Platts & Nisbett has recently invested in a new state of the art Laser Marking System. 

The Datalogic Ulyxe Laser Marking System has a compact diode-pumped solid-state laser and integrated high precision industrial scan head. It provides perfect beam quality, giving a very small focused spot which allows extremely fine marking to be achieved. The visible twin red laser diode pointer allows for accurate alignment and focus finding. Superior beam pointing, peak power and peak-to-peak stability provide reliable and repeatable processing, giving a high speed to accuracy ratio.

Platts & Nisbett is proud to support the International Children’s Heart Foundation (ICHF), by providing surgical instruments for their mission trips around the world.

The International Children’s Heart Foundation recently made their first Babyheart Mission Trip to Skopje (Macedonia), carrying out life saving surgery using Platts & Nisbett surgical instruments. 

Platts & Nisbett has recently invested in a new state of the art laser welding system, which complements our existing TIG welding system.

The Piccolaser is very precise; set parameters can be called up at the touch of a button, and laser instant adjustments can be carried out immediately. In contrast to conventional welding, a homogenous melt is produced at the fusion point of the materials to be joined. This delivers an optimum result without discolouration, spots or beads.

Demand for the Platts & Nisbett Free Lifetime Sharpening Service has never been so high. Following its introduction two years ago, we have seen a dramatic rise in the number of hospitals taking advantage of this unique service.

Platts & Nisbett is pleased to welcome our new apprentice to the team. Following 14 weeks of full time training at the Brinsworth Academy of Engineering, our new recruit is ready to begin his onsite training at Platts & Nisbett.

Following its launch in 2010 at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, the kit has grown in popularity, with the first six months of 2012 showing an increase in the number of loans up by 400%. With word now spreading amongst the surgeons we have found ourselves inundated with enquiries from hospitals who now wish to try it.
