Keep reading to learn about seven top applications for lasers in manufacturing. 1. Laser Marking. Lasers are increasingly used to imprint unique identification (UID) numbers on parts and products, which allow them to be easily traced in the event of a recall. Laser markings are highly durable and, for medical devices, can withstand many cycles ...
Heat and mass transfer in biotechnology (HMTB) plays a crucial role in applications like cryopreservation, drug delivery, cryosurgery, laser-cell interactions, stem-cell engineering, diagnostics and thermal therapies including photo-thermal, high intensity focused ultrasound, microwave, radio frequency, and magneto-thermal.
For 4D applications, the firm looks to its laser-assisted bioprinting technique. It uses laser pulses sent every nanosecond to deposit microscopic drops of bio ink loaded with cells onto a cartridge. The software controls the ejection as well as droplet volume to accuracies close a picoliter.
The platform combines computers using deep learning to identify and “zap” weeds with carbon dioxide lasers, mounted on a four-wheel platform powered by diesel and hydraulics. The weeder can kill over 100,000 weeds per hour with its eight laser modules, said John Mey, Carbon Robotics director of engineering. He credits the ability to use ...
This Standard establishes requirements and methods for specifying and testing the performance of a class of spherical coordinate measurement systems called laser trackers.¹ A laser tracker is an instrument that directs the light from a ranging device to a retroreflecting target (called a retroreflector) by means of a two-axis rotary steering ...
6 Applications for Robotics in Medicine. This story was updated on 10/25/2022. The global medical robotics market was valued at $16.1 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at an annual compound growth rate of 17.4 percent by 2030. A key driver for this growth is the demand for using robots in minimally invasive surgeries—especially for ...
Laser machining applications include pressure vessel welding, orifice drilling, proximity sensors welding, leading-edge hole drilling, battery welding, and sensitive electronics glove box welding. “For the aerospace industry, laser welding capabilities play an integral role in everything from flight components to airport security procedures ...
Space-based solar panels can generate 2,000 GW of power constantly, or about 40 times more energy than a solar panel would generate on Earth, according to the National Space Society. More for You: Infographic: Floating Solar Rides the Waves. To make space-based solar power (SBSP) feasible on a global scale, several main systems are required:
While electronic devices are the primary target at the moment, the technique could someday be used in other applications, such as helping with heat transfer issues in optoelectronic devices (LEDs or high-power laser diodes) or even determining the thermal properties of certain materials.
The biggest challenge, he says, is cost. The prototype machine costs around $500,000. The researchers are now working to reduce that cost, while continuing to broaden the range of the laser frequencies and making the equipment more compact and mobile. “We need to find a compromise between the cost and the application,” Vodopyanov says.
