 High-Power Lasers

Laser solutions for Material Processing

Lasers for metal processing are based on High-power Lasers that generate intense light beams to transform different type of materials in fabrication. This can include laser welding, laser drilling, laser metal cutting, laser engraving or cleaning different materials as plastics, wood and metal.

  • Plastic, wood, metal and fabric Marking
  • Plastic, wood and metal Engraving
  • Metal Welding
  • Metal/steel stamping, bending, heat treatment
  • Plastic Welding
  • Laser Soldering
  • Laser Brazing
  • Laser Cladding
  • Laser Metal Cutting
  • Metal Hardening and Softening
  • Laser cleaning
  • Laser-assisted roll-forming
