HNL Series Medium Duty Laser Systems

  • 1/2 milliwatt, 2 milliwatt, and 5 milliwatt output available
  • Optional modules convert beam spot to a line
    or cross-hair
  • Highly visible red (632.8nm) beam
  • Available in 115VAC, 220VAC, or 12VDC models
  • Pre-drilled and tapped for ease of mounting

The newest member of the Jodon Helium Neon Laser family is the HNL — a medium duty industrialized HeNe laser system that can be used for a variety of photoelectric and visual alignment applications.

The HNL’s combination of rugged construction and entry level pricing make it the perfect choice for industrial applications where the NEMA 12 rated cast aluminum housing of the Jodon HNT is not required.

The HNL features a “hard seal” coaxial type laser tube mounted in a metal enclosure, and the power supply is encapsulated for protection against electrical shorting. The housing is pre-drilled and tapped for 1/4-20 screws for mounting on walls or beams, and an optional mounting bracket is available.

Jodon can supply the HNL in one of three different beam configurations — spot, line, or cross-hair. 1/2 milliwatt, 2 milliwatt,and 5 milliwatt models are available. Let us know your application and we will help you select the system that best suits your needs.
