The well-established field of laser marking continues to break new ground with expanding business opportunities in automotive, oil and gas, medical and other industries.

Constant refinement of medical machining from tooling design to finished product requires not only the ability to handle a broad range of plastic and metal materials but also to achieve predictable results—particularly in the face of strict regulations.

Lasers — well-established tools in the manufacture of medical devices—are continuing to break ground by producing smaller, more precise and more functional parts thanks to faster pulse speeds at lower cost, new applications and the marriage of laser processing to Swiss-style machining.

Today, laser technology in manufacturing touches all of our lives on a daily basis; lasers cut air bag material and weld air bag detonators for our in-car safety; lasers weld the batteries in many of our mobile devices; lasers drill aero-engine components for planes; lasers cut the glass for our smart phones and tablets screens; lasers weld the drivetrains in our cars and trucks; lasers cut medical stents that increase and enhance our lives, just to name a few.

From a new entrant into the equipment mix to an array of relatively recent but underutilized functions from top suppliers, Swiss machines are poised to take on more of the manufacturing load in 2022.

Selecting the right tool for threading aluminum begins with considering the key properties of aluminum; the pros and cons associated with the main choices of tools, cut taps or thread mills; and advances in tooling technology including coatings and coolant-through capability.

Nikel Precision Group also implemented solutions that optimize tool performance to improve quality, as well as production intelligence that provides real-time insights into factory performance.

Manufacturing technology has a rich history in this country, one that we can all be proud of.

The pandemic has accelerated the visibility and viability of hybrid workforce solutions—but experts say proceed carefully
