Laser Hole Drilling
Originally Broadcast: December 13, 2007
Overview:
Since the invention of the ruby laser in 1960 by Maiman, precision laser drilled holes have been employed in applications ranging from cooling of gas turbine engine components to more recently Tylenol Extra Strength Rapid Release Gels. Advanced military gas turbine engines now require well over 1 million cooling holes per engine; the majority of which are drilled using lasers. Lasers used for ...
Laser Safety
Originally Broadcast: July 31, 2007
Overview:
Lasers are used in a wide variety of industrial manufacturing operations such as cutting, drilling, welding, marking, and
heat treating of metals and other materials. However, as the usage of lasers increases so does the risk of exposure to
hazardous laser radiation. This webcast gives industrial laser users an overview of industrial laser safety. Topics covered include laser accidents, beam ...
