  1. Alignment Laser ZT

    Alignment Laser ZT

    This small laser module is ideal for the textile industry, and is therefore mainly used for positioning applications in the textile sector.
    Flexible
    The ZT laser’s interchangeable optics make it very flexible. In addition, the adjustable light intensity always guarantees high visibility. Due to its small size (16 mm diameter), the ZT laser is also suitable for integration into existing systems. Furthermore, we offer optical output power of 1 mW and 5 mW. This allows us to fulfill the 1M and 2M eye-safe laser classes.
