Laser positioner — How to choose the laser output power?

Laser positioner — How to choose the laser output power?

Dot laser, line laser, crosshair laser, etc. Laser modules are widely used as positioners in industrial production.

Many customers don’t know how to choose the power of the laser.

The power is too small for the operator to see the laser;
The power is too high, the laser is too dazzling, affecting normal work.
So how do you choose the laser power at different distances?

CivilLaser take the red light as an example and sort out a table for your reference.

Laser module — The relationship between the power,brightness and working disance.

Output power Brightness Level Best Working distance Description
<5mw Micro Light < 0.5 meter 1. In less than 0.5 meters.

2. Under the weak light environment.
You can see the laser beam.

<10mw Low Light < 1 meter 1. In less than 1 meters.

2. Under the weak light environment.
You can see the laser beam.

<100mw Middle Light < 3 meters 1. In less than 3 meters.
2. Under 8 fluorescent lights environment.
You can see the laser beam.
<200mw High Light < 5 meters 1. In less than 5 meters.
2. Under 30 fluorescent lights environment.
You can see the laser beam.
>250mw Ultra-high Light < 8 meters 1. In less than 8 meters.
2. In good light,under unlight scattering environment.
You can see the laser beam.(Direct sunlight, unavailable)
