Wigan and Leigh College Piranha PJH1060 Laser Machine Install

Radecal success rates in UK’s Colleges!
Wigan & Leigh College has been providing high-quality education and training for over 150 years.  Bustling with life and atmosphere, the College's School for the Arts Centre is the perfect environment to unleash a students’ designer edge!  Courses at the college include; Art and Design, Fashion and Clothing, Graphic Design and 3D Design with Interior Design.
Dave Gore, the head technician at Wigan and Leigh is a new Radecal customer and is extremely pleased with the product and service we provided. The college purchased a brand new Piranha H-series 1060 laser cutter engraving machine, which has a working area of 1000x600mm and an 80w laser tube.    
The purchase of the 1060 laser was a necessity for the college, to keep up with the services provided by other education facilities and to give students the best knowledge and skills to enable them to adapt when transitioning into University and the industry workplace.  We supplied fully training to staff members and also fully installed the machine.

“The laser has been great for the students’ curriculum as it has provided work related learning, meeting industry standards and can integrate into several course topics,” Dave Gore.
  
Students are now able to produce work ranging from 3D models, packaging graphics, print design work and also interior model making with intricate designs.  It has been a great addition to the college as the laser machine has reduced production times drastically, completing several jobs at once.  The laser machines can cut, etch and engrave within the same job saving time, with engraving speeds of 0-900mm/s and cutting speeds of 0-400mm/s which is highly efficient, especially when the laser is in high demand. 
  
Dave chose the 1060 laser machine from Radecal due to the”great, informative service” and the size of the machine.  The 1060 was the perfect size for the workshop with having a motorised table and 1000x600mm to work with, providing versatility for the curriculum now and in the future.

We also provided extra training to teachers at the college to increase product knowledge so they are able to enrich student’s lesson content.
 “Radecal are always available for any questions we have, they’ve provided a tip-top service which has been highly informative and useful for the staff, allowing us to provide effective course content to our students.  We are more than happy to recommend Radecal as they have been an amazing help to us” Dave Gore.
Our machines are suitable for Higher and Further Education and for Bett 2014.  Our bigger stand will allow us to show more of our machines and what they can do. On show this year will be the Piranha CNC Router which has a working area of 1300x1300mm, one of which we have recently installed at Oxford University.  Two laser machines, the bench top PJB6050 and the H-Series PJH1060 will be on demonstration.  We are also excited to announce the launch our new Piranha 900x600mm engraver at the show!
Why not take the opportunity to experience our brand new demonstration facility in Aylesbury.  Radecal South is just a 40 minute train or an hour car journey outside of London!  Book a full demonstration of all our machines during Bett 2014 and receive all the information from the Radecal team.
