BOC's cryogenic solutions for lasers gets new look

New look BOC Cryospeed complements BOC's range of solutions for the laser industry.

Guildford, UK, 15 May 2006 - BOC Industrial will unveil an expanded package of products and services for the laser industry when it launches a new look for its dedicated cryogenic service, BOC Cryospeed at the MACH2006 exhibition in Birmingham.

BOC Industrial is a leading supplier of gases and technical expertise to the UK laser industry with over 30 years experience working with manufacturers across a range of materials including thick or thin plate stainless, mild steels and welding of aluminium alloys.

Through its BOC Cryospeed service BOC gives customers access to an even broader range of high purity laser assist gases - vital for customers needing to reduce downtime, sustain laser life and improve their productivity. The range is backed by secure and reliable supply and storage options, expert technical advice and safety equipment.

Martin Passingham, BOC Industrial market manager said: "The speed of change in the laser industry is such that BOC is continually working with key

manufacturers to help them improve the speed and efficiency of lasers.

"The BOC Cryospeed package for the laser industry has been developed through a combination of discussions with customers about their needs and research and testing by our technical experts using the latest technology at BOC's fabrication technology centre."

"That combination means BOC has a thorough understanding of how different laser applications are used across the fabrication industry and the daily demands made of BOC laser gases and equipment."

Said Passingham: "The breadth of products and services offered by BOC Cryospeed will have real benefit for our laser customers. We know for example, that our ultra high pressure Cryocyl cryogenic tank - developed in the last 12 months - allows larger job shops to handle a multitude of different jobs in a short space of time while maintaining a continuous flow and pressure of laser assist gas."
