Narran ROD 500 Laser Cleaning Parameters

Sourcehttps://narran.cz/en/product/rod-laser-500w/

Narran's ROD 500 wins substrate-safe versatility, not peak brightness. Built in Czechia on Narran's own fiber resonator, it holds the widest pulse window in the ROD family — 60 to 500 ns at 50 mJ, 230 kW peak — so one head shifts from gentle thermal desorption on injection molds and printing cylinders to cold-spallation oxide removal, where the higher Bright+ variants commit to a narrow short-pulse regime.
