22% productivity improvement achieved using Lightning™ II laser scan head with trajectory control algorithms
Deliver a flexible, large format laser cutting system
Laser Cutting
Working side-by-side with an OEM, a Synrad CO2 laser sub-system proves to be a time-saving solution that opens new business opportunities
Increase throughput in a laser marking system as current system only able to achieve 5 m/s using locally sourced scan heads for character marking
Marking and coding
Customer switched to Novanta's MOVIA 2-axis scan head and observed a 3X improvement in fly-back speed and improved laser marking throughput
Provide the laser source for a new marking system to deliver a “premium” metallic finish on plastic cell phone frames
Precision processing
ti100p CO2 laser with a 9.3 μm wavelength and wide frequency range delivers both a polished, chrome-like finish and a soft, brushed metal finish.
Replace hand engraving process on finished goods
Laser marking and coding on a curved surface
25 Watt CO2 laser coupled with a 2-axis laser marking head
Improve throughput, accuracy, and results across a range of laser processing applications
Laser processing
