Something that makes LasX unique is the variety of laser technologies we have available. Our standard LPMs powered by CO2 lasers can be supplied in wavelengths of 9.4µm, 10.2µm, and 10.6µm up to 2.5 kW of laser power. With this amount of power, our LPMs can process materials at speeds up to 5x faster than competitors’ laser technology. We also have LPMs powered by fiber lasers, ultraviolet (UV) lasers, and femtosecond lasers to process metallic and exotic materials in the highest precision possible. Our LPM technology precisely controls the output power of our lasers, which gives us the flexibility to cut many different materials at a precise depth of cut.
-
Typical cutting speeds for our LaserSharp equipment is 4,000 mm per second (100” per second). Speeds will vary based on the material type and material thickness being processed. We also can “gang” multiple lasers to increase cutting speeds and/or material widths while operating under a single LaserSharp control interface.
-
LasX LaserSharp Processing Modules (LPMs) are the engines that power our high-performance laser material processing equipment. Our powerful LightGuide operator software directly imports several design file formats to guide the laser beam around the material with no special file preparation or handling required. LasX standard LPMs can be configured with CO₂ lasers, fiber lasers, UV lasers, and femtosecond lasers and can continuously process materials from 100 mm (4”) wide to more than 2,000mm (80”) wide.
-
LasX LaserSharp equipment is based on our proprietary LPMs controlled by our easy-to-use LightGuide operator interface and digital workflows, offering agility and flexibility not possible with competitive solutions. Our LPMs use high-speed scanners and innovative vision registration to perform high-precision processing with synchronized material handling. Plus, our team of laser experts has more than 20 years of experience delivering the highest performing laser processing solutions to the manufacturing industry.
-
Since we design our LaserSharp equipment with complete vertical integration of process controls, LasX can always upgrade the laser technology to be consistent with current state-of-the-art processing techniques. This means your equipment can easily run for more than 10 years. Our ClearCut® service plan can help you further maximize equipment uptime, performance, and lifespan and ensure you will realize maximum productivity through services such as machine health-checkups and on-site laser process development and operator training.
