Material Composition | High-power laser systems (e.g., CO₂ lasers) | Industry Standard: BK7 Glass (500nm-2500nm transmission) Our Base: ZnSe (2-14μm, ASTM E438) Our Advanced: Multi-layer ZnSe (2-16μm, ISO 14644) ▲▲ | Superior IR transmission for CO₂ lasers; lightweight compared to glass | Higher cost than BK7; requires careful handling to avoid scratches |
Optical Performance | Precision manufacturing (e.g., aerospace parts) | Industry: ±1% focal accuracy (ISO 10110) Our Base: ±0.8% (ISO 10110) ▲ Our Advanced: ±0.5% (ISO 10110) ▲▲ | Reduces material waste and alignment errors in high-precision tasks | Advanced versions may require specialized calibration tools |
Environmental Resistance | Harsh chemical environments (e.g., semiconductor cleanrooms) | Industry: Passes ASTM D543 (20 chemical exposures) Our Base: ASTM D543 (30 exposures) ▲ Our Advanced: ASTM D543 (50 exposures) ▲▲ | Resists common solvents and oils used in industrial cleaning processes | Base version may degrade over time in extreme pH conditions |
Mechanical Durability | Industrial machinery (e.g., laser cutters in factories) | Industry: 6H hardness (ISO 14506) Our Base: 7H ▲ Our Advanced: 8H ▲▲ | Reduced need for frequent replacements due to scratch resistance | Advanced coatings may increase fragility under extreme thermal shock |
Weight & Portability | Portable laser engraving setups (e.g., field service) | Industry: 200g (glass) Our Base: 180g (ZnSe) ▲ Our Advanced: 160g (lightweight ZnSe) ▲▲ | Easier to handle and transport for mobile applications | Base version still heavier than some polymer alternatives |
Customization Flexibility | Specialized applications (e.g., medical imaging, defense) | Industry: Limited to standard sizes Our Base: Custom sizes (±5% tolerance) ▲ Our Advanced: ±1% tolerance ▲▲ | Tailored solutions for niche requirements like gradient coatings or thicknesses | Custom orders may have longer lead times and higher costs |
