Top 4 Uses of Lasers
Posted by Clare McGarrey on June 18, 2024
Did you ever wonder where the word, “laser” came from? You haven’t? Me either, until now. In my research I found that the word laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. I would not have even come close to guessing that. The first laser was built in 1960 at Howard Hughes’ facility in California, where • Read More >>

What is Laser Wire Marking?
Posted by John Ashour on February 15, 2016
Every wire on an aircraft must have its own unique identification number. The most common method to put this identifier on a wire is by laser wire marking. Laser wire marking is a method to place a permanent mark on a wire using a laser. Companies such as Spectrum Technologies and Tri-Star Technologies have designed • Read More >>
