High-throughput laser micro-machining demands precise control of the laser beam position to achieve optimal efficiency, but existing methods can be both time-consuming and cost-prohibitive. In this ...

Laser-assisted machining (LAM) hard, brittle materials, such as semiconductors and ceramics, utilizes a laser to heat an area to soften it before it is machined. The rest of the work piece is not ...

A new hybrid process allows high-strength coating materials to be applied quickly and efficiently, with concurrent machining, to produce critical parts with extended service life quickly, and with ...

CGI Automated Manufacturing, which is backed by CORE Industrial Partners, has acquired Advanced Laser Machining, a provider of metals-focused contract manufacturing solutions. No financial terms were ...

Let’s explore the adaptations, operational realities and vision behind the installation of Wattsan’s 4in1 system and laser ...

The thickness of the bipolar plate is decreasing as fuel cells used in vessels and aircraft become lighter and more efficient. In this context, a worldwide R&D project has created a laser machining ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – An innovative technique for machining brittle ceramic materials by first softening them with heat from a laser may cut in half the cost of making components for a growing U.S.

Expansion of laser systems means that non-metal processing can now be addressed. Santa Clara, Calif., November 2, 2010 – Coherent, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) has expanded upon its family of ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...
