YAG Trimmer & Marker
Designed for Quantrad
Precision Research contracted to design a new Laser Systems including automatic custom parts handling modules.
The project was started from zero and the first unit was operational in 4 1/2 months.
Quantrad had been producing laser system for several years. These systems were always a series of separate modules without any cohesive styling. Precision Research was retained as a consultant to the client, providing designs for automatic handling equipment to be integrated with these laser system for many diverse applications.
Precision Research proposed a concept to re-design the laser system into one well styled unit to appeal to a larger market, The proposal included preliminary design sketches and detailed cost projections. The proposed design would provide the client with a true proprietary product and also create a system that would be far more economical to produce in moderate volume.
The client approved the concept. Precision Research then designed, developed and managed the production of the entire system in as part of a contract sold to a major customer. Since the contract had a specific delivery date, the complete design, engineering and production of the first unit was completed in 4 1/2 months. This included a custom automated rotary indexing system for marking of memory disks.
The result: The Quantrad Laser, the "Blazer" was the world leading YAG system for several years.
