Be they ball bearings in bicycles, slide bearings in the crankshafts of ships, or high-performance bearings in motor sports – bearings fulfill a wide range of…
Using laser welding for joining thermoplastics is an industrially established process. The advantages of this process are, among other things, high automation…
Developed by engineers at the University of Leeds, the technique uses infra-red spectroscopy to monitor supersaturation – the levels of chemical saturation in…
The new coatings are designed to better protect materials from the effects of environmental exposure. Applications range from automotive paints and marine…
The five-axis, computer-controlled milling center can now perform two jobs: Three-dimensional deposition welding using a 1.5-kilowatt diode laser and component…
Everyone is familiar with and enjoys ice cream. But do we really know how it is produced on an industrial scale? During ice cream’s production process, the…
Researchers working in the European ROLLED project have developed a flexible OLED element that can be mass produced using roll-to-roll printing technology. The…
It has to get by with as few additive materials as possible, and should under no circumstances influence or contaminate the materials. As an alternative to…
The newly developed LIFTEC® joining process (patent pending) works by heating a component, or a part of it, by laser radiation which passes through the plastic…
Fuel is expensive, so cars need to become lighter and lighter. To ensure that this weight loss does not come at the expense of safety, the vehicles’ metal…
Aluminium alloys are largely used in all kind of industries, e.g. in the car industry, mechanical engineering and aerospace industry. For some applications the…
More and more oil extraction takes place on the ocean floor –not the easiest place to reach when it comes to maintaining and repairing pipelines that don’t…
The “LaserCoat” research project in a collaborative research effort consisting of eight academic, research and commercial organisations and part-financed by…
Thanks to its extremely high index of refraction, LASF35 glass offers excellent properties for sophisticated lens systems used in tight spaces. By relying on a…
Glass is a versatile, popular material for a wide range of applications. Cutting the glass is key to obtaining high-quality products. In the conventional…
As these types of lasers become more efficient, they could be used in next-generation laser-based defense systems to fool incoming missile attacks or detect…
