Selective laser sintering and laser melting are processes which can be used with a high-powered laser to form 3D objects from metal powders, such as titanium, aluminium, stainless steel and others. Ecotile help Paxton take access control to the next level Paxton are one of the European market leaders in electronic access control. They have achieved this through 30 years of innovation; creating simple yet intelligent products to provide reliable security to small and medium sized buildings. Their USP in this competitive market is the exceptional level of support and service they offer to their customers 6 days a week 52 weeks a year so when they needed an ESD floor at their manufacturing facility in Eastbourne they naturally chose Ecotile interlocking floor tiles. The AM process requires an inert atmosphere to be used within the laser forming chamber. The Rapidox 2100 oxygen gas analyser has proven to be a reliable instrument for providing the low ppm analysis required for such an application. Paxton’s paramount criterion was flexibility as they are growing so fast that they need to be able to change their production layout to accommodate new lines on a regular basis. Of the options suggested Ecotile was the only ESD flooring that met this objective. www.cambridge-sensotec.co.uk Tel: [phone] Speed marries quality with Kemppi mechanised MIG systems Pain relief for your welding documentation process.. Kemppi new A3 and A5 MIG Systems offer welding mechanisation equipment for straight line OR orbital MIG/MAG welding applications. Kemppi has released the latest version of their welding documentation software solution that streamlines and relieves the pain points of the welding documentation process. The A3 MIG System is an excellent, durable and simple straight rail solution. Powered from a reachable battery, the A3 torch carriage is an ideal and low cost solution to mechanise longitudinal welding and cutting process. The A5 MIG Systems offer integrated welding carriage solutions for either straight rail or orbital MIG welding, incorporating a weaving unit, remote control, plus either straight rail or guide ring sets for orbital MIG welding.

Everything from welding procedures, personnel qualifications, prolongations, NDT and welding quality records, must be managed in compliance with the latest standards and clients requirements. No one can escape the process, but there are ways to make it less exhausting and much more accurate. Standard documentation tools are not integrated, can increase project costs and cause unnecessary delays in project delivery. Kemppi welding management solution resolves all of these issues by offering an integrated software solution, streamlining the welding documentation process, and reaching significant benefits and production improvements.
