Donation leads to win-win collaboration in Laser 焊接程序

安诺卡技术学院 is one of the first colleges to offer a 焊接程序 with a focus on laser welding and professionals dedicated to teaching students real-world practices that can be applied widely across the industry. The large presence of high-tech manufacturing in the metro area and other parts of the country provides students with significant future opportunities.

Prima Power Laserdyne recently presented a Zeiss high resolution microscope to Anoka Tech as the college continues to expand its 机器人 and Laser 焊接程序.

A 40-year leader in developing laser cutting, 钻孔和焊接技术, Prima Power Laserdyne is committed to supporting the training of the manufacturing leaders of tomorrow.

“Having technicians and operators knowledgeable in laser welding is critically important for US manufacturing,克里斯·拉斯穆森说, applications engineering manager for Prima Power Laserdyne. “Being able to share our 40+ years of laser processing and laser welding with 安诺卡技术学院’s Laser 焊接程序 is a benefit to the student who graduates with the fundamentals in laser welding and to the manufacturer who hires the student. The manufacturer will be getting someone with up-to-date knowledge that can be applied to in-house processes. With the students having a fundamental understanding of laser welding and knowing how it can be used in potential applications, 这对每个人来说都是双赢的.”

Using the Zeiss microscope with a wide zoom range and high resolution enables 安诺卡技术焊接讲师s and students to enhance welding skills and understand welding with knowledge at the metallurgical level. Training and knowledge at this metallurgical level allows students to produce high quality welds consistently and contribute to future employer’s manufacturing capabilities.

“We have an ideal collaboration with industry partners like Prima Power Laserdyne,杰·格丁说, 安诺卡技术焊接讲师. With its close proximity to the college, the opportunities for future collaborations to provide career training by sharing knowledge and cutting-edge technology are expected to evolve as fast as the technology itself.


安诺卡技术学院 exists to serve students and the surrounding community with the finest career and technical education in Minnesota. This mission would not be possible without mutually beneficial partnerships throughout multiple sectors in the community. This story is an excerpt from the article “Prosperity in Partnerships” in the 安诺卡技术学院 Summer Community 全球十大博彩公司letter, Issue 3 highlighting a few of the college’s partners.
