Excimer laser performance and life raised
Operating at 157nm, the fluorine excimer laser offers the shortest commercially available laser wavelength hands-free operation for 30 million pulses for micro-manufacturing and electronics.
With the help of Laser Lines and its Titan FDM machine Janco Design were able to produce, in Polycarbonate, a number of fully functional assemblies in a very short period of time which proved invaluable.
The technology was selected not only because the models needed to be accurate and dimensionally stable but also strong and able to stand up to rigorous field trials.
The Magnum Drive is a novel tool, it has six chambers in a revolving cylinder with the inspiration coming from the traditional revolver handgun.
What makes the Magnum superior to the other screwdrivers on the market is the idea of incorporating 6 screw bits in one handle.
It means an end to bits being lost - and importantly less tools in the toolbox.
The unique mechanism of the Magnum, gives the screwdriver its competitive edge.
The use of the Magnum comes to the test when selecting a screw bit, choosing the desired bit requires a simple turn of the revolver and a push of a slide.
