Fabrication & Cutting

Increasing demands on cleanliness, in terms of freedom from both particulate and film-type contaminants, call for the use of adapted cleaning solutions. These now include a new spray cleaning system for solvent-based cleaning machines by Ecoclean.

A full line of OEM compatible, field-replacement CO2 laser lenses that are offered with specific focal lengths optimized to the material surface has been introduced by Laser Research Optics.

SCANLAB GmbH's 5-axis precSYS subsystems enable industrial ultra-short-pulse (USP) laser micromachining of flexible, definable geometries with high aspect ratios. The availability of a subsystem optimized for 515nm lasers is particularly attractive in the electronics industry, where it allows creating probe cards with even finer lateral structures.

Abrasive waterjet machining can be a terrific complement to more traditional machining processes.

Swedish researchers break down the causes of tool coating degradation.

EXAIR's new 30-gallon Heavy Duty HEPA Vac is a powerful, HEPA-quality, industrial vacuum cleaner. This smaller volume drum means that it will fit in tighter spaces and is suited for less frequent or lower volume applications.
