Mitsubishi Laser debuts its latest laser innovation in its model eX-S, available from MC Machinery Systems Inc.

A new direct-diode laser system from Coherent Inc. offers higher power, which translates into increased throughput for applications in metal cladding and heat treating.

Raydiance, a provider of all-laser manufacturing solutions, announced the R-Drill (pictured), R-Tube and R-Mill, to address micromachining challenges in the automotive, industrial and medical device industries.

A new series of protective sapphire windows for 1µm optics that offer superior durability to zinc-sulfide and fused silica lenses is being introduced by Laser Research Optics.

Tapeswitch Corp. offers a new programmable, mini safety laser scanner solution for simple through complex machine/area guarding applications, further expanding its custom/configurable machine guarding solutions consisting of mats, light curtains, laser scanners, non-contact safety switches and trapped key – interlocks, and PCU Control Unit based on machine user/builder applications, programmable logic control product features with capable configuration from simple to complex machine guarding, and safety device integration.

From dual-clutch transmissions to the classic differential, modern transmission technology is a pivotal research sector in the automotive industry where designers optimize the functionality of gearwheels with new materials and altered geometries. These gearwheels are also required in ever larger quantities as the number of speed-gears in many passenger cars continues to increase. Laser welding is one innovation promoting effective processes and EMAG capitalizes on their knowledge in the production of transmission components with ELC series of laser welding machines that offer integrated solutions for processes with high output rates.

Mitsubishi Laser introduces the new RX series, designed to give operators the capability to cut big, without carrying a heavy price tag.

The new 430 BeamDirector from Prima Power Laserdyne is available with a newly developed right angle nozzle which is used for close in cutting, welding and drilling.

Custom laser optics made from zinc selenide and zinc sulfide in virtually any shape and size, with precise tolerances and surface finishes, are being introduced by Laser Research Optics.

Komatsu has announced advances made to its NTC TLH 5-axis fiber laser processing systems.

The new DIAMOND E-250 is the latest member of the E-Series CO₂ laser family from Coherent Inc.

A line of direct field-replacement CO₂ laser optics for Amada, Coheren, Cincinnati, Epilog, Mazak, Synrad and Universal laser systems are available from Laser Research Optics.

The Gi-360 T (tilt) high-speed laser inspection system from General Inspection provides a host of benefits.

Manufacturing a wide range of miniature thin-walled tube products requires the highest precision from the cutting and drilling processes used to produce them. The delicate tube material has to be machined without inducing distortion or leaving burrs, and this is where laser systems such as ROFIN's StarCut Tube offer significant advantages when compared to chemical and mechanical machining procedures, according to the company.

Coherent Inc. has expanded its family of industrial ultrafast lasers with the Talisker HE series, whose high energy pulses reportedly enable drilling, cutting and scribing of thicker materials than with other ultrafast lasers.

FANUC America Corp.'s FANUC CNC Series 30i/31i-L MODEL B high-speed laser controls offer fabricators streamlined efficiency and increased productivity using Ethernet and Ethernet/IP field bus options and newly supported FANUC NCGuide simulation software.

A new line of gold plated copper mirrors for Mitsubishi high power lasers that are available for immediate delivery to minimize downtime is being introduced by Laser Research Optics.

Built especially to handle oversized formats, the TruLaser 8000 laser from Trumpf Inc. cuts sheet metal up to 52 feet in length.

CO₂ laser focusing lenses that are OEM compatible with Amada high-powered steel cutting lasers and can be supplied overnight as complete assemblies are available from Laser Research Optics.

The latest turnkey laser solution from Rofin — MPS 3D (Modular Processing System 3D) — is designed for complex 2.5 D and 3 D material processing tasks.
