In order to change the world, we should start, unless for changing ourselves and later, with patient and effort, little niches towards beneficial circuit businesses for actors who participate
Cyan Tec Systems, which integrates high-power fiber lasers in large systems for automated laser welding and cutting to design and build a custom laser welding system for the Nuclear AMRC
Cyan Tec Systems (Loughborough, Leicestershire, England), which integrates high-power fiber lasers in large systems for automated laser welding and cutting, has been selected to design and build a custom laser welding system for the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nuclear AMRC; Rotherham, West Yorkshire, England), one of seven High-Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult centers funded by Innovate UK. The Nuclear AMRC will receive the system before the end of 2017. The Nuclear AMRC helps UK manufacturers win work in the civil nuclear sector, and assists them in the development of new technical capabilities and processes. The research facility offers an array of state-of-the-art equipment for machining and fabrication, supported by in-house engineers and researchers, all of which are made available to manufacturers to use in collaborative R&D projects.

Integrated with a six-axis gantry system, the overall cell has the capability of delivering a simultaneous metal inert gas (MIG) weld for deep-penetration hybrid welding with hot- or cold-wire feed. The system includes a large tilt and turn manipulator that can carry components up to 15 tons, and its advanced CNC controller can interpolate all eight axes simultaneously to weld complex seams. With such a high average laser power delivered by fiber optics and a system capable of steering the beam in all directions, laser safety is extremely important. So, the company has developed its own safety solution that comprises an active guarding laser safety enclosure measuring 10 × 7m and 6m high. The safety system has an actively monitored cavity wall with instant shutdown in the event of any break-through of the outer layer. For more information, please visit https://cyan-tec.com.
