Pioneering On-the-Fly Technology Revolutionizes High-Volume Manufacturing

Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE) (“LPC”), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, and its subsidiary, Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS Laser), today announced an accelerated research and development initiative for their Extrusion Line Laser Marking Systems. This initiative aims to further enhance the efficiency and precision of high-volume manufacturing processes.

Extrusion, a critical process for producing continuous profiles from melted raw materials, is essential for industries manufacturing PVC pipes, tubing, window frames, wire insulation, thermoplastic coatings and more. Recognizing the demand for high-speed, reliable marking solutions in these sectors, LPC and CMS Laser are leveraging their combined expertise to advance this laser marking technology.

John Armstrong, LPC Executive Vice President, said: "Through this research and development initiative, we aim to meet the growing demand in the market for effective extrusion line marking systems. For Laser Photonics, this isn't just about faster marking; it's about unlocking new levels of productivity and quality for manufacturers across diverse sectors."

At the heart of this development is CMS Laser's pioneering on-the-fly (OTF) laser technology. This innovation eliminates production bottlenecks by seamlessly integrating laser marking into the continuous manufacturing flow. OTF systems, equipped with closed-loop feedback and vision validation, accurately track extruded materials, compensating for variations in line speed and ensuring precise, high-resolution markings, including barcodes, dates, serial numbers and other tracking information as well as logos and intricate designs.

This technology accommodates a wide range of extruded materials, from small to large diameter tubing, heat shrink, and corrugated tubing. Custom software provides flexibility and versatility. Vision systems coordinate with the software to ensure accurate laser results, maximizing throughput and efficiency. The choice of laser source, ranging from UV to IR, is tailored to the specific plastic material being extruded, considering factors like material composition, color, mark quality, and line speed. Systems are designed to meet customer requirements, including custom software interfaces and mechanical designs.

Furthermore, applications utilizing ultrafast lasers for marking agricultural irrigation products, fiber lasers for cable conduits, and green lasers for oil and gas pipes highlight the versatility of this technology.

By investing in R&D for Extrusion Line Laser Marking Systems, LPC, leveraging CMS Laser’s established expertise, is executing its diversification strategy, aimed at enhancing shareholder value and building resilience in evolving markets.
