With this study, has been proved that S neox Five Axis enables depth evaluation, thread geometry characterization, radial deviation measurement, and GD&T inspection and demonstrated the visual versatility and dimensional diversity.
Aerospace & Automotive
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.
Our research focuses on improving tribomechanical properties of Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings, deposited by the novel PVD technique High Power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) with positive pulses on tool steels.
The case study focuses on the development of nanocomposite W-C:H coatings with high hardness and simultaneously, with a lower coefficient of friction.
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).
