Z-Laser, a leading manufacturer of laser modules and laser systems, presents fibre-coupled laser systems. Its newly developed “ZFSM” laser systems utilise the inherently superior optical properties of fibres. This new product is especially suitable for applications with highest requirements in projection accuracy that is demanded in industrial machine vision and medical application. Optical properties of fibres are superior compared to bare laser diodes in terms of the beam profile (M² (…)

Trumpf was the first to introduce industrial diode-end-pumped marking lasers to the market, making the process fast, economical and reliable. Today its systems are used throughout industry for product labelling and traceability. From September 25 to 26 at MM Live Birmingham (Stand K17) the company will demonstrate examples from both its TruMark OEM and standalone, workstation ranges. Both are complemented by TruTops Mark software that enables the technology to be optimally tailored to the (…)

Balliu MTC nv is a company active worldwide with an extensive sales- and service organisation. Their sole business is developing and manufacturing Laser-equipped machines for all kinds of applications and materials, whether it is a titanium wire frame for sunglasses or turbines for jet engines. Today they present the new LD1500x500 machine. 24/7 working The new LD1500x500 is custom made for laser cutting disks out of a 0.6 mm thick coil. This machine is dedicated to produce without (…)

LPKF Application Center expands production range. The new clean room in Erlangen, Germany started operations at the end of 2010. LPKF LaserWelding uses it for welding-process evaluations, especially for particularly sensitive plastic products. Microfluidic systems are tiny magic boxes used to carry out complex analysis or processes in a minimal amount of space. It is also obvious that tiny dust particles can cause serious problems with channels and welding seams only a few micrometers wide. (…)

Recent developments now make it possible to have laser sources which combine performance with compactness – several hundred Watts in less than 20 cm high. These equipments produce a beam of such high quality that they are capable of welding spots just a few tens of microns in diameter. The same laser can operate in either pulse or continuous mode, making it possible to cover an extremely broad range of applications and to work on a large spectrum of conventional and precious metals. . (…)
