The latest technology for diemakers/diecutters is a major step forward from conventional cutting methods. Copyright Cahners Magazine Division of Reed Publishing USA Nov 1998. Laser cutting is gaining rapid acceptance by dieboard makers and converters alike because it can cut, weld, drill, sheet mark, kiss-cut, scribe, heat treat and engrave very precisely, quickly and in ways that were not previously possible. Staying ahead of the laser curve is Chicago-based Wisniewski Steel Rule Dies, Inc., the first diemaker to purchase Laser Machining, Inc.'s CM11OD laser dieboard system. |

Jurez residents Cesar Jareth Romo Gallegos, 3, left and Edgar Romo Gallegos, 9, show their laser visa cards at the Paso del Norte Bridge Monday, Sept. 30, 2002, in El Paso, Texas. The biometric, machine-readable laser visa cards become mandatory Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2002, and allow the user to visit the U.S. border zone for up to 72 hours. All foreigners with visas or passports issued after Oct. 26, 2004, will have to carry biometric identifiers in those documents if they want to enter the United States. (AP Photo/Bobbie Hernandez) |

Robotic Production Technologies (RPT) builds flexible turnkey robotic systems for manufacturing applications, primarily focused in the automotive trimming industry, and is a leader in water jet cutting technology in North America. Copyright Douglas Publications, Inc. Fall 1998. At the end of last year, RPT looked seriously at lasers as an option for their clients when a company came to them with an unusual trimming need, and RPT determined their standard router or water jet processes would not serve. |

Jill Norman, of Moorpark, Calif., prepares to launch one down the lane into the dazzle of laser lights, fog machines, music and glow-in-the-dark pins during Cosmic Bowling at Brunswick Valley Bowling Alley in Simi Valley, Calif., Thursday, Sept. 5, 1996. The atmosphere makes it more difficult to get a strike, but apparently high scores aren't as much of a priority as fun among some of the bowlers.(AP Photo/Ventura County Star, Chuck Kirman) |

TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY in the automotive airbag industry, a maker of motion control systems has developed a high-speed laser scanning system to cut fabric. Copyright American Society of Mechanical Engineers Nov 1993. The laser system, developed and patented in the United States by GE Fanuc Automation of Charlottesville, Va., cuts at speeds up to 100 inches per second and at surface accelerations up to 30 gs. A BEAM'S JOURNEY. First, engineers gathered all details regarding the fabric-cutting process. They knew that the laser focal point would have to scan within a 6-foot by 6-foot plane and that the beam should be intense enough to cut easily through woven nylon. |

The conventional methods of machining wood and wood composites include sawing, jointing, routing, and planing; after which adhesive and/or mechanical joining follow. Copyright Forest Products Society Feb 1993. Laser cutting of wood and wood composites has made it possible to process elaborate and complex shapes in one continuous sequence using a vision system and automation (7,12). This is not achievable with conventional wood-processing techniques. |

R. Clark Harris is the director of the United Technologies Center. Copyright Gardner Publications, Incorporated Jun 1992. United Technologies Industrial Lasers (UTIL) falls under his direction. He notes that United Technologies has invested, and will continue to invest, in laser technology. Of course, given that Pratt & Whitney is the largest United Technologies division, and given the importance of lasers for materials processing in the jet engine arena, that investment is clearly a wise one. |

John Langbein operates a laser device Monday, July 1, 2002, in Parkfield, Calif. Scientists use devices such as the one shown along the San Andreas fault to help better predict earthquakes. Because of the quakes' frequency in the Parkfield area, the surrounding area is covered with seismometers, strainmeters, creepmeters and just about every other tool used to study temblors.

Laser technology at Michigan State. (Michigan State University's Automated Lumber Processing System using laser technology in cutting wood) Sean Derning. Wood & Wood Products, Jan 1992 v97 n1 p18(1). [Full Text]: COPYRIGHT Vance Publishing Co. 1992. Using a laser beam that operates at 4000 C, the Forestry department staff at Michigan State University demonstrated ALPS (Automated Lumber Processing System) during an open house that included 30 woodworking industry representatives last Nov. 6. "Stewardship in our forests is an important topic today because it requires the efficient management of forest utilization, and that is the key to the ALPS," said Dr. Kali Mukherjee, chairman of the MSU's Department of Metallurgy, Mechanics and Material Science. "ALPS is capable of giving higher yields than traditional saw systems because it is very adequate and the kerf is one-tenth the width of a regular saw blade." |

A 15-second time exposure shows the red aiming laser and the blue flashes of electricity from an M26 Advanced Taser at the Marion, Iowa, Police Department Tuesday, June 7, 2004. The non-lethal force weapon uses Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) to override the central nervous system. A 50,000 volt, 26-watt charge causes an uncontrollable contraction of muscle tissue. A normal hit from the Taser lasts for five seconds. The time allows officers to subdue the subject before that person can recover. (AP Photo/The Gazette, Jim Slosiarek) |
