3-Axis Beam Control Revolutionizes Laser
Marking
The new KEYENCE MD-V9900 YVO4 Laser provides distortion-free marking at
production line speeds on stepped and inclined surfaces, cylinders and
spheres. Objects that cause problems for conventional markers are easily
handled by the world's first laser marker to incorporate simultaneous
3-axis X, Y and Z beam control, a 42mm variable focal length, variable
size beam spot and a huge 300 x 300mm marking area. No indexing
mechanisms required to move the marker or products. Details and specs.

Circle of Life: Nearly 100-year-old GE Motor
Powers Carousel Again
|
After almost a century of operation, inactivity, weather and wear, a
1909 motor from GE Motors is expected to come back to life in the coming
months in Nederland, Colorado, a community located 3,000 feet above and
17 miles west of Boulder, Colorado. Originally the main power source of
a 1910 carousel, the GE Motor will reprise its significant, yet
behind--the--scenes role in bringing sheer joy and exhilaration to
children and families who will ride the recently restored carousel in
the months and years ahead. Click here to read more.
