  • Publication number: 20090302503
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a coating method based on laser ablation where the distance between the substrate and the target being ablated is exceptionally small. The short distance allows coating the substrate even in industrial scale preferably also under a low-vacuum or even non-vacuum atmosphere. The invention is preferable in conjunction with the optimal coating of all large-size objects or objects with varying shapes.

  • Patent number: 7003866
    Abstract: A method in a sheet metal working center, wherein a sheet secured to mounting member of a moving carriage arrangement is transferred in accordance with a predetermined program substantially in XY orthogonal coordinates in the main plane of the sheet so that machining of the sheet may be carried out by multiple machining units. At least two of the machining units are placed in the sheet metal working center and have separate XY orthogonal coordinates, and directions X of the separate XY orthogonal coordinates of the machines are combined to a common direction X of the sheet metal working center.
