Tarkin

Tarkin is the new large-format laser cutter in the space. It's a custom-built laser cutter based on a Coherent E-225i RF laser in a Pacific Coast Lasers SJ-1610 chassis with a Ruida RDC6445G controller. It features 225W of power on a 63"x39" cutting bed and air assist.

It's quite large and capable -- we don't think there's anything like it in central Texas. We'll add a table of cutting capacities when we start shaking down the laser.

Tarkin is expected to be online by Nov 1, 2021. A new class will be required for users. The Ruida controller will utilize a workflow new for Asmbly lasers.
