Champlin, Minnesota: PRIMA North America, Inc., announced that LASERDYNE SYSTEMS, a world leader in multi-axis laser machining systems, has received multiple orders totaling over 1.6 million dollars from the Pratt & Whitney Division of United Technologies.

Dr. Paolo Cigna, president of PRIMA North America, announced the orders saying they were for the company’s multi-axis laser systems, which will be used for precision, high-speed laser processing of aerospace turbine engine components.

“These orders prove once again a leading customer’s long-term commitment to our precision, multi-axis laser systems and to LASERDYNE’s expertise in developing solutions for difficult aerospace applications,” stated Cigna.

A LASERDYNE customer for over 15 years, Pratt & Whitney uses LASERDYNE laser systems for cutting and drilling small holes in parts such as turbine engines, combustor liners and nozzle guide vanes.  Most of these parts are produced from difficult to process high temperature materials such as Inconel®, Hastelloy®, and super cobalt alloys. The holes are of different sizes, shapes and at varying angles. With the LASERDYNE laser systems, these holes are produced accurately and at rates up to several holes per second.

LASERDYNE products have become the standard in the aerospace industry for turbine engine manufacturing. The company has supplied more than 290 of these systems worldwide to leading aerospace manufacturers and their subcontractors in North America, Europe and Asia.
