GalileoVS laser

[RVNG]

Does anyone know how to tell what wattage of laser a Galileo has? 5mW / 60mW?

thanks,
RG

I believe it is a 5mW laser.

Thanks Jon.
I thought some systems may have recieved an upgrade a few years after they were introduced that brought them up to 60mW?
I could be mistaken,

The VE, VS and VXT did support N91V plates at some point, they must have used 30 mwatt diodes. At least that's what the 2004/2005 specs say.

All Galileo did start with 5mW laser...Later in 2005 it was possible to upgrade to 60mW (for customer who wanted togo with N91V Photopolymer plates). Next to that the 5mW did fade out, so if the 5mW laser did need to be replecaed a 60mW was installed.

Yes.
5 mW diode replaced with a 60 mW version.
The CLDM no longer uses a Thermal Electric Cooler (TEC).
A new heater control board added to the CLDM.
24 V heaters on the diode plate and the Asphere assembly.
Jumper added to Galileo VXT 4C boards to configure TEC function (off).
A new signal conditioning board added to the carriage for diode cal pulse.
New edge detect sensor for use with N91V Photopolymer plates application only.



Hope this will help.

contact me if you need help.

By the way, Galileo laser has never upgraded to 30mw laser. 5mw upgraded to 60mw laser

Thanks for all your responses. What I was after is if there is a way of telling what laser I have currently by looking under the hood (in laymans terms, thanks anyway Farshad)... a serial number on the laser device or a board number or a marking of somekind on the internal systems.

Thanks,
RG

send me your e-mail. I will provide you with a picture to help you identify the laser

Has anyone every upgraded a Galileo VS from a 5mW to a 60mW laser? Just wondering what the ballpark costs would be?
