Laser

Laser technology is perfectly suited for manufacturing micro-cavities in molds, microfluidic channels, or even micro-milling. Thanks to the S wide, we can offer excellent quality control adding, with SensoVIEW, all the details about the geometry summarized in a report.
In this study with an automotive company, we have proof how laser texturing enhances the functional performance of cylinder liner segments. Adding up the analysis software capabilities, we have assessed the frictional performance of the laser-textured surface.   
In this study, we demonstrate a novel laser surface texturing method based on a cost-effective sub-nanosecond (ns) near-infrared (NIR) fiber laser source. This laser-based method shows friction reduction and increased wear resistance, which in turn results in greater component efficiency and longer service life (e.g., pistons).
The 3D optical profilometer S neox allowed machining specialists to identify the tool responsible for the defect and to follow its wear during serial production, thus controlling the manufacturing process and improving its outcome.
Femtosecond laser is an ultra-short pulse duration laser. Until 2016, it was not possible to integrate a femtosecond laser onto a 5 axis machine. The Swiss group Georg Fischer first achieved this in 2016 thus becoming world pioneers in this technology. This development ushered in a new range of possibilities for manufacturing processes.
