Industrial Lasers
Laser Automation: What You Need to Know
Lasers are ideal for industrial automation. Not only do they have the potential to increase productivity and repeatability, but they also possess key characteristics that facilitate automation. Examples include remote capabilities, low maintenance, almost no consumables and waste products, and minimal dust.
Understanding Laser Powers
Laser power is one of the most important parameters to consider when choosing a laser, as it plays a key role in determining the effectiveness of laser processes. In laser material processing, laser power directly impacts the speed of processes like laser welding, laser cleaning, laser texturing, laser cutting, and laser marking.
How to Choose a Laser Ablation Machine
Laser ablation machines are increasingly used in the manufacturing and automotive industries. They are a popular option to meet short cycle times, automate processes, reduce operating costs, and add precision to ensure high-quality results.
High-Power Laser Systems for Industrial Applications
In the manufacturing industry, engineers are constantly developing solutions made possible by high-power lasers. They are mainly used to mark, clean, texture, weld, and cut materials faster and meet short cycle times in production lines.
The Five Main Types of Lasers
Different types of lasers are needed for different applications. Based on their gain medium, lasers are classified into five main types: gas lasers, solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, liquid lasers (dye lasers), and semiconductor lasers (laser diodes).
What is an Industrial Laser and How Does it Work?
For a lot of people, lasers are small boxes that shoot red dots, which drive cats crazy. But in fact, laser systems are used in many manufacturing processes.
Fiber Lasers: Everything You Need to Know
Fiber lasers are everywhere in the modern world. Due to the different wavelengths they can generate, they are widely used in industrial environments to perform cutting, marking, welding, cleaning, texturing, drilling and a lot more.
How to Move the Marking Operation in the Casting Plant
To move the marking operation near the casting machine, you probably need to change or upgrade your marking system. Why is that? Most marking systems aren’t made to operate in casting plants.
CO2 vs. Fiber Laser - Which One Should You Buy?
If you’re looking to mark metal, what you need to buy is a fiber laser. If you’re looking to mark organic materials like textile, wood, or cardboard, a CO2 laser is the best choice.
