Plug & play multi-laser systems Simplified integration, control, and maintenance for multi-laser powder bed fusion machines With the all-new modulus™, nLIGHT is providing our AM customers with a purpose-built solution for multi-laser machines. The modulus™ platform greatly reduces the cost and complexity of laser integration and control by providing a single laser sub-system with a single set of I/O interfaces that control the individual outputs of up to 8 laser outputs. The new architecture also increases reliability and serviceability by incorporating shared component redundancy, and smaller, lighter modules that are more easily serviced. Features Integrated turn-key system Designed for multi-laser powder bed fusion machines used in series production Highly Scalable Up to 8 individually addressable 1 kW laser outputs. 500, 1500 and 2000 W variants coming soon. Simpler tool integration = lower machine cost Single set of facilities hookups, safety connections, control electronics and mechanical interfaces Long-term reliability Fewer discrete points of failure and built in redundancy can be leveraged across multiple modules. Self-serviceable Majority of service possible without disconnecting output fibers and modules weigh less than 10 kg. Power monitor and smart data analytics High accuracy power monitor sensors and on-board computer can process data from all modules and provide real-time diagnostics and continuous, closed loop output power calibrations (optional). nLIGHT modulus™ Laser Specifications Model m4 m8 Optical Mode of Operation CW/Modulated Number of Outputs 2 - 4 5 - 8 Power, per Output 500 W, 1000 W Polarization Random Power Tunability 5 to 100% Power Variation, 8-Hour ≤ 1% Modulation Frequency ≤ 100 kHz Rise and Fall Times ≤ 5 μs Beam Quality M² < 1.1 Fiber Core Diameter 14 μ Wavelength 1070 ± 10 nm Electrical Supply Voltage 400 to /480 VAC, 3-phase (4-wire), 50/60 Hz Control Interface External hardware control / Ethernet / Industrial Protocol Mechanical Dimensions (W x D x H) 445 x 750 x 650 mm 445 x 750 x 1253 Optical Fiber 1 5 or 10 m fiber with QBH connector Cooling Method Water Environmental Operating Temperature 2 10 to 40 °C Storage Temperature -10 to 60 °C Relative Humidity 10 to 80%
70 kW-Class CBC Laser and Effector | Flexibility for the Fight The first product offering in the HADES family of CBC High Energy Lasers (HEL), nLIGHT's 70kW-class neutralizes drones and other advanced threats at extended range with exceptional speed and efficiency. By leveraging nLIGHT's industry-leading and patented technology in coherent beam combination (CBC), high energy beam directors, tracking systems, and advanced atmospheric correction, nLIGHT's CBC laser and effector brings an unmatched combination of lethality, SWaP, and agility to the fight - ensuring superior protection wherever the mission demands. High Lethality Patented coherent beam combination delivers industry-leading irradiance on distant targets despite challenging atmospheric conditions, allowing for very short dwell times to neutralize swarm threats. With its compact, lightweight, and energy efficient architecture, HADES supports a broad range of air, ground, sea, and space domain platforms. Ultra-low jitter point-and-track for enhanced target discrimination and laser weapon system effectiveness. To maximize uptime, HADES is designed to be operated and maintained in the field by warfighters.
