CTF Photonics - CTF-3 Laser Aiming Module

So far it seems very well-constructed. The CNC billet 6065 aluminum body feels solid, the rail clamp is well thought-out, the and the battery caps don't impede button activation as much as I thought they would.

However, getting the bad out of the way first, the adjustment turrets, contrary to my original assumption, do not feature 'clicky' MOA increments - they seem like they've got an internal o-ring somewhere to tension the screws for zeroing adjustment and the marks on the vertical turret are just there as witness marks more than actual adjustments.

Additionally the screws are small and seem easy to strip for how much pressure's needed to turn them. But for they do seem like they'll hold zero no issue once adjusted, for what it's worth.

The unit is incredibly low-profile as you would expect - an IR-only laser diode sits center over bore with what amounts to two independent 300-style scout flashlight bodies sitting saddleback on either side of the top rail. One holds a white light and the other would hold some form of IR illuminator head (B.E. Meyers KIJI, Z-Bolt Blazer, 3EIR Vulcan).

It seems like a good solution for secondary or tertiary builds that you wanna tack NV capabilities onto. Incidentally, due to being so low-profile, it's the perfect MFAL for an AK or other rifles that you can't put excessively tall optic risers on due to the stock being lower than the top of the receiver.

I've ordered a Z-Bolt Blazer Head and will be donating this laser to @bureau-of-mines' AK in trade for a Holosun IRIS-3 or AMMJ Penumbra (depending on whether the former restocks before I make up the additional cash to afford the latter).

For the sake of comparison, here's the CTF-3 without any heads in between a Steiner DBAL D2 and an EG NGAL.

The CTF-3 seems like a large unit, but it's very flat and carries most of its weight in the integral flashlight bodies, which it spreads out nicely. Plus the fact it eliminates a separate white light setup also cuts down greatly on weight.

While I don't recommend this unit for AR15's (given the abundance of better options now), I'd say it still has a niche to fill. Basically, it's a DIR-V that traded the lighter weight and the crane port for superior build quality and sheer modularity. And also not costing $2000 fucking dollars.

Exploring Robotic Welding: How Automation is Shaping Module Manufacturing?

In the dynamic world of manufacturing, accuracy and productivity are critical. This is especially true for the fabrication of modules in a variety of industries, where welding is essential. This article will examine the cutting-edge welding technologies used in the manufacturing of modules, emphasizing the specifications and technical aspects that guarantee the best possible outcomes.

Robotic Precision: An Overview of Module Welding

Advanced module welding is primarily focused on robotic precision and automation. Moving the module to a designated station and conveying the equipment are the first steps in the process. This is where a highly developed positioning system comes into play. Once the module is precisely located, a special system is started.

The system calls the appropriate response program after reading the code information specific to that module. This is when the amazing servo three-axis mechanism steps in, using a camera to precisely locate the welding position. Notably, everything is perfectly aligned because these positions were decided upon before the welding process.

Each junction point's height is measured using laser technology, which ensures an unmatched level of precision. Equipped with this data, the servo three-axis modifies the distance as needed before starting the welding operation. Furthermore, the welding room is equipped with a watchful monitoring system. The machinery immediately resets all tooling and stops the welding process if an abnormality is found.

Technical Specifications and Requirements

In the manufacturing of modules, welding is a difficult task that calls for exacting specifications and a sharp eye for technical details. It is crucial to make sure that the laser's light path is unobstructed during the welding process when using vibrating mirror laser welding. The pressing block and the welding seam trajectory must be separated by more than 3 mm.

A well-thought-out fixture is used to shield the module from exposure during welding, except the bar sheet. Additionally, this prevents welding slag from interfering with explosion-proof valves. To further improve safety precautions, the pipeline next to the welding fixture has a flame-retardant sleeve installed.

Each pole column's compression mechanism is independent to avoid cell-to-cell short circuits, and insulation is used to preserve the system's integrity. To guarantee optimal functionality, there should also be no space between the busbar and the pole.

Meeting the Needs: Precision and Security

In module welding, requirements must be met precisely. By matching an external rivet circle or pole column feature, the system makes up for any deviation. The precise welding coordinates made possible by this compensation guarantee that the welding procedure is precise and in line with the pre-established positions.

There are anti-deviating mechanisms for offsets and defocusing in place to prevent problems caused by severe weld offsets and defocusing. The alarm is set off if any of these happen. During the addressing process, the addressing data can be linked to module information and is stored locally for improved visibility.

