Looking to replace your legacy gas laser with a high power, compact DPSS alternative?
The Skylark NX series of diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers are highly power-efficient, using less than 1% of the power compared to Ar+ lasers and 90% less than HeCd lasers. They offer double the maintenance-free lifespan with up to 10,000 hours, and reduce the cost of ownership by approximately 88% per year compared to gas and ion lasers.
Watch our video to find out more about how DPSS lasers are an ideal replacement for gas lasers reaching the end of their lifecycle and read more on our HeCd vs. DPSS page.
