🐾 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿-𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀! Joining Technologies and our sister company JT Automation recently dropped off more than $1,200 in pet supply donations to the CT Humane Society!

During our visit, Kayleigh Shettleworth gave us a tour of the facility and shared information about the amazing programs CHS has to support animals in our community. At any given time, an average of 165 companion animals are being cared for, including pets available for adoption, under direct medical care, and in foster homes. In addition to shelter and adoption, CHS keeps pets and families together through programs such as its Pet Food Pantry, veterinary resources for owned pets, and humane education initiatives.

We also learned about their "PupScouts" foster field trips program, launched earlier this year, which gives community members the opportunity to take pets out for an afternoon or day. These experiences provide enrichment while helping CHS learn more about each pet’s personality and behavior.

We’re proud to support the Connecticut Humane Society and grateful to everyone who contributed to our pet supply drive!

When wear is expensive, laser cladding can be a game changer. 🔥

Laser hardfacing applies a harder, tougher material to a base metal to improve wear performance and extend service life.

A thick layer (3 mm or 1/8 in.) of coating is applied to the surface of equipment to provide a corrosion – and erosion – resistant surface.

The result? Less waste. Longer-lasting components. More value from the parts you already have.

🩺 Surgeons are welding retinas back on. 👀

Yes, you read that correctly.

Resistance welding is nearly 150 years old. It's also being used to reattach retinas.

This article from the American Welding Digest looks at high-frequency welding for intestinal seams, with reported performance exceeding staples, and no foreign material left in the body.

Arteries, retinas, tendons, severed nerves, all with the potential of being repaired using the same process Elihu Thomson patented in the 1800s.

Dive into the latest insights, news, and trends in the welding industry with the Welding Digest from the American Welding Society.

What does electron beam welding actually look like? 👀

Electron Beam Welding (EBW) is one of the more difficult manufacturing processes to capture on video because the actual weld takes place inside a sealed chamber.

In this video, you’ll see the process from start to finish:

🔹 The operator loads the test sample into specialized tooling designed to hold the part securely and prevent movement during welding.

🔹 The tooling and part are loaded into the EB chamber, and the door is secured.

🔹 From the computer station, the operator starts the weld. On screen, you can see the programmed weld path as the beam moves along the part.

🔹 Once the weld is complete, the operator removes the tooling from the chamber and then opens the tooling to see the finished sample.

It may look simple from the outside, but there’s a lot happening behind that chamber door.

⚡ Speed up! Watch this GTAW weld in fast-forward.

The process starts by loading and tack welding a porous metal component to a solid one before completing the full weld. Filters like this are often used to diffuse air into products like chip bags.
