Yes, absolutely. Before any new prototype CO2 laser tube or customized design moves into mass production, it must undergo multi-cycle, long-term high-power aging and burn-in stability tests.
As an origin manufacturer committed to zero early-field failures, every prototype design undergoes strict optical and thermal qualification in our independent laboratory:
-
10+ Hours Continuous Full-Load Burn-In: Each prototype laser tube is subjected to consecutive high-power discharge tests lasting at least 10 hours per cycle to verify cathode endurance and gas mixture stability.
-
Thermal Equilibrium & Power Drift Logging: We continuously track long-term power stability and power decay, ensuring power drift stays strictly within $\pm 3\%$ under sustained maximum operating temperatures.
-
TEM00 Beam Mode & Spatial Profile Monitoring: Real-time beam profilers evaluate beam divergence, $M^2$ factors, and focal point integrity before and after extended aging cycles.
-
Why Prototype Validation Affects Initial Lead Times: This rigorous, non-negotiable testing phase is the primary reason custom prototype lead times take approximately 15 working days. Mass production is greenlit only after 100% test pass rates are logged.
