‘Solid State Laser’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from
Q-Sys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling from
Laser Design: "Laser Design has announced that Schneider Electric recently installed a Laser Design Faro arm laser scanning system in its Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Airchannel
- take a look at Airchannel helps timber specialist save energy
which says: "Airchannel has installed a variable speed compressor for DG Heath (Timber Products) that will provide a 50 per cent energy cost saving per annum. ".
Take a look also at the news release from PCB Piezotronics, PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns,
as well as Mobilescan HD helps gun grip maker improve quality from NVision,
and Solidworks CAD software used in blind car from SolidWorks Corporation.
