TRUMPF Recognized as 2017 Young Adult Employer Champion
They receive the Pathways to Apprenticeship award from the National Fund for Workforce Solutions for their leadership in connecting youth to apprenticeship opportunities.
German Delegates Tour Messer Cutting Systems
The dignitaries from Hessen were given short presentations, walking tours through Messer and Castolin Eutectics, and live plasma cutting machine demonstrations.
Hypertherm Releases New CSR Report
They achieve record results in all areas of community engagement, environmental impact, and associate well-being.
LVD Strippit Mexico Names New Sales Engineers
Belisario Antillón and Sandra Torres now provide sales and technical support to their growing base of customers throughout Mexico.
Optics Protection for High Speed Fiber Laser Cutting
Fiber Shield Windows from Mate Precision Tooling provide maximum protection and increase the lifetime of precision lenses in laser systems by shielding valuable optic components in laser beam delivery systems from debris, fumes and other pollutants during the laser process.
Water-Guided Laser Cutting with Virtually No Heat Impact
Ideal for hole-drillers and shops that micro-machine metals, ceramics and composite materials with high precision in aerospace, industrial gas turbines, defense, medical, automotive, hard material tool making and general metal micro-machining, the Synova MCS 500 5-axis water-guided laser cutting system from Single Source Technologies greatly improves production yields by cutting and drilling perfectly parallel and clean kerfs or holes with virtually no heat impact.
Intelligent High Power Solid State Laser for Industry 4.0
The built-in intelligence of next generation TruDisk disk lasers from TRUMPF collects and monitors condition data and process parameters, and boosts energy efficiency through a new pulse function that ramps the current of the pump diodes down to zero amps, even during very short laser-off times between two processing steps.
Automatic Nozzle Changer Reduces Downtime on High Speed Fiber Laser
The Electra FL high speed fiber laser cutting machine from LVD Strippit includes an integrated nozzle changer option that features storage for ten nozzles for greater autonomy, reduced piercing times and increased overall throughput on the machine.
Cold Machining with Ultrafast Lasers
Femtosecond and picosecond laser systems produce high quality small features with high dimensional accuracy, with minimal burring and debris that reduces or eliminates post processing. However, these systems are expensive, so choose the laser and system wisely. Here are some things to consider.
Faster Than Ever: Revolutionary Laser Technology Changes the Game
The OPTIPLEX 3015 DDL laser cutting machine from Mazak Optonics uses direct diode laser technology for faster cutting speeds than fiber lasers of like power and wall-plug efficiencies of 45 percent as compared to 35 percent for fiber.
Air Assist Cutting Increases Cutting Speed, Lowers Production Costs
With its human-machine interface and user-friendly touchscreen controls, the CL-960 6 kW Fiber Laser from Cincinnati Incorporated uses advanced laser cutting capabilities to process thin material faster while cutting up to 3/4 in thick steel.
Deep Etching with a 2D Fiber Laser
Laser etching is a useful tool, but its limits as a light surface effect are apparent when a part number needs to be visible through paint or a powder coat. In these cases, deep etching can provide a simple solution – the trick is finding the right combination of hertz, laser wattage, focal diameter, and gas for your specific material.
