The concept of laser paint stripping has been around for a long time. Laser ablation is attractive because it can avoid damage to the part caused by abrasive methods of paint removal and does not require the use of toxic…
Polygon scanners are most commonly running on Ball Bearings or self-generating Air Bearings. Ball Bearings work well from zero to 10,000 RPM. Ball bearings may be run at double that speed but the life will be reduced and grease misting…
Beam expanders are required in most laser systems to change the diameter of the incoming source to match the requirement of the optical system. In size restricted applications, it is desirable to use a compact beam expander but in most…
When an engineer designs a laser scanning system, a suitable beam expander is used to adapt the source to the optical system. The scanning system can take a long time to develop and may remain in production for many years. …
Many laser systems have a beam expander to change the diameter of the beam from the source to match the requirements of the optical system. Most beam expanders have two or three lenses to accomplish the task. While three lenses…
