NiTi shape memory alloys are considered to be difficult to machine. Dimensional accuracy can hardly be met especially in micro-machining. Being a non-contact tool and therefore independent from machining forces, the laser ...

A double-scan-head was developed combining two pairs of galvo-mirrors into one device. One pair controls the laser beam's position, while the other in this setup is used for a pyrometer. Thus, a pyrometer's optical path ...
