aPrnodc Peossw, Perre Ccoisniotrno l Coherent’s machine design approach emphasizes manufacturing process consistency, precision and reliability. All of our Laser Machining Centers are designed so that each axis incorporates a flat and stable optically read ruler, ensuring zero loss of precision over time. The benefit of a laser comes from its ability to apply consistent energy to a manufacturing process. The laser is a knife that never dulls and puts zero tool load on the part being cut. Everything about our designs contributes to the consistency and control of energy delivery from part to...
