What do you think about the Photonics industry? Carles Romani: Photonics industry, what a question? I think Photonics industry is very interesting full of people that know a lot about their specific technology, and I think, that makes it interesting and for somebody like me that...
Currently, additive manufacturing technologies (AM), and in particular Direct Energy Deposition technologies (DED) , which include Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology based on the GMAW process (Gas Metal Arc Welding), are attracting increasing interest from the industry and experiencing very significant growth. Despite reaching a...

Whereas LiDAR was first implemented close...
Monocrom is excited to announce its adhesition to the Mid Infrared Alliance, The Mid IR Alliance is a newly-formed platform that aims to promote the Mid-infrared technologies and the active playeres of this technology at all level of the supply chain, It acts as...
Nowadays, many of our achievements are based on laser technology and it forming our life without peeing present in public. Thanks to this universal tool as well as the countless, enthusiastic and talented scientist and engineers, young and old, many new applications will emerge....
For sixth consecutive year, Monocrom excels in quality with 0% of faulty unitsf, returned to our facilities, for orders supplied to our Scandinavian customers (statistics provided by our local partner, Optonyx) With this remarkable metrics of our Quality Management System, our products are not only...
Only 30 per cent of the global research and development workforce are women. Although women now enter professional institutions in numbers nearly equal to men, they are still substantially less likely to reach the highest echelons of their professions. Gender difference in science is...
The automotive, chemical as well as pharmaceutical industry and not to neglect the medical institutions are demanding compact, easy to use and hermetically sealed plastic parts in high volumes. Due to the availability of high-power diode-based fiber coupled laser sources plastic welding is rapidly...
2020 has been marked by the pandemic of the new Coronavirus COVID-19 that has sown social and economic chaos in every corner of the world. We are grateful and very satisfied to end the year with the entire team healthy and working on...
1 The Laser system In Monocrom we have tackled the challenges of generating high power ultra-short laser pulses by building a CPA laser system that is pumped by several MOPA systems. We used titanium doped sapphire (Ti:Sa) as the active material for both the oscillation and amplification stages. Based on the...
Demand for products made from ultra-high strength steels is increasing. While traditional ‘cold’ sheet metal forming techniques, such as roll forming and stamping, are ideally suited to mild steels, using them for ultra-high strength steels often results in cracking, spring-back or distortion.1 These problems can be...
