Arroyo 568 TECPak

RPMC Lasers’ manufacturer Arroyo designs, manufactures, and markets highly accurate laser diode drivers, temperature controllers, and fixtures for test and measurement of laser diodes and LEDs.  Arroyo is proud to announce the new 586 Series TECPak is available for sale. A combination of the display-less operation of its smaller brother (the 585 TECPak) plus the high-power output of the 5400 TECSource, the new 586 TECPak offers up to 392W of output power.

The 586 Series TECPak is set to provide for customers in manufacturing and embedded systems applications where the larger size, high price point, and full user interface would have prevented the 5300 or 5400 from being considered. Because price is often a concern, it will also enable sales where the 5300 or 5400 was outside their budget (the 586 sells for about 2/3 the price of the other units).

The 586 has a new LED/interlock feature for controlling an external LED or switch input, and a second sensor input for simultaneously monitoring two sensors (either can be used for control). It uses the same 17W2 interface as the 5400, and a cable is available to adapt it to the lower power DB15 interface found on many of Arroyo’s mounts.

For control, like its smaller 585 brother, the 586 has no user interface, intended to be controlled from a PC. To get your controller up and running quickly, you can use the free Arroyo Control software; it gives complete control and monitoring capability.

 The 586 can also be used in fixed applications without a PC, such as regulating the temperature in a long-term experiment. All settings are maintained even when the unit is off and will come back to the same state it was at power-off. An auto-start option allows you to configure the unit using ArroyoControl, and then simply turn it on with no PC required.
