Key factors for consideration to configure your ideal solution

Key Factors

Solution Considerations
Business Objectives and Application Requirements Your goals, technical requirements, and future scalability are fundamental inputs to guide selection decisions—ensuring alignment with immediate needs and long-term plans.
Material Composition and Absorption Properties We analyze the composition and absorption characteristics of each material considered for processing to guide the selection of wavelength(s), laser power, MultiWave Hybrid™ technology, and the overall system configuration that delivers optimal flexibility.
Raw Material and Finished Part Dimensions The size and geometry of the materials and parts to be processed inform platform selection. We ensure the chosen platform supports the required processing area. For oversized materials, we may recommend the Class 4 Conversion module.
Processing Objectives and Quality Requirements Application-specific quality requirements and processing objectives determine the selection of optics, gas assist, material handling, camera registration modules, platform and laser system control software functionality to ensure optimal output, including:
  • Minimizing heat-affected zones
  • Producing high-fidelity edges with sharp definition
  • Preventing surface anomalies
  • Maintaining structural integrity throughout the process
  • Eliminating post-process artifacts
  • Achieving stringent dimensional accuracy and tolerance specifications
Throughput and Cycle Time Requirements Different platforms offer varying material processing areas and levels of efficiency, directly impacting throughput and productivity. We evaluate your performance goals and identify the optimal platform, software features, methods, and supporting technologies to ensure the system meets your requirements.
Workflow Integration and Operating Environment The deployment environment—whether in R&D, prototyping, or production—guides the selection of material handling, automation interface, and facility modules. These ensure seamless integration into your workflow and infrastructure.

All elements are brought together into a fully configured, deployment-ready laser system. Final configuration includes:

  • Confirming the laser system platform selection, laser source(s) and other configuration modules based on technical and application-specific requirements, including any future potential applications.
  • Documenting optimized laser processing methods and parameters for each material and application to ensure repeatability in your environment
  • Identifying facility preparation needs and providing recommendations for seamless integration and deployment
