    The biospeckle laser tool library, or BSLTL, is a free project to help researchers to work with dynamic speckle. The library is based on Mcode to GNU Octave and Matlab and in the free ebook A Practical Guide to Biospeckle Laser Analysis: Theory and Software.

  3. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

    Diagram of a laser cutter Laser cutting process on a sheet of steel CAD (top) and stainless steel laser-cut part (bottom) Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is now used by schools, small businesses, architecture, and ...

    The machine tool may not detect the collision or the slipping, so for example the tool should now be at 210mm on the X-axis, but is, in fact, at 32mm where it hit the obstruction and kept slipping. All of the next tool motions will be off by −178mm on the X-axis, and all future motions are now invalid, which may result in further collisions ...

  5. Gravity laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_laser

    A gravity laser, also sometimes referred to as a Gaser, Graser, or Glaser, is a hypothetical device for stimulated emission of coherent gravitational radiation or gravitons, much in the same way that a standard laser produces coherent electromagnetic radiation.

  6. G-code - Wikipedia

    It is used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools, as well as for 3D-printer slicer applications. G-code has many variants. G-code has many variants. G-code instructions are provided to a machine controller (industrial computer) that tells the motors where to move, how fast to move, and what path to follow.

  7. Laser engraving - Wikipedia

    Laser marking on stainless steel A laser engraving machine A laser engraver. A laser engraving machine consists of three main parts: a laser, a controller, and a surface. [2] The laser is a drawing tool: the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface.

  8. History of numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_numerical_control

    The automation of machine tool control began in the 19th century with cams that "played" a machine tool in the way that cams had long been playing musical boxes or operating elaborate cuckoo clocks. Thomas Blanchard built his gun-copying lathes (1820s–30s), and the work of people such as Christopher Miner Spencer developed the turret lathe ...

    But an unfocused laser still causes a force pointing away from the laser. Ray optics explanation (focused laser). In addition to keeping the bead in the center of the laser, a focused laser also keeps the bead in a fixed axial position: The momentum change of the focused rays causes a force towards the laser focus, both when the bead is in ...
