Guide to Scanner Based Laser Processing

This book supports decision-makers in all phases of laser machine procurement. It offers the relevant specialist knowledge for the process from the decision to the purchase of a laser processing system. In addition to the basics of laser technology, it also covers the topics of laser safety, application options, software and the possibilities of automating the machining process.
All authors have many years of professional experience in the field of laser machine construction and the industrial use of laser surface processing. Due to their different professional backgrounds, however, all aspects of the topic that are important in industrial practice are covered.

List of contents

History of Laser development.- Physical basics.- The secret of the laser beam.- Laser safety.- What every user needs to know about laser safety.- Types of surface processing with lasers.- Machine shapes.- The five "most important things" when purchasing.
