29/04/2009: gf laser helps Q-par to build revolutionary particle accelerators
The team at gf laser are pleased to announce participation in another unusual project by providing 5 axis laser cutting services to UK company Q-Par Angus. The complete background to the particle accelerator project can be read by visiting www.q-par.com
The 5 axis laser cutting involved cutting apertures, holes and cut-outs to a number of pre-formed tubes. To undertake this work gf laser had to manufacture a dedicated laser cutting fixture as well as well as the offline programming of the laser cutting paths.
One reason gf laser were chosen to participate in this project was that there was an element of CNC machining involved in the overall process. For this gf laser utilised the skills of their sister company mbmachining, alloweing Q-Par to deal with a single point of contact and removing the costs associated with dealing with multiple suppliers.
