• IPG Laser Welding Masterclass - 3 Day Roadshow

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of hosting Antuan Sciacca and Tom Waldbauer from IPG Photonics Gmbh & Co. KG for our IPG Masterclass Roadshow at various sites across the UK. The roadshow started in RS Machinery’s Northern Ireland showroom, in Antrim. Some of the team got to sit down and discuss all things Laser Welding with Antuan and Tom. This included trading experiences and knowledge with the team from Germany, where the IPG Laser Welders are manufactured, before giving some visiting customers a hands-on experience with the latest IPG Laser Welder, the LightWELD XR 2000, capable of welding up to 8mm thick materials.
