Seals, filters, fluid reservoirs, carriers for special adhesive tapes: Thanks to special material properties, INDUCON brand foams are used in a wide variety of products and industries around the world. Extensive tests in the eurolaser application laboratory have shown that laser systems are far superior to all other cutting technologies in every aspect when it comes to the packaging of materials. As precise as foam can be processed with traditional technologies, cutting alone rarely gets (…)

Leading laser manufacturer Luxinar has launched the OEM 100iX sealed CO2 laser source for industrial processing applications. With a power range of 50-1000W and a wavelength of 10.6m, the new OEM 100iX from Luxinar is an extension to the company’s OEM series using the same proven RF-excited slab laser design. The laser source provides higher speeds and increased productivity for processes such as high volume cutting, kiss cutting, scoring, multi-ply cutting and die board cutting for the (…)

Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were indications of cooling in the laser industry. According to figures issued by the VDMA Working Committee “Lasers and Laser Systems for Material Processing”, both production and incoming orders dropped by about 18 per cent in 2019. Dr. Alexander Arndt, Manager of Digitalization and Process Design at Laserline GmbH Yet even in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, there are opportunities to be taken, as demonstrated for instance by applications in (…)

Desktop and Performance series manual welding systems: these products enable the (…)

Laser sintering technology enables medical technology designers to print plastic objects for feasibility studies within a very short time. The functional prototypes largely have the same properties as injection-moulded parts. EEM AG goes one step further: It manages a balancing act between the production of prototypes and small series. ‘The spine is the key to health’ - Cyrill Aemisegger, responsible for development, technology and production at EEM AG, reminds us of this 2000-year old (…)

With the ByTube 130, Bystronic is launching a brand new laser cutting system that offers manufacturing companies an easy entry into tube processing – a field of business with a bright future. In the past, many metal processing job shops and original equipment manufacturers have limited their operations to the processing of sheet metal. In doing so, they have missed out on sales opportunities. With the new ByTube 130 laser cutting system, manufacturing companies can now gain access to new (…)

Laser manufacturer Coherent will present a range of sub-systems and systems that service a variety of plastics processing tasks, including welding, cutting, degating and marking. Whatever the application, these tools enable the plastics fabricator to reduce production costs, improve quality and yields, and implement more environmentally friendly processing. One key product on display will be the Coherent ExactWeld 230 P, a complete turnkey tool that enables particle-free high-throughput (…)

Laser Induced Deep Etching (LIDE) for thin glass opens new perspectives. "With the new LIDE precision process, we are enabling microsystems technology to exploit the full potential of glass," explained Dr. Roman Ostholt, Vice President LIDE at LPKF, in a presentation at the 3D Systems Summit 2019 in Dresden, Germany. The examples ranged from through glass vias to glass embedding and glass capping solutions with almost vertical walls. Glass substrate for embedding fan-out packages featuring (…)
