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 ...
Ultrafast lasers are making further headway in industrial applications, and a new approach to rapid beam scanning developed by engineers at US-based Electro Scientific Industries (ESI) could help ...
These optical scanners comprise two separate, perpendicular planar mirrors that rotate independently. They are positioned in a manner wherein laser light bouncing off the first mirror (axis 1) ...
Figure 1: Dependence of the ablated depth by GHz burst LIPAA process on the intra-pulse number in GHz burst pulse for the various intra-pulse fluence (0.18, 0.22, 0.27, 0.36, 0.44 and 0.53 J/cm2). GHz ...
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) have devised a striking new addition to contact stamping technologies in the recently-completed ERDF research project “ScanCut”. In ...
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 ...
Semiconductors are an integral part of the inner workings of medical devices, assisting in the conductivity between a non-conductor and a conductor to control electricity flow. In turn, the assembly ...
