Using ultrashort pulsed laser radiation to structure fiber-reinforced components and remove their coatings
Composite materials made of glass or carbon fibers are characterized by their low specific weight and outstanding mechanical characteristics. Fiber-reinforced components are already being successfully processed today in industrial mass production. Although the…
Removing rust with CL-1000
The CL-1000, a 1000-Watt device developed by German CleanLaser, is able to remove rust totally. The handheld rust remover eliminates hours of manual labor, scrubbing machines, and apparently, residue in the machine shop…
Laser process creates stronger joints between aluminum and carbon fiber
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) researching team developed a laser process that could make joining carbon fiber composites and aluminum less expensive with more robust joints as a result. The process promises cheaper lightweight,…
TRUMPF introduces new features in TruLaser 5030 fiber
TRUMPF shocased its productive machine for 2D laser cutting – the TruLaser 5030 fiber – featuring both new functions and an additional choice of laser power. TRUMPF introduced new innovations that will make…
Heating materials more than Sun’s core
Scientists at Imperial College of London (UK) developed a new method that could allow lasers to heat certain materials to temperatures hotter than at the Sun’s core in 20 quadrillionths of a second. With…
TRUMPF introduces new image processing software for laser units
TRUMPF has developed the new image processing software VisionLine Mark for the laser units in the TruMark Series 3000, 5000 and 6000. The software has two new functions that make marking with a…
New YW52 laser welding head from Precitec
Precitec presented the YW52 laser welding head with integrated ScanTracker for the controlled weld position and weld seam width. In conjunction with the WeldMaster system for realtime process control and quality monitoring, this…
