What is an Air Compressor and how does it Work?

LauraCompressors
An air compressor uses the kinetic energy of compressed air to power a variety of different applications. It works using power generated by a motor or engine and converts this power into pressurised air. The air is stored in a tank until it is needed, at which point it is released to make use of the energy stored in the tank. Air compressors are a very efficient way of creating and storing potential energy and they have many different uses in industry. The fact that they can store potential energy and generate it again once the storage tank is empty makes them very useful pieces of equipment. Some air compressors...

How Does Laser Cutting Work?

LauraTechnical Computing
To put it simply, laser cutting works by a high intensity beam generated by a laser source being directed on a work piece with the help of mirrors placed at distinct positions. This beam is then concentrated with the help of lens on the small spot on the work piece that is to be cut. The intense laser beam immediately heats up and melts the work piece. At this stage, an assist gas is also applied to cool and protect the focusing lens. Starting with a small hole, a high intensity beam creates a cut either by moving the work piece while the beam is kept still, or by moving...
