We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Laser Profiler",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CNC laser profiler speeds cutting by 60% from
Trumpf, which we summarised at the time by saying "A CNC laser profiler installed at a subcontract sheet metal working company has cut profiling times by 60% and helpd the firm diversify into other markets".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CNC laser profiler builder grows orders, sales from
Trumpf: "Manufacturer of CNC punch presses, laser cutting and profiling systems, press brakes and many other systems has recorded double-digit growth in 2006/7 sales and orders received".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Bystronic UK
- take a look at High speed laser profiler to expand business
which says: "Confident of continuing success in manufacturing industries throughout the south-west UK a subcontractor is investing in a high speed 4.4kW laser profiling system to boost the business".
Take a look also at the news release from BLM-Group UK, Large CNC tube laser profiler to be installed,
as well as CNC laser profiler locates on pre-punched holes from LVD (UK),
and CNC laser cutter/profiler runs unattended from Prima Industrie UK.
