Beam distortion profiles are studied for scanning devices that have a single mirror with two rotational degrees of freedom (DOF), also named tip/tilt scanners. The case of a fast steering scanner used for high power material processing applications is stud ...
A complete set-up for local annealing of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) is proposed. Such alloys, when plastically deformed at a given low temperature, have the ability to recover a previously memorised shape simply by heating up to a higher temperature. They f ...
In order to improve the reliability of micro-spot welding of metal parts in production such as e.g. in electron guns for TV picture tubes, real-time information about the evolution of the welding process should be available to allow on-line modification of ...
In this paper, we present the design aspects of a compact tip/tilt, fast steering laser scanner. The scanner is composed of one single mirror with a large active area, driven by linear electromagnetic actuators. The suspension of the mirror is based on a c ...
The common configuration for deflecting laser beams in two dimensions is based on two single-axis galvanometric scanners placed perpendicular to each other. Over recent years, these fast scanners have proved to be both very reliable and very accurate. They ...
