The Synrad i Series represents Novanta’s highest-power sealed CO₂ laser platform, engineered for manufacturers requiring exceptional processing speed without compromising precision. Available in 400 W (i401) and 500 W (i501) models, the system delivers stable continuous-wave performance with a near-perfect beam profile for demanding industrial applications.
Designed specifically for OEM integration, the i Series incorporates a TCP/IP web-based interface that provides real-time monitoring of laser performance, including RF module status, voltage, current and temperature. This allows manufacturers to optimise machine performance while reducing unexpected downtime through advanced diagnostics.
The laser also features field-replaceable RF modules, an integrated electromechanical safety shutter and a built-in gas purge connection, providing maximum uptime and simplified maintenance for continuous industrial production. Its wide dynamic power range enables seamless switching between low power for fine detail and high power for rapid material processing.
