New Laser Technology Enhances Efficiency in High-Volume Manufacturing

Laser Photonics Corporation LASE (“LPC”), a major player in developing industrial laser systems for cleaning and material processing applications, has unveiled an accelerated research and development initiative with its subsidiary, Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS Laser). This initiative focuses on improving the efficiency and precision of their Extrusion Line Laser Marking Systems, catering to increased market demands.

Understanding the Role of Extrusion in Manufacturing

Extrusion remains a vital process for generating continuous profiles made from melted raw materials. This method is crucial for sectors producing PVC pipes, tubing, window frames, wire insulation, and thermoplastic coatings. LPC and CMS Laser intend to harness their collective expertise to enhance laser marking technology in response to the rising demand for quick and dependable marking solutions within these industries.

Insights on the R&D Initiative

John Armstrong, LPC Executive Vice President, stated: “Our new R&D initiative is designed to address the growing need for effective extrusion line marking systems. This effort extends beyond just accelerating marking speeds; we are focused on enhancing productivity and quality across various manufacturing sectors.”

Innovative On-the-Fly Laser Technology

Central to this initiative is CMS Laser’s innovative on-the-fly (OTF) laser technology. This advancement effectively removes production bottlenecks by integrating laser marking within the continuous manufacturing process. OTF systems feature closed-loop feedback and vision validation, which accurately track extruded materials. This capability adjusts for variations in line speed to ensure precise, high-resolution markings—including barcodes, dates, serial numbers, and more complex designs like logos.

Diverse Applications and Configurations

The technology supports a broad spectrum of extruded materials, from small to large diameter tubing and heat shrink products. Custom software enhances versatility, while vision systems work alongside this software to optimize laser accuracy, ensuring maximum production throughput. The choice of laser source, ranging from UV to infrared, is adapted to the specific materials, taking into account factors such as composition, color, marking quality, and line speed. Additionally, these systems can be personalized to meet specific customer requirements.

Notably, the technology applies to ultrafast lasers for marking agricultural irrigation products, fiber lasers for cable conduits, and green lasers suitable for oil and gas pipelines, illustrating its wide-ranging adaptability.

Strategic Investment in R&D

By investing in the R&D of Extrusion Line Laser Marking Systems, LPC, with CMS Laser’s established credentials, is reinforcing its diversification strategy. This strategic move is designed to enhance shareholder value while building resilience in the face of changing market conditions.
