SummaStar Laser System

Great classic laser system from Summa Technologies.  This is the SummaStar system that features a standard 4.95 watt Helium Neon red laser mounted horizontally in the chassis.  The beam shoots from the tube and hits a set of scanning galvos.  This is what makes the cool shapes and designs of the laser.  There is a blocking module that sits in front of the laser tube.  This is used for a blackout of the beam.  Since it is a gas laser tube this makes it so you don't have to constantly ignite the tube reducing the life of it.  The effects are controlled from the effects generator unit.  This brings up a ton of cool programs for the laser system.  There is also a separate power unit that has a key switch and blackout control button.  This system was available in 3 different versions.  version 1 was just the power unit and laser head where the unit would just run a sequence of pre-programmed sequences.  The second version was laser power unit, head and effects generator (This version) which allowed much more control of the beam.  The third version was the power unit and a PC based computer controller.  We are currently in the process of changing out the old gas laser and putting in a much brighter blue diode laser.  Will be awesome once completed.  Great system made here in the US.
