Identified Flying Optics

Strippit introduces Sirius, an automation-ready flying optics laser cutting system. It’s designed to process parts at speeds and accelerations to suit the part geometry. It comes in a standard and a Plus model. The standard unit features 3 m by 1.5 m [that's that pesky European kind of measurement] integrated shuttle tables, and table change times of 25 seconds. For more info call 800.828.1527 or go to Strippit’s website.

Tungsten Guide
The Tungsten Electrode Experts at Diamond Ground Products are offering the free guidebook, How to Correctly Grind, Cut & Prepare Tungsten Welding Electrodes at their website. It was created as a general reference for selecting the most appropriate tungsten material for a weld. It emphasizes the importance of a prepared, ground, and cut tungsten electrode. The guide also includes safety issues surrounding the use of Thoriated Tungsten, and alternatives to this common – yet radioactive – tungsten.
