Robot System Enhances Laser Diode Manufacturing
PAISLEY, Scotland, Feb. 17, 2022 — A robotic system developed by Scotland-based thin-film coatings and photonics company Helia Photonics, in collaboration with the University of the West of Scotland (UWS), greatly enhances the production of laser diode components used for medical diagnostics, vision systems for self-driving vehicles, aviation, space, and forensic science. In application, the “HelBot” system enhanced production yields by close to 2000% and cut production time by 4000%. Traditionally,
