Netalux Needle 200 Laser Cleaning Parameters

Discover mobile laser cleaning machine Needle® netalux.com (opens in new tab)

Waveform control belongs on the shop floor, not just the bench. The Needle 200 folds MOPA pulse tuning into Netalux's Red Dot-awarded ergonomic platform: an operator dials 20–500 ns pulse length to the contaminant, air-cooled, where the fixed-150 ns Q-switched Needle 100/150 cannot. A pivotable head keeps overhead weld-seam oxide and substrate-safe coating work off the operator's back.
