Automotive manufacturers are currently facing throughput challenges when welding fuel cells
Joerg Volpp is an associate professor and Adrien da Silva is a PhD student at the Luleå University of Technology.
Joerg Volpp and Adrien da Silva, at the Luleå University of Technology, investigate beam shaping possibilities for high-power processing
Laser Mech’s new FiberWELD DH is a high-power, laser wire, direct deposition head for processing macro-scale industrial and aerospace components
A Dynamic Beam Laser from Civan Lasers has been installed at Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden. The institute is thus the first research institution worldwide to utilize such a laser solution. (Image: Fraunhofer IWS)
The institute expects the technology to overcome the challenges of using crack-sensitive materials in additive manufacturing
The CANUNDA-HP head generates an extremely homogeneous and well-defined rectangular beam profile. (Image: Cailabs)
The device is perfectly suited to high-powered surface treatment processes, such as heating unidirectional composite strips, hardening or polishing metals, and cleaning surfaces
The new methods being developed will make it possible to move between 3D beam shapes with zero down-time (Image: Heriot-Watt University)
The research will making it possible to move between 3D beam shapes with zero down-time, low cost and minimal technical know-how
This webinar will present some of the current challenges in laser welding and how beam shaping and steering can be used to overcome these challenges
Laser 2000 will distribute Cailabs' CANUNDA product line in Germany, Austria and German speaking Switzerland.
Coherent's new solution for 3D marking meets the increased need to mark non-flat surfaces, such as curved, inclined, recessed, and stepped surfaces as well as free-form objects.
The new SCANcube IV can be perfectly configured for the required application using different tuning and mirror variants
