Scanners Handle High-Power Welding

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Greg LaManna, Trumpf Inc

The idea of scanning a laser beam has been around for years. Until recently, though, the concept has been implemented primarily with low-power lasers in equipment such as laser printers and in marking images and text on manufactured components; e.g., integrated circuit chips, computer keyboards and automotive components. In the past few years, researchers at Trumpf Inc. have worked to integrate multikilowatt CO2 lasers with scanning technology. The strategy devised uses a focus optic mounted to a linear drive axis to move the focal point in the vertical axis, and two deflection mirrors...Read full article
