How to Use CAD Files to Laser Mark Your Products in 3D
Report shows how CAD files and KEYENCE Marking Builder software can be used for 3-dimensional laser marking. Load .STI CAD files into the software and engrave 3D logos, barcodes, ID codes and more on sloped and uneven surfaces at line speeds...not possible with conventional markers/software. The MD-V9900 YVO4 Laser Marker's simultaneous 3-axis beam control, 42mm variable focal length, and variable beam spot size handle it all...throughout a large 300mm2 area.

 Getting the U.S. Back on Track
In the early 1860s, Abraham Lincoln championed the transcontinental railroad, which spurred rapid development in the agricultural, mining and manufacturing sectors. One hundred years later, Dwight Eisenhower's interstate highway system paved the way for explosive growth in the automotive and trucking industries, not to mention the fast-food business and other spin-offs, such as suburban shopping malls.
Today, after years of talk and no action, the Obama administration needs to show that same courage and foresight with respect to high-speed rail.

Straight Talk from Fishman
Why is the LDS9000 AirFree™ dispensing system rapidly gaining a reputation as the ultimate process control system?
Intelligence.
The LDS9000 knows the size of the syringe barrel, volume, rate, and snuff back, and these numeric values are entered directly in the system. No guess work or playing with knobs. What's more, if you program an LDS9000 in the USA and then have a colleague in China enter the program in an LDS9000 there, Fishman guarantees the performance will be exactly the same! Check out the FULL STORY.
