We’ve made a big update to one of our Automated Systems!
One of our favorite customization options is the serializer for our Advanced Lathe. This modification has long been used to engrave serial numbers on delicate ring laser gyro lenses without chipping or masking.
For our most recent serializers, our engineers have elevated the process by completely redesigning the powdergate.
To see how they did it, and determine if your project could benefit from the serializer, check out the video below!

Etching Channels to Create an Air Bearing or a Hydrodynamic Seal
To improve reliability and fuel efficiency specifically on jet engines, shallow channels are incorporated into the design in which air flows rather than traditional lubricants. The technical challenge is how to create these channels. Continue reading
How Far Should I Hold the Nozzle from the Targeted Part?
Before I dive further into the variables that impact this decision, let’s define “spot size.” Continue reading →
