BEA Lasers Introduces New Rugged MIL Series Laser Modules with Integrated Power Supply

Both new models utilize a low profile 3/8” rugged laser housing, fitted with a M12 connector, 2 meter long PVC jacketed cable, and integrated power supply. The optional sensor-style bracket, or multi-adjustable “LB” bracket, completes the laser system.

Elk Grove Village - BEA Lasers introduces two new low profile additions to their rugged MIL Series of laser diode modules. The new MIL RA Model features a right angle, and the new MIL Compact Model features a straight housing. Both laser modules are ideally suited for applications with limited space and tight positioning requirements.

Both new models utilize a low profile 3/8" rugged laser housing, fitted with a M12 connector, 2 meter long PVC jacketed cable, and integrated power supply. The optional sensor-style bracket, or multi-adjustable "LB" bracket, completes the laser system. The new MIL Series laser diode modules are offered with standard 515nm (green) or standard 635nm (red), with 1mW or 5mW. Other outputs are available on request.
The industrys first right angle rugged laser system, the MIL RA is a laser diode module with a 3/8" brass, nickel-plated laser housing that only occupies 1.5" of valuable space.
The MIL Compact is a low profile laser diode module that occupies 1.5" of space, a much smaller profile then other lasers intended for industrial applications.
The MIL RA and MIL Compact Series Laser modules are typically used for alignment and leveling applications. They are ideal for counting, machine vision, edge detection, paper web, riveting and water jet cutting alignment, to name just a few.
The MIL RA and MIL Compact Laser Series are offered in direct diode 635nm (Red), or 515nm (Green) lasers. The direct diode 515nm (green) and 635nm (red) design provides a compact, durable laser that will perform reliably under the most adverse industrial conditions. Compared with traditional 532nm green laser diode modules, the 515nm features low power consumption, along with a wider operating temperature / tolerance and greater stability.
Custom variations can be provided by BEA Lasers to these new laser modules. Customization includes laser pattern options (lines, crosses, dot patterns, etc.), flash options, other outputs and more.
The new standard MIL Series Laser modules are now immediately available from inventory held at the BEA Lasers facility in Elk Grove Village, IL. This central location allows BEA Lasers to ship from stock within 24 hours, with custom options taking 4 weeks additional.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
