Professor Duncan Hand discusses the results of CIM-Laser, a collaboration between five UK universities that has supported the country’s uptake of laser-based manufacturing over the past five years
Dr Daniel Arnaldo del Cerro, laser applications engineer at Oxford Lasers, describes how global energy consumption could be cut back through laser surface texturing to minimise the friction of moving mechanical components
Dr Martynas Barkauskas has taken over as CEO from Dr Algirdas Juozapavičius, who will continue to advise the company.
Amplitude has released its new Tangor UV high-power femtosecond laser, which is able to deliver up to 150µJ of UV pulse energy, has a repititon rate ranging from single shot to 2MHz, and a pulse width of 500fs.
The new laser can dramatically enhance a production line by providing an excellent balance between cutting quality and throughput, while being compact and lightweight.
It has been designed to be easily integrated into a production line, and offers high processing flexibility, no matter the optical setup used.
Amada Miyachi America, a manufacturer of welding, marking, cutting, sealing and bonding technology, has received a multi-million dollar, multi-system order for ultrashort pulse laser micromachining equipment in a major United States-based medical device manufacturer
New regulations dictate that certain medical devices must be marked with a unique device identification code. Here we explore how different laser technologies can be used to produce these markings
