Reducing the “Friction Factor” in Pod Applications

For as long as radar and weapons targeting systems have been used in air, land and sea defense applications, design engineers have used “pods” as a means to protect them. But until recently, sealing these pods meant accepting some tough performance sacrifices.

It Pays to Go Green When Micro Welding Conductive Materials

It Pays to Go Green When Micro Welding Conductive Materials

Micro welding of conductive materials such as copper is difficult, but a green laser (532 nm) offers a useful non-contact joining method, which also happens to be well geared for automatic applications.

Connecting conductive parts to achieve electrical contact is required in almost every industry. The technologies used to make these connections are driven by cost, joint performance, and volume requirements.
