Laser technology was developed in the mid-20th century, and over the decades has emerged as a leading processing method for a broad range of applications. One of the newest uses is for high precision laser micromachining.

Schunk, a premium tooling and resharpening company in Germany, utilizes state-of-the-art grinding systems and an ANCA workflow RFID system to finish job packets in a chaotic fashion driven by production needs rather than by job order.

Companies partner against COVID-19 to develop reusable metal filters for respirators.

Microengraving requires balancing cutting tool characteristics and machine capabilities.n

When designing parts, considering the manufacturing process can result in a better product, reduced cycle time and lower costs.

Swiss-style machines are attracting plenty of buyers and might be right for you.

Circular connectors with IP69 rating ensure the highest connectivity and reliability in harsh manufacturing environments that require hygiene and cleanliness as well as regular exposure to high pressure and temperature.

Named as "G-20" for the cards with 3D-TLC-NAND and "G-26" for the pSLC version, the fast and pluggable storage media will be available from the end of 2020. The latest memory card series offers capacities of up to 480 GB and a high-performance interface in accordance with 2-lane NVMe-1.3 and PCIe-Gen 3.1 specifications.

The new S-5x range comprises the S-50 SD and S-50u micro SD memory cards at a very competitive price point, alongside the high-endurance S-56 & S-56u versions which use 3D pSLC mode to achieve a tenfold increase in endurance. All support a full temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.

The line provides positioning accuracy and repeatability of +/- 1µm. A thermal compensation system employs sensors on the machine faceplate and inside the spindle to minimize the effects of temperature changes on part accuracy and cut temperature-generated displacement by 60 percent. This system also reduces Z-axis thermal growth and deflection by 30 percent.
