Advanced Control Technology For Laser Material Processing

Lasers have been used for welding and cutting applications in materials processing for many years. However, laser technology has frequently been considered a specialist area, requiring complex control systems for accurate positioning, as well as significant investment and expertise. Recently, the cost of lasers has collapsed, opening this powerful technology up to new applications; even the latest extremely fast ultrashort pulse lasers are now feasible options for machine builders who would typically have used ‘less risky’ laser setups.
