Cavitar, known for its precision-engineered illumination lasers based on diode laser technology, has announced the release of its second-generation CAVILUX laser illumination systems. These new systems build on more than 20 years of engineering experience and are designed to meet the growing demands of high-speed imaging and industrial monitoring.
The Generation 2 series includes systems with varying specifications and features, offering improved flexibility, adaptability, and imaging precision across a wide range of applications.
Cavitar CAVILUX Laser Illumination
CAVILUX laser systems are engineered to deliver high-intensity, non-coherent light for imaging processes that require fast shutter speeds and consistent illumination. Designed for short exposure times, CAVILUX eliminates flicker and reduces motion blur, making it ideal for use with high-speed and thermal cameras.
Professionals choose CAVILUX for its reliability and consistent performance in environments where traditional lighting cannot meet the demands. For years, these systems have supported advanced imaging in:
- Welding and additive manufacturing
- Ballistics and impact testing
- Combustion and explosion analysis
- Spray and flow visualization
- Electronics, materials, and automotive testing
What to Expect from Generation 2 CAVILUX Laser Illumination
Cavitar’s development process improves upon proven designs while incorporating refinements driven by user feedback and advances in optical and thermal engineering. The Gen 2 CAVILUX systems will introduce higher power levels and features to enhance compatibility and user control.
New Power Options:
- Cavitar CAVILUX SMART GEN 2 pulsed illumination lasers:
- 650nm wavelength: 200W illumination laser, 400W illumination laser, 600W illumination laser
- 810nm wavelength: 300W illumination laser, 500W illumination laser, 1000W illumination laser
- Cavitar CAVILUX HF GEN 2 pulsed illumination lasers:
- 650nm wavelength: 300W illumination laser
- 810nm wavelenght: 500W illumination laser, 800W illumation laser
A key advantage of the Gen 2 systems is the fiber-coupled design, which enables flexible light delivery even in tight or hazardous environments. Interchangeable optics allow users to adapt the light for direct, backlight, or darkfield illumination, depending on the application.
Features Across the Gen 2 Lineup Include:
- Separate Trig IN and Sync IN inputs for precise timing
- Full cross-compatibility between all laser and control units
- Universal control software for all systems
- Optional wavelength adjustment (SMART only) for ultra-narrow bandpass filters
- Optional High-Speed mode (1s, 2s, or 30s durations, depending on the model)
- Pointer laser enable/disable button (HF only)
Since the new generation will include multiple models, features, and capabilities may vary depending on the configuration. However, all are designed for improved usability, seamless integration, and reliable high-output performance.