Moreover, oxidation is avoided during welding by using protective nitrogen. In addition, the system has an automated switch and alarm that activate when the protective gas runs out. This feature aids in reminding operators to quickly replace the gas.

The FPC Welding Platform: Increasing Productivity

The FPC welding platform greatly increases efficiency during the welding process. It is a flexible addition to the manufacturing process because it is made to accept separate welding tooling.

A CCD vision system is used to pinpoint the exact location of an FPC once it is inserted into the welding fixture. A laser ranging sensor determines the height of the FPC. The welding program is started after the vibrating mirror modifies the power as necessary. The FPC is welded by a robot that has a welding head attached to it. An industrial dust collector effectively filters the soot produced during this process.

Conclusion

Innovative welding techniques are changing the face of module manufacturing. These cutting-edge methods provide unparalleled safety, effectiveness, and precision. They play a crucial role in guaranteeing the accuracy and efficiency of welding procedures, opening the door for further advancements in the manufacturing industry.

CTF Photonics CTF3 + Malkoff E1HTv2 and Z-Bolt Blazer IR Heads

A follow-up to the previous post, this unit officially belongs to @bureau-of-mines' AK build and figured I'd give my own more thorough early impressions on it so far - despite the presence of other devices hitting the market around the same time and price bracket as this, I still feel like the CTF3 has a niche of its own to fill.

The key selling point to this unit is its modularity - in lieu of an onboard IR illuminator, the CTF3 features effectively two 3V Scout Flashlight bodies machined into the laser body that sit saddleback on either side of the top rail. This allows you to interchange whatever IR or white light heads you need for your specific setup.

The fire buttons are surprisingly easy to reach despite the protruding battery caps; the center button being laser only and the smaller left and right buttons activating both the laser and the corresponding light body.

Sadly this means your IR laser will be activated when using the white light, and there's also no constant-on function for the light bodies, but such is life.

In my opinion, the greatest benefit of the CTF3 is its low profile - this really is the perfect laser for an AK or other rifle that force you to use lower-mounted optics. It fills the same niche as the 3EIR DIR Series, except it's more modular, made of higher quality materials, asks roughly half the cost (as far as a base unit without heads), and eliminates a separate white light setup, keeping the overall cost of accessories down.

Obviously, you also lose a remote cable port, vis laser, power output controls, the ability to co-align the illuminator with the laser dot, and divergence control is greatly limited as well (unless you get an IR Blazer Head), but you get the benefit of having less integral components to fail within the laser body itself.

Although I have a massive bias to ancient laser boxes, the CTF3 is a very cool unit and I love how it works on "westernized" AK setups (though how well it handles 7.62x39 is yet to be determined). Love to see more from CTF going forwards.

Also giving @avtomatkalashnikova a tag since he was interested in this setup as well.

For example, if you and your partner have a favorite song, you can carve a line over the lyrics. Or, maybe your partner is a very influential person. If so, make a quote from a movie you both love that we think will make your ring extra special. You might also consider carving a phrase in a language that means something to you, such as "Amore eterno" (eternal love in Italian) or "Pour toujours" (eternal in French), which are very strong lines carved with laser modules.

Symbols and ICONS One of our favorite wedding ring engraving ideas is to add a visual element to your ring engraving. These can be symbols that are meaningful to your relationship, such as the mind, the infinity symbol, or even a custom symbol where you both have a special connection. For example, you could carve a heart symbol to show love, or an infinity symbol to show endless love and commitment. If you and your partner share an interest or hobby, you can carve a symbol related to it. For example, if you both love to travel, a small airplane icon might be a cute and unique carving idea. If you're both fans of a particular series or franchise, you can include a small icon associated with it as a subtle nod to your shared interests.

Initials engraved The emblem and initials are a classic and elegant way to personalize your wedding ring with a laser module. This method involves engraving the first letter of your name individually or interleaved into the ring. To do this, start by using graphic design software to create a digital version of the initial or floral word and experiment with different fonts and permutations to find the best-looking one. After all, this is an important day. Once finished, import this design into the software suitable for your laser engraver and cutter and follow the instructions of the machine OEM. No matter how many years have passed, the initials will always remind your significant other. conclusion Carving your wedding ring is a great way to add a personal touch and create a lasting memory of your special day.
