Fiber Laser Technology is proving that Bigger isn't always Better
|
In industrial manufacturing plants across the nation, one would feel like they are walking into a large metropolitan city with outdated equipment the size of small buildings. The norm seems to be the bigger the system the more productive it is. This might have been true 20 years ago when equipment was so large because that was the newest and most compact technology available. The same was true with computer technology. At one time the computer was the size of a room and had more moving parts than an airplane; today that same computer fits in the palm of your hand, with more advanced abilities. The bigger is better philosophy is just not true today, especially in the industrial laser industry. Most modern manufacturing plants are required to produce more in less time and have less space to do it in. Many manufacturers now understand that technology is improving at exponential rates and there is no need to have large, bulky, costly machines to run their business efficiently.
