LXQ Fiber laser Marker

In the aftermath of COVID-19, our capacity to provide support regardless of physical barriers will be ever more important

After 2 years of development, Laserax releases the LXQ Fiber Laser Marker series that redefines how easy and accessible laser system integration can be. The laser’s features are not only aimed at reducing integration time and cost, but also at facilitating collaboration between system integrators and laser experts—a key factor for quick and easy laser integration.

To break the barriers of laser expertise, the system has a remote connection capability that can grant control of the system to a Laserax expert or partner anywhere in the world. Relying on a secure cloud VPN, this allows laser experts to better support integrators and end-users through remote services such as installation, training, after-sales support and live demos.

“In the aftermath of COVID-19, our capacity to provide support regardless of physical barriers will be ever more important,” says Xavier Godmaire, President. “We will be able to do this through remote support and with a local presence ensured by system integrators and partners. The LXQ Series will foster close partnerships between Laserax and integrators. It will make their lives easier by bringing our laser expertise to them, regardless of where they are.”

Several features were developed to make system integration straightforward:


  • A web-based HMI can be displayed in any web browser for a quick control of the laser without programming.
  • The system’s interfacing can be done using the most standard industrial protocols.
  • Fully configured peripherals are ready to be used. Among them, a Cognex camera for barcode validation, an air-knife for lens protection, and 3D-Autofocus sensors for automatic adjustments.

Apart from laser marking, LXQ fiber lasers can treat any metal surface with laser cleaning, laser texturing, and laser hardening. This is a game changer for system integrators who no longer need to go to one supplier for laser marking, and another one for laser cleaning. They can integrate the same laser regardless of the application.

ABOUT LASERAX

Founded in 2010 by two laser physicists, Laserax provides manufacturing industries with cutting edge laser technology. Their laser solutions include OEM systems and engineered solutions for marking, cleaning, texturing, and hardening applications. With local partners all over the world, their global presence is rapidly growing.

ProTek Devices’ Intros Hybrid Semiconductor for AC Power Circuit Protection


ProTek Devices' DFN-2-KW Package for TVS

ProTek Devices’ DFN-2-KW Package for TVS

The PHYTVSxxxV3 series is designed to protect industrial and consumer applications where a reliable overvoltage solution with lower clamping voltage is required.

ProTek Devices has introduced a new patent-pending series of hybrid semiconductor components for AC power supply circuit protection in consumer and industrial applications like home appliances, industrial equipment automation controls, instrumentation, and SMART meters. The new semiconductor technology is an ideal replacement for surface mount metal oxide varistor (MOV) devices.

The PHYTVSxxxV3 series is designed to protect industrial and consumer applications where a reliable overvoltage solution with lower clamping voltage is required. Compared with a MOV, ProTek Devices’ new series of components offer a more robust product in a small form factor. It does not present a wear-out mechanism common with MOVs. The use of semiconductor technology significantly extends its operation lifetime.

The new PHYTVSxxxV3 series are compatible with IEC industry standards 61000-4-2 (ESD): level 4 air ±15kV, contact ±8kV; with 61000-4-4 (EFT): 40A; and with 61000-4-5 (surge): L-L class 2, 250Apk, 8/20 micro seconds, 500V with Req = 2 Ohms. It provides bidirectional operation for 50/60/400Hz AC lines. They are also RoHS and REACH compliant.

The series consists of three devices. The PHYTVS125V3 has a typical operating voltage of 125V, the PHYTVS250V3 has a typical operating voltage of 250V, and the PHYTVS277V3 has a typical operating voltage of 277V.

Mechanical, Packaging and Availability Information

ProTek Devices’ PHYTVSxxxV3 series is provided in a low profile and space-saving molded DFN-2-KW package. It has a form factor compatible with SMT 3225 and an approximate weight of just 2.5 grams. Other mechanical and packaging characteristics include lead-free tin matte plating that is available for SMT reflow soldering. The solder reflow temperature is 260-270 degrees Celsius, 10 seconds. Operating and storage temperatures are -55 to 125 degrees Celsius. And, the flammability rating is UL 94V-0.

This series of hybrid semiconductor TVS components is provided on 12mm tape and reel, per EIA Standard 481, in quantities starting at 2,500 units. Pricing information and purchasing details can be obtained by contacting any authorized worldwide distributor, representative, or directly with ProTek Devices. These sales sources are available throughout North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and more. Full contact information for all regions can be found at the company website.

Drone Spray Fast Architecture by MuDD Architects Finalist in the Fast Company World Changing Awards 2020


MuDD Architects green roof and vertical gardens

Building with raw local materials and drones will create a revolution in the construction industry and offer better housing for everyone

MuDD Architects offers new ways of building with natural local materials and drones. It allows to build in a matter of days large scale sustainable constructions.

The drone spray fast architecture consists of using drones to spray earthen mortars onto light fromworks to result in vaulted structures or freeform large scale facades in both city centers and remote areas.

Recently MuDD has been refurbishing a derelict facade in Brussels city center while providing for the city some new murals using giant fabric stencils achieved with the drone spray in hours. In addition MuDD will install in Automn 2020 in Lille France the first large scale vertical garden using 3d knitting textile and drone spraying of precise water and nutrients. The advantage of using MuDD’s 3d knittng technology for vertical gardens is that it can be installed in high to access areas such as highway bridges columns or large scale towers.

The drone spray technology offers a new kind of shotcrete allowing freeform and remote constructions to be eased hence more affordable. The technique itself engenders new forms of architecture and highlights earthen raw mortars to be used in very contemporary architectural projects in combination to living plants facades.

One of MuDD stenght lies in the highly multidisciplinary team involved in all their projects, RCtake off, Louvain and Centrale Lille university for the drone development, Euromair for the pump machines and the best engineering firms in the world including AKT II Summum Engineering and Witteveen+ Bos Dubai branch.

Within 24 Hours, Ex-Samsung Engineers’ Innovative Handheld Vacuum Becomes One of the Top Kickstarter Campaigns


News Image

We’re ecstatic to bring Montanc to market. Cleaning should be easy and hassle-free, and we’ve worked tirelessly over the past years to create and launch a vacuum that works seamlessly on any floor or surface.

Montanc, the cordless handheld vacuum with unparalleled suction power, is building attention after reaching its Kickstarter funding goal in just under three hours. The campaign is on track to becoming a six-figure campaign, which would put it in the top 1 percent of all campaigns launched on Kickstarter.
