This Lasea system uses two processing heads to direct two halves of a more powerful, single ultrafast pulse to the workpiece in order to increase processing throughput.
Matthew Dale explores the advantages of increasing the average power of ultrafast lasers, and discovers how this higher power can be delivered to the workpiece
A version of Scanlab’s five-axis Precsys scan solution is now available that is optimised for green lasers operating at 515nm
Scansonic's latest ALO4 processing head is proving itself in series production for a leading automobile manufacturer
Scanlab, an OEM manufacturer of high-quality laser scan systems, has appointed Christian Sonner as its head of research and development (R&D). The highly experienced control expert will further strengthen the company’s market position in digital products and control solutions for the photonics industry.
II‐VI Incorporated has announced its new faster RLSK remote laser processing heads with integrated vision systems that enable welds with exceptional precision that are critical in next-generation automotive manufacturing
Polygon scanners can scan at hundreds of meters / second and have a high laser damage threshold which makes them ideal for high speed laser cleaning.
The new Gecko-5-HP1 is the first compact polygon scanner designed for high power laser cleaning. Its solid aluminum polygon has excellent heat dissipation and its dielectric coating is highly reflective at 1064 nm. It is ideal for laser cleaning with hand held and robotic arm systems. It will also find use in high speed assembly line laser cleaning.
The new excelliSCAN 20 scan system targets exceptionally demanding applications such as micromachining and additive manufacturing
Lasers are the tool of choice for many demanding tasks in material processing. But how to create the optimum beam profile? How can the quality of the laser beam and the processing result be analyzed or even continuously monitored during the process? What technologies are available on the market and are they suitable for my requirements? And what experiences have other users already had?
This workshop will show the current techniques available for beam shaping, analysis and monitoring, and the experiences that users have had with these techniques
Qioptiq has introduced its next-generation model of the motorised Linos Beam Expander 1x-4x for 515nm-540nm or 1,030-1,080nm
