infinity beam®
With the success of the sparks series, LOBO has proven to be able to build the world‘s brightest multi-color entertainment lasers. The new infinity beam projector takes everything, which made sparks so successful, to the next level.
Unlike any other entertainment technology, the brilliant beam of an infinity beam projector pierces trough the night sky for dozens of miles.
Custom-designed long-range optics and projection heads as well as a moving head base option make infinity beam not only a high-end alternative to regular sky-tracking searchlights with a reach increased by several orders of magnitude, but also a laser entertainment system for the masses with the lowest possible carbon footprint.
Years ago, LOBO did pioneering work with the groundbreaking PCS system. This proprietary optical system increased the effective brightness of the then strongest multicolor OPSL lasers by a factor of more than 9. For typical show applications, the infinity beam® system is also available with this technology - but with significantly higher performance and a razor-sharp TEM00 laser beam.
For even more demanding applications, the infinity beam® is also available with dedicated
long range display heads for single beams or projections. The completely newly developed DSC optics used here, trimmed for maximum performance even outshine LOBO's own PCS system and ensure an increase in brightness by up to 50 times over long distances.
This unique combination of unparalleld multicolor power with market-leading power density and highest flexibility marks the beginning of a new era for large-scale laser entertainment.
Built for Extremes
Infinity beam® systems are native outdoor projectors. Thanks to their dual-shell stainless steel IP54 housing, they are built for temporary outdoor use without the need for further protective housings. Anything inside is built to handle extreme power densities, which would destroy regular market-standard components immediately. This starts with supreme optical components and ends with especially designed scanning systems.
Integrated System Design
It takes a lot of expertise and sophisticated cooling systems, to operate long-range laser systems. Usually they require external units, such as chillers with water cooling. LOBO managed to integrate all components, including a cooling system for high ambient temperatures, into a compact enclosure. This allows easy handling, transport, short setup times and a hazzle-free operation.
Future-proof and modular
With flexible laser configuration and exchangable display heads, such as beam heads or projection heads for medium or large distances, an infinity beam® system can be adjusted optimally to any application. Lasers can be added, display heads can be exchanged or the Moving Base can be upgraded at any time without large investments.
Advanced Control
DDL-2® allows for the control of several independent systems with only one optical signal cable across large distances and without electromagnetic interference. A system-inherent saftey logic allows for all safety monitoring systems of all components to trigger an emergency off of the entire system. All system features and status displays can be controled via remote or via the controller.
Systems with beam heads including the Moving Base can also be fully controlled via DMX.
On basis of the LACON-5® controll platform, infinity beam systems installed in different locations can be synchronized wirelessly via GPS – even across continents!!
Virtually maintenance-free
The infinity beam® series is designed for maintenance-free, reliable continuous operation. In contrast to established solutions, time-consuming, permanent readjustments are not even necessary in road usage. The laser modules have a typical lifetime of more than 10,000 operating hours.
Easy handling
The system allows for quick assembly. Mounting and taring to the Moving Base is done with special quick locks. Camlocks allow for an easy traverse mounting.
Safety Remarks for Beam Display Heads
infinity beam® is a class 4 laser product with extreme output powers. Due to the extraordinarily low divergence, safety distances of many kilometers may apply. Especially when using Beam Display Heads, users have to take special safety measures.
The product features a selective, wavelength-dependent and unified irradiance adjustment, not only to increase the reach and brightness of the beam, but also to adapt the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) levels to different setup conditions (e.g. airports in reach). On long distances, also beam movement can significantly reduce safety hazards. Only especially educated persons should operate such systems. Buyers receive a free laser safety training including certification as laser safety officer according to BGVB 2 (VGB93).
Special safety measures have to be taken by qualified staff to avoid risk of eye damage, skin damage or fire. The beam must not be directed into the audience or into populated areas. To avoid such problems, LOBO developed in addition to the integrated safety features also an adjustable mechanical beam block, immediately switching off the moving base and the lasers in case of mechanical contact.
Laser beams can generally affect air traffic and distract or impair pilots during flight. Even accidential blinding of aircraft pilots has to be avoided under any circumstances. In many countries, severe penalties may apply in case of violations.
Qualified surveillance staff (plane spotters) and additional technical measures, such as ADS-B-based aircraft tracking services or airspace safety scanning devices according to the AS6029 standard, are highly recommended to avoid incidents of such nature.
As one of these suportive measures, LOBO provides an automated aispace surveillance option with position detection by GPS and an ADS-B-based air traffic surveillance system, leading to a fade-out when detected aircrafts enter the saftey zone.
infinity beam – Dimensions
The impressive dimensions of the infinity beam are a first indicator for the gigantic brightness that can be expected.
infinity beam – Brightness
The ultra-bright beam of the infinity beam does not seem to end at the horizon of the night sky - it appears to have an almost inifnite reach.
infinity beam – Colors
The inifnity beam is not only available in the usual green variant, but also in a particularly striking "mango red" version. With double or quadruple arrangement, interesting mixed colors can also be generated.
infinity beam – Visibility
The beam of the infinity beam in the "mango red" version is also characterized by its unsurpassed brightness.
infinity beam – Outdoor Chassis
The solid, double-shell outdoor chassis of the infinity beam is made from stainless steel and features protection class IP-54, being protected from dust and spray water from all directions.
infinity beam – Display Buttons
In order to optimally adjust the infinity beam to different applications, exchangeable display buttons, such as Beam Heads for single beams, or Projector Heads for large-scale projectiosn are available - in medium- and long-range versions.
infinity beam – Projections (1)
The infinity beam is particularly suited for large-scale outdoor projections. This image shows a projection onto a forest from a distance of 1.5 km. It also demonstrates the extreme improvement of brightness and sharpness when using a long range projection display head with DSC of the typeIBPL-4
infinity beam – Projections (2)
The daylight image from the perspective of the infinity beam projector clearly shows that this is a "regular" forest on a slope, onto which a projection is made from a comparatively large distance.
infinity beam – Projections (3)
In this aerial photography, the actual distances become even more apparent: a projection with a width of ca. 400 m and a projection distance of ca. 1.5 km.
