YEREVAN, OCTOBER 30, NOYAN TAPAN. A group of scientists of the
Optics Department of Yerevan State University (YSU) developed an
auto-focusing system for laser cutting and engraving automated control
systems. Artur Galstyan, a scientist of the department laboratory,
stated this. According to him, the auto-focusing system will solve
the problem of surface cutting without leaving burning marks. It can
be used during development of material of organic origin, as well
as metal surfaces with some initial curvature. Besides, the system
can be used in machine-tools with laser lamps which were produced in
the Soviet time and are not produced now. Their current price is 150
dollars, whereas only six months ago they cost 100 dollars. It was
noted that the cost price of the laser focusing system developed at
YSU makes 600 dollars and it can be sold at 1,000 dollars, while new
foreign machine-tools with an auto-focusing system cost as much as
50-150 thousand dollars. A. Galstian said that the Optics Department
of Yerevan State University has developed the laser auto-focusing
system in cooperation with Rubin Ltech CJSC (Armenia).
