 Last week our speaker was Kyle Taylor, a Colorado native and CSU graduate, who now works as an engineer at Wolf Robotics. Wolf has 130 employees at their Fort Collins facility, and employees in Brazil and Mexico. As part of its professional outreach, Wolf collaborates with CSU in an active intern program.
Kyle showed photos and described a number of robot-welder applications, including high heat, high pressure and corrosive environments, including under sea applications, where human welders could not operate. The company’s innovations include heavy welding software, preheat (using a blowtorch) and temperature sensing, additive manufacturing (including metal 3D printing), advanced human machine interfaces and simplified welding power source controls. Wolf Robotics is the successor to Heath Engineering, founded in 1944. |
November 8, Donna Chapel, a Marine Mom, and Jenny Pickett, Director of the CSU Adult Learner and Veteran Services Office, emceed our Veteran’s Day program honoring our Rotarians who have served in the military. Donna first updated us on Veteran's Compass and the Finish Line Scholarship program, founded by Donna and Jenny, and supported by RCFC, the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado.
