match the right laser to the right application. The system is designed with multiple integration options to suit stand-alone operation, full production automation, or low-volume prototype development. The air-cooled, sealed industrial pack- age has been designed for operation in harsh environments and comes with powerful control software with user- friendly interface. The unit complies with IEC13849‐1 category 3 Performance Level d (PL d) d safety circuitry with proper integration. It is equipped with a Marker Motion™ unit with integrated stage controllers for up to four axes. Amada Miyachi America manufactures equipment and systems for resistance welding, laser welding, laser marking, laser cutting, hermetic sealing and hot bar reflow soldering and bonding. The company serves a wide range of markets including medical devices, battery, aerospace, automotive and electronic components. Amada Miyachi America, Inc – USA

The laser is offered as an OEM product with galvo scanning beam delivery and controller or integrated into the LMWS platform, a CDRH Class 1 laser workstation offering a wide range of integration flexibility, depending on processing and facility requirements. The LMF series lasers combine cutting-edge technology with industrial robustness. This versatile series has numerous performance features to

Amada Miyachi America Inc has announced the availability of the LMF70-HP, an addition to its LMF series of lasers. The 70-watt LMF70-HP is suitable for welding small components and thin metals up to 0.25mm (0.01") thick. In addition to welding, the unit is capable of engraving, deep engraving and cutting of metal, plastic welding and general-purpose high speed marking.

Carbide-tipped band saw blades Simonds Saw, a manufacturer of band saw blades and files, has introduced CWT carbide-tipped band saw blades for demanding production cutting operations such as those in steel service centres, foundries and aerospace sawing applications. “Our CWT blades have been producing outstanding results, significantly out- cutting blades used in foundry and aerospace applications,” said Dale Petts, Simonds Saw’s global product manager.

Simonds CWT carbide tipped blades are available in five widths (1¼" x 0.042; 1½" x 0.05; 2" x 0.062; 2 5 / 8 " x 0.062; and 3 1 / 8 " x 0.062), and are shipped in 150-foot coils. Variable tooth pitch (TPI) options include 2-3, 1.9-2.1, 1.4-1.8 and 0.9-1.1 teeth per inch. Blades are furnished with plastic capping to protect teeth against damage in transit and handling. Simonds blades are made to stringent quality standards and are manufactured both in the US in the company’s Fitchburg, Massachusetts, headquarters

CWT blades are suitable for aluminium block, aluminium gates and risers, aluminium automation (Mossner), Inconel and nickel-based alloys. Similar to the ‘California wing tip’ tooth formation used in circular saw blades, CWT blades have been engineered in a three-tooth set pattern with positive rake geometry. This provides a faster, aggressive cutting action and penetration, for increased performance in production sawing applications.

and in Europe by WESPA ® , Simonds’s band saw blade technology division located in Melsungen, Germany. Both factories operate under a single quality system that is ISO 9001:2008 certified.
