The module family inside every LasX machine
LaserSharp® LPM
LaserSharp® Processing Modules are the laser engines at the core of every LasX machine. The laser source is matched to the material and the process — CO₂, NIR, green, or UV, at the pulse duration the process needs — while the core controls and software architecture stay the same across the family. Modules are also sold and integrated on their own, so converters can add laser capability to an existing press, laminator, or slitter-rewinder rather than replacing the line.

Configure-to-order
- LPM selection by material and process
- Number of modules and power by material size and speed
- Automation and inspection options
- OEM integration package
- µVerify™ — in-line inspection that measures feature size and position and feeds closed-loop control of the laser parameters, plus Pulse beam confirmation. Which features are measured depends on the application.
Most converters do not want to replace a line. They want the line they have to do something it currently cannot.
That is what the LPM is for.

Questions buyers ask
Can an LPM be integrated into a line LasX did not build?
Yes — this is a core part of the business. LasX supplies LPMs as OEM modules, including mechanical and electrical integration envelopes and control handshake documentation.
How does the module talk to our line?
Through LightGuide®, which runs every LaserSharp® module. Its OPC UA server lets your PLC or SCADA system load recipes, start and stop the module, and read its state, alarms, and counts; a JSON web API serves an MES or ERP. Positions from the job — where a slitter should cut, where a robot should pick — can be exported to the equipment after the laser.
Which wavelength is right for our material?
It depends on the material's absorption. CO₂ at 9.4 µm behaves very differently from 10.6 µm on some polymers and adhesives — a difference that shows up as edge quality and achievable speed. The PhotonX lab tests this rather than guessing.
