Sarin Launches Device Linking Rough Planning to Laser Sawing Process

(IDEX Online News) - Sarin Technologies has launched the Strategist, a laser sawing planning system that integrates the rough planning and the actual laser-sawing of the stone into a computer controlled and coordinated process.

The Strategist provides the manufacturer’s laser sawing suite with a dual purpose system: an independent setup station on which multiple sawing jobs of multiple diamonds can be prepared offline, thus freeing up valuable laser time, and a computerized planning tool.

The software utilizes the rough stone’s three dimensional structure and the planned locations of the polished stones as generated by the Advisor, together with Galaxy or Solaris derived inclusion mapping data, to generate a safer and higher yield laser sawing plan. 

The integrated system is also able to consider, and avoid as far as possible, sawing perils such as cracks and bubbles. This allows for more intelligent decisions to be made on the Strategist during the laser sawing planning stage and enable transfer of safer and more precise sawing instructions to the Quazer, Sarin said.
