Aerospace equipment is developing towards higher thrust-to-weight ratios, higher operating temperatures, lower weight and longer service life. Nickel-based superalloys, SiCf/SiC ceramic-matrix composites, carbon-fiber composites and titanium alloys are increasingly used. Their hardness,…
Five-axis scan heads offer a fast, flexible way to produce precise holes, contoured slots and other features with fully defined cross sections. With an appropriate system, control of the laser, scanner and…
Industrial laser processing increasingly seeks two outcomes at once: higher throughput over larger areas, and finer structures with tighter tolerances and more stable energy distribution. A single beam-deflection technology cannot optimise every…
