Fundamental Concepts for Precision & Throughput in Laser Processing Machines
Most everyone familiar with large-scale industrial laser processing has seen a high-throughput laser CNC machine whirling around, cutting out large sheets and tubes of steel or aluminum with dizzying speed. Those of us involved in laser microprocessing, where part quality depends on micrometers of processing accuracy, wonder if we can achieve such feats of machine…
Read MoreThe Basics of Scanner Field of View and Strategies for Improving It
You’ve decided your process requires the speed and precision of a galvanometer-based laser scanner and you’re faced with determining which field of view your application will require. Many questions may come to mind, including: “What is a field of view?” “How will my laser and optical equipment affect my field of view?” “Which strategies exist…
