Mainboard-listed Sarin Technologies (U77:SI), the manufacturer of equipment for evaluating diamonds and gems, has launched the Strategist laser sawing planning system for all customers of the Quazer laser saw.

The Strategist provides the Sarin’s laser sawing suite with a dual purpose system – an independent setup station (hardware) and a computerised planning tool (software). These enables multiple sawing jobs of multiple diamonds to be prepared offline, freeing up valuable laser time.

The Strategist software uses the rough stone’s three dimensional structure and the planned locations of the polished stones as generated by the Advisor, together with Galaxy or Solaris derived inclusion mapping data, to generate a safer and higher yield laser sawing plan.

For the first time, the Strategist integrates the rough planning and the actual laser-sawing of the stone into a computer controlled and coordinated process that is also able to avoid as far as possible, cracks and bubbles.

This link allows more intelligent decisions to be made on the Strategist during the planning stage before the Quazer laser saw is used to cut the diamond.
