Can a laser cutting machine cut galvanized steel sheets?

Principles of laser cutting:Laser cutting uses a high power density laser beam focused onto the workpiece to rapidly melt, vaporize, burn or ignite the irradiated material. At the same time, the molten material is blown away by a high-speed gas coaxial with the beam, thus achieving cutting of the wo

Lasers for Lithography

Lithography is the transfer of a designed pattern onto a flat surface, either directly or via an intermediate medium - excluding areas of the surface where the pattern is not required. In photomask lithography, where a design is patterned onto a substrate, a laser is used to expose the pattern, allowing deposited material to be etched away, preparing it for further processing. This lithography met

Choosing the Right Galvanometer and Servo for the Job

Galvanometer-based optical scanners are the preferred positioning solution for an increasingly broad range of industrial, scientific, imaging, and medical laser applications. While a number of scanning approaches are available, galvanometer-based scanners commonly called galvos offer flexibility, speed and accuracy at an attractive cost. While many imaging applications take advantage of the galvos
