Nearly everyone, even those outsides the sciences, has encountered at one point or another a “laser”— Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers produce narrow, uniform beams of ...

A fabricator that needs to weld thick plate in as few passes as possible often will turn to submerged arc welding (SAW), a legacy process that has dominated heavy fabrication for decades. Variations ...

Yongcui Mi has developed a new technology that enables real-time shaping and control of laser beams for laser welding and directed energy deposition using laser and wire. The innovation is based on ...

The researchers are now able to further increase the amplitude of the scan angle multiplier by making additional changes inside their invention. They have started a company, called Pacific Optica, to ...

Physik Instrumente’s S-335 two-axis fast steering mirrors with PICMA piezo actuators aim to be the benchmark for laser beam steering in high-speed applications. Ceramic encapsulated PICMA piezo ...

MIT researchers have built a nanoscale photonic device shaped like a tiny ski jump that launches laser light directly off a ...

Cobot laser welding at THG goes back several FABTECHs, during a dinner conversation between company representatives and a custom metal fabricator. The shop owner spoke with the reps about the emerging ...

German manufacturer Cinogy have been partnering Photon Lines Ltd for over a decade, and during that time the business for online automated testing has continued to grow. Cinogy’s high performance ...

In the rapidly advancing field of microelectronics manufacturing, the demand for higher throughput and precision in via drilling has never been greater. This translates into a market demand for more ...

Unlike fictional laser swords, real laser beams do not interact with each other when they cross—unless the beams meet within a suitable material allowing for nonlinear light-matter interaction. In ...
