*NEW 2019* 100% Diode laser RGB Systems ARCTOS ELECTRUS >66W RGB(Y)
Our systems are provided with a processor controlled internal thermoelectric cooling of heat-generating components and an exceptional internal heat dissipation. Every laser is processor controlled and monitored, stabilized on 0.1°C. This assures a perfect performance under the temperature range from 5°C up to +39 °C.
Coverage of the visible spectrum of laser light 450 nm to 640 nm (optional RED: 650-655nm) achieves pure white light corresponding to our specified output in watts. Arctos specifies the typical (max) and the 100% guaranteed output power after! Scanner. No unrealistic max current laser power specifications - only true measured values.
Our RGB linearization achieves a brilliant color representation of >16.7 million colors without any decoloration during fading in or fading out.
Arctos has the worldwide most extensive experience in diode showlaser manufacturing: our diode array patterns are pioneering and sophisticated.
ARC represents an innovative system which has proved itself in many years of stable design and clear concept. For every customer, having a little bit technical know-how, - it is obvious that geometrical systems incorporate more stability than futuristic-form with arched lids and decorated designs - though it might be interesting for the eye – however unfriendly& impractical in handling. We have incorporated every strong “+” argument in our Designs.
Arctos engineering is well known for its solid and “frame-art” housing structure (10-15mm thick solid metal). All optical components are mechanically & thermally separated from the housing. Vibrations and shocks are virtually eliminated by the frame – square structure & solid materials. The optical level of the system is mechanically levitated. It ensures no re-adjustment before operation.
Adjustment-free optical components; fog-; humidity- and dust-proof housing, shock-absorbing-levitated technology and processor operated electronic as well as separated optical and electrical components: all max user friendly design.
Exact compliance with technical specifications as well as top-quality laser sources, heavy-duty switching-mode power supplies (SMPS), individually fused current consumers, soft-start and additional line filters plus supplementary use of voltage converters in front of each Arctos laser diode guarantees an absolutely sound DC-power supply of the diodes at any rate. All installed laser sources have an average life span of >10.000 h. Arctos RGB systems show positive experience values since 2003: no lifetime problems.
Low power consumption of less than<1,7kW (20W RGB) and max 600W (10WRGB) with maximum cooling provided.
Direct Access to Picture scaling; X-Y Size Offset, Flip and Color Balance.
Arctos “Regatta Input Card” ensures that the output can be set very easily at the backside panel of the device. It can be scaled, inverted, reflected or the position of the output can be regulated. This is possible through a predefined control unit (LC Screen display) at the back of the systems

The ILDA input is based on a 25 pin ILDA standard connection which can be accessed by any common lasershow software.
Optionally Arctos digital remote provides access to adjust and monitor the Driver settings, laser temperature and more, operations if necessary can be adjusted by qualified personnel.
As simple & as logic to operate as a video projector. This is primarily beneficial when mobile and flexible applications are required.
Arctos internal microprocessors control and monitor the entire thermoelectric cooling and ventilating as well as the diodes. Therefore a continuous, exact and stable operation mode can be provided which is also beneficial for the lifespan of the system.
Special broad-range combinatorial circuits (developed only for Arctos systems) switched mode power supplies are applied within the (required voltage input 90 - 260 V) to provide the laser with an absolutely sound stable voltage (no voltage peaks).
Voltage converters in front of each diode additionally grant a further voltage smoothing and protect from peak voltage.
Due to the system redundancy each laser source as well as any other power supplied component is equipped with a single fused high-quality heavy-duty power supply unit (PSU). This offers extra protection from complete system failure. Furthermore it also avoids „crosstalk“ between the individual systems.
Our laser sources correspond the highest standards, are also used in industrial and medical sector.
Our Lasersystems can be modular equipped with diodes, DPSS and OPS-laser as well as the recent Taipan® OPSL sources from Coherent®. (OPSL= Optical Pumped Semiconductor Laser):
The OPSL technology provides an outstanding beam quality ranging from 5 W to 34 W.
Beam data from 0.7 mrad with a diameter of 4 mm are perfect for graphic and open-air applications with great distances e.g. mountain projections and sky-beams.
ARCTOS is certificated Integrator of Coherent: Arctos OPS Laser DRIVER : DLP40-T.
Each system is equipped with a dynamic scanner-safety (1M0) specially developed for Arctos lasersystems.
This electronic safety device provides protection from defects as well as operator and programming errors. This widely exceeds the required DIN EN 60825-1 and BVG B2 regulations.
An important aspect is the stability of the single lasermodules and diodes: Arctos has developed special design reflection holders and module inlays, with a determining change of the stability to the base plate. No de-alignment.
Divergence is one of the most important aspects for a laser of higher output. No sense to advertise for high laserpower if the divergence factor becomes thereby worse. To realize 1mrad or 0,35mrad with optical telescopes – it requires special changes in laser diode combining systems (diode pattern). Arctos could prove this always on shows and exhibitions with excellence. No other diode-based RGBY system could hold up to us by our long progress & innovation.
The aim is an affordable device which is small, customer- friendly and hardly de-adjustable in the rough mobile show business. We have reached this by years of experience.
Also it is irrational to fall back to a technology which requires more voltage, is bigger and generates more heat. Why one should walk back to a technology of the past?
A guarantor of size - compactness. Rational mechanical separation and positioning of the TEC-cooling units does not cause any thermal & mechanical tension. Rational metal design and strong framing of the ARC- system housing guarantees max stability.
