Understanding solid-state laser

Solid- state laser consists of two major component the optics (lasing crystal and mirrors), and the electronics (power supply, internal controls).

Metal cutting load analysis

In a metal cutting operation, a tool deforms the workpiece material and causes it to shear away in the form of chips. The deformation process generates heat and pressure, loads that eventually cause the tool to wear out or fail.

During the interview, Bryan talked about the products and challenges they face competing against the well-established international brands.

Maximising number of cutting edges

The thickness of the chips produced in milling strongly influences cutting forces, cutting temperature, tool life and chip formation and evacuation. If chips are too thick, heavy loads are generated that can chip or break the cutting edges.

3D printing light-weight components

Additive manufacturing (AM) is opening up new business opportunities by freeing design from the restrictions of traditional manufacturing processes, enabling customization, and speeding up product time-to-market. Together, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd and Nurmi Cylinders Oy have developed a cost-efficient, 3D-printed, reliable hydraulic valve block that is 66% lighter than the original part.
