Other Added - Understanding Laser Marking and Laser Etching Systems
Most Financial analysts (Buy and Sell Side) are likely aware of the inquiry from the SEC into your company. Your Investor Relations organization has to be:a) Proactive about communicating b) Forthright with what they know and dont know c) Resist speculating the outcomes and possible causality d) Be clear about timelines and milestones e) Be honest about impact to employee morale, customer momentum and partner/supplier concerns.Address these questions below in a clear, concise manner and you will have a better crisis handling experience:1. Will the restatement have a material impact on your previous years earnings, revenues and cash flow, balance sheet, etc.?2. What is the extent of the options backdating? How many ins
Typically the laser marking or laser etching fields created range in size from 65mm x 65mm [2.5 x 2.5] at the smallest size to 356mm x 356mm [14.0 x14.0] square at the largest. The next consi
Greetings to all!Well its easy to see that in our day and age, money is just as important as Oxygen! A Bold statement you may ask, but lets face it Life without Oxygen = No Quality of Life. Life without money = Not very much quality of life. Everything we do these days is harbored by the size of our wallet and bank balance.Seeing the world, Trying new sports, buying the home we deserve and everything else in between requires the universal communicator MONEY!To be honest I have a Love Hate relationship with money, I hate it because it can be very difficult to acquire it! but I love it because it allows you to broaden your horizons in terms of physical and material gains! For example if you wanted to see Elephants in the wild, living in there own
The mark is extremely durable, permanent and in most cases cannot be removed without destroying the product itself, this is true for laser marking, laser etching, or laser annealing.
The laser marking process is accurate, 100% repeatable, fast, with very clear sharp results.
The laser mark or laser etch can quickly and easily be changed without any machine change over, and, without replacing any tools. The changing of a laser marking or laser etch is a simple drag and click computer operation.
The laser requires no consumables and no additional purchases of added materials or supplies. Therefore the operating and maintenance costs of owning and running the laser marking or laser etching system are virtually non existent.
Laser Basics
The word laser is an acronym for light amplification by simulated emission of radiation. The laser beam is formed in a sealed tube with an electrode set, laser gas, and electrical discharge. The beam is emitted into a telescope which expands the laser beam from a size of approximately 2mm as the beam exits the laser tube up to 7mm to 14 mm for most laser marking or laser etching operations. The expanded beam is directed into a laser head containing two mirrors located on high speed galvo motors. The laser beam is directed off the mirrors though a single element flat field lens to the product being laser marked or etched.

For almost three years, JR Andersen, CEO of mid-size software company Andersen High Tech (AHT), and his board have been uneasy. Business growth has been OK at eight percent but the market has been growing at a 15 percent annual rate. With almost half the growth from price increases, unit growth for the main product line has been less than five percent. Fortunately, margins have been expanding nicely along with management bonuses, so things arent too bad.Or are they?With business growth rates well below the market, AHT is losing customers and hence market share. At a minimum, this means lost opportunities.Competitors are gaining enough critical mass to develop the next product faster or better. AHTs biggest competitor has won three bids with

When there is such an enormous choice of ways to make money at home, it seems strange that so many people fail when they try to start their own home business. Do they all choose the wrong business for them or is there something inherently wrong with the idea of earning money working from home? The statistics produced in regard to home businesses say that 90% will come to an end within the first five years. Ninety percent is a frighteningly high failure rate. If we assume the statistics are correct, should we let them deter us from working from home?Some people quote a failure rate of 95% or 98% for Internet based businesses but, for now, let's assume the failure rate is at the same 90% level for any home business (online or offline). One thing that the f

While most companies have specific policies and a printed procedure manual written up for employees to follow, your cleaning business may have started on a part-time basis with you doing everything. Most likely, nothing was put in writing. With many different tasks pulling you in a thousand directions, putting your procedures down into writing has most likely not made it to the top of your "to do" list. But what happens when you want to go on a vacation? Or if you become sick or injured? Having a written policy and procedures manual for your cleaning business means your business can keep running if you do become sick or injured or if you decide to take some much needed time off.So how do you go about writing down the procedures you do to keep your busines

In a previous installment of medical billing software, we covered the many nightmares that a programmer has to go through to get that medical billing software on the market. In this article, we're going to reveal what the poor QA tester has to go through when getting the module fixes from the programmer. In the world of major headaches, this ranks up there with the worst of them.The QA tester basically takes what the programmer does and makes sure it works the way it is supposed to work. But that's not where it ends. The QA tester, in smaller companies, also has to write up the documentation to show the end user how the software is supposed to be used. Sometimes just one wrong instruction can mean the difference between zero support calls for the softwar
Typically the laser marking or laser etching fields created range in size from 65mm x 65mm [2.5 x 2.5] at the smallest size to 356mm x 356mm [14.0 x14.0] square at the largest. The next consideration is the laser beam spot size. This is the size of the focused laser light energy at the laser marking or laser etching point on the product and can vary from approximately 200 micron [micrometers] or .0078 at the smallest to approximately 540 microns or .021 for Co2 lasers. The laser beam spot size ranges from approximately 20 microns or .0007 at the smallest to approximately 70 microns or .0027 at the largest for Nd:YAG lasers. These small spot sizes and highly focused laser light energy create the detailed, clear, permanent marking that is typical of the laser marking or laser etching process.
Controlling Lasers and Laser Marking Options
Laser markers and laser etchers are controlled via software. Several variables need to be controlled:
1. Laser power as measured in watts
2. Frequency, meaning the pulse frequency of the laser beam
3. Inches per second, meaning the speed that the beam steering mirrors are moving
Determining the correct setting for the laser is the single most important and critical element in the success or failure of the laser marking process. Once the proper settings have been determined and demonstrated a 100% repeatable laser mark can be achieved.
Laser controller software is accessed via a PCI interface card. This sends the digital signals of the computer based marking or etching files to the motors and directs the laser beam to the pro
