Prima Power Laserdyne contributes equipment to Anoka Technical College

Prima Power Laserdyne, Brooklyn Park, Minn., a manufacturer of laser cutting, welding, and drilling systems, has presented a Zeiss high-resolution, wide-zoom-range microscope to the welding program leaders of Anoka Technical College as the college expands its robotic and laser welding program.

The ability to analyze welds is key to understanding and correcting porosity, cracking, and other adverse effects that can occur in the weld and the heat-affected zone. The microscope enables students to examine internal weld cross sections closely for potential problems and thereby correct the welding process.
