Title: Gregory W Schuh: Innovator in Lapping Technology and Laser Cutting Systems
Introduction
Gregory W Schuh is a notable inventor based in Camarillo, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the fields of lapping technology and laser cutting systems. With a total of 3 patents to his name, Schuh continues to push the boundaries of innovation in his industry.
Latest Patents
One of Schuh's latest patents is the Pressure-adjusting lapping element. This invention includes a structural component of a carrier assembly in a lapping head. The lapping element features actuator nodes that allow for fine-tuning of the lapping force applied to a workpiece. An actuator assembly is directly attached to the lapping element, manipulating the individual actuator nodes. Additionally, the lapping element incorporates a whippletree structure, providing a desired degree of flexibility to respond to force inputs at the actuator nodes.
Another significant patent is the Split laser scribe. This dual-beam laser cutting system utilizes laser beam polarization to produce two identical laser beams. These beams are spaced appropriately to simultaneously cut a material, thereby increasing the throughput of the laser cutting system compared to a single-laser cutting system. The system employs a beam expander, two half-wave plates, a polarizing beam splitter, a mirror, and two lenses to generate two identical laser beams from a single laser source. The identical beams are tuned to have the same power, cross-sectional diameter, and polarization direction.
