Greenstone GST-LQ Series High-Power Laser Heating & Quenching Optics Head (6–12 kW, IP65, Rectangular Spot, Closed-Loop Temperature Ready)
Presentation of the equipment's characteristics
The Greenstone GST-LQ Series High-Power Laser Heating & Quenching Optics Head is engineered for industrial laser heat treatment, including laser quenching (laser hardening) and constant-temperature laser heating on metal components. Designed to handle up to 12 kW laser power, the GST-LQ head is compatible with mainstream fiber lasers and semiconductor lasers, making it an ideal choice for production environments that require stable, repeatable thermal processing. By combining different optical focusing configurations, the GST-LQ series supports controlled energy delivery for applications such as surface heating, selective hardening, and localized thermal strengthening—helping manufacturers replace flame/induction processes in many scenarios and improve process consistency, automation readiness, and part-to-part quality.
Built for harsh shop-floor conditions, the GST-LQ series features an IP65 sealed structure to help resist dust ingress in continuous production. A high-stability copper-mirror optical design supports reliable output under high power, while the dual protective-lens architecture is designed to reduce contamination risk and extend optics service life. For demanding duty cycles, the head adopts an internal-cavity dual water-cooling system, supporting long-duration thermal processing with stable performance. To match common market demand in laser heat treatment (gears, shafts, rings, sleeves, and complex surfaces), the GST-LQ series provides customizable rectangular spot options for uniform heating coverage and controlled temperature gradients. For customers building advanced heat-treatment cells, the head can be configured with CCD monitoring and a closed-loop temperature control system, enabling constant-temperature heating from 400–2500°C (system configuration dependent), which is widely requested for repeatable hardening depth and reduced thermal distortion.
