro and FLEXPOINT MVpico series, Laser
Componentshas set the standard for line lasers in image processing. The
MVmicro lasers were developed for stand-alone application. They have a
diameter of 19 mm and a length of 65 mm. The MVpico lasers are optimal
for integration in smart cameras. These small components are
characterized by a diameter of 10 mm and a length of 50 mm. Both types
of lasers are available at different wavelengths and an output power
from a few milliwatts up to 100 mW.
The classification of these lasers in the correct laser class is an
important aspect for every user. It is the goal of every image
processing developer to obtain the maximum amount of output power while
complying with laser class 2 or 2M regulations.
Due to a special measurement process, the MVmicro and MVpico lasers are
classified in a lower laser class. That is to say, they are available
with more power and still meet laser class 2 or 2M specifications. For
example, a laser with a 20° fan angle can be classified in laser
class 2M if it has an output power of up to 20 mW. Each laser must be
inspected individually.
