LPKF Laser & Electronics has concluded a joint development agreement for a glass processing technology with a major global display enterprise.
The companies have agreed not to disclose details of the agreement.
The two firms seek to further optimise a specific solution enabling future display devices.
If the development is successfully completed, LPKF expects the technology to be widely used in various applications for the enterprise.
Edmund Optics now offers two new objectives from AdlOptica that enable a growing range of laser optics applications
At Vitrum 2021 in Milan The HEGA Group is showing the ProLam LSR, a newly developed cutting system for laminated safety glass equipped for the first time with the time-saving laser diode heating system as a machine in series production
The global glass industry’s finest meet in Milan for Vitrum 2021.
Matthew Dale learns that ultrafast lasers can now be used to bond transparent materials to metals, unlocking a plethora of applications
The LZM-125 system uses a CO2 laser heat source to perform splicing, tapering, lensing and other high precision glass shaping operations
The technology has the potential to preserve data inside glass for millions of years without decaying
The PEARL M-UTG is used for cutting of ultra-thin flexible glass. The system is integrated in a fully automated processing line and enables the cutting of glass foils as thin as 30 µm
The new laser is ideal for structuring and ablating thin films in displays and photovoltaics, trimming of micro-resistors and capacitors, and high-contrast marking of medical devices, plastics and glass.
