Why LasX?
Access our industry-leading technology stack.
LasX delivers a powerful technology platform.
Our technology platform is sophisticated and nimble. Powered by LasX's core engine for material processing — the LaserSharp® Processing Module (LPM) and our intuitive LightGuide® operator software, LasX equipment can be quickly configured, and reconfigured, to meet your exact and ever-changing application requirements.
Industrial Process Controller
-
Proton plays a key role in delivering capabilities not seen in other technology solutions including: high-speed on-the-fly laser processing, vision registration, true order-of-one processing, and model-based laser depth control.
LaserSharp Processing Module
-
LaserSharp Processing Module (LPM) combines a laser source, power supply, focusing optics, beam scanner, patented Proton process controller, and LightGuide software into a single package, making it easy to integrate laser technology into your manufacturing workflow.
LightGuide Software Interface
-
LightGuide is the link between the user and the machine. Its interface allows users/operators to upload designs and projects in a variety of formats — pdf, .dxf, .dwg, .svg, .jpg, gif, tiff, bmp — for production.
Elevate material processing in a digital age.
Material flexibility
Lasers offer immense flexibility for traditionally difficult to process materials such as extensible, pressure-sensitive, and abrasive materials.
Design flexibility
By replacing the time- and labor-intensive tooling process with digitally reconfigurable lasers, you can inexpensively prototype and iterate.
Precision & intricacy
Lasers offer a tool-free, non-contact method for rapidly performing precision cutting of intricate parts not possible with hard tooling.
Future-proof investment
Digital workflow capabilities enable multiple processes in a single station and do not require retooling equipment as customer requirements evolve and new materials emerge.
System longevity
With lasers, you do not need to plan for costs associated with tool wear and maintenance, making production costs, downtime, and equipment lifetime easier to calculate.
Waste reduction
Laser processing maximizes material utilization by nesting parts on common cutting lines, which when combined with vision registration, greatly reduces material waste.
The LasX Story
Back in the 1990s, we recognized a big gap in the manufacturing industry — the lack of a flexible, modular option for laser material processing. At the time, existing off-the-shelf solutions fell short in their ability to synchronize the laser + material interaction, plus part handling in real time. To solve this issue, LasX was founded in 1998 and soon after, the LaserSharp Processing Module (LPM) – our core engine for delivering innovative processing solutions – was launched.
