Industrial Process Controller
-
Proton plays a key role in delivering capabilities not seen in other technology solutions including: high-speed on-the-fly laser processing, vision registration, true order-of-one processing, and model-based laser depth control.
LaserSharp Processing Module
-
LaserSharp Processing Module (LPM) combines a laser source, power supply, focusing optics, beam scanner, patented Proton process controller, and LightGuide software into a single package, making it easy to integrate laser technology into your manufacturing workflow.
LightGuide Software Interface
-
LightGuide is the link between the user and the machine. Its interface allows users/operators to upload designs and projects in a variety of formats — pdf, .dxf, .dwg, .svg, .jpg, gif, tiff, bmp — for production.
The LasX Difference.
-
Ranging from flexible electronics to medical packaging to high-speed marking and etching, LasX casts a wide net of expertise.
-
With our automated digital workflows and lifetime equipment upgrade program, you have the flexibility to perform multiple processes with a single solution without retooling equipment as your production requirements evolve and new materials emerge.
-
By using LasX lasers to perform on-demand, high-speed non-contact material processing, the costs associated with die cutting’s tool wear and maintenance are now a thing of the past —lowering your production costs and set-up time and extending equipment lifetime.
-
Our laser technology maximizes material utilization by nesting parts on common cutting lines, eliminates the chemicals typically required for etching on metal foils and circuits, and can be configured to process emerging materials.
-
LasX is not your typical equipment provider. Our contract manufacturing facility uses the same proprietary technology that powers the equipment solutions we build for customers around the world. We are always iterating on our technology to maximize performance.

The LasX Story
Back in the 1990s, we recognized a big gap in the manufacturing industry — the lack of a flexible, modular option for laser material processing. At the time, existing off-the-shelf solutions fell short in their ability to synchronize the laser, material interaction, and part handling in real time. To solve this issue, LasX was founded in 1998 and soon after, the LaserSharp Processing Module (LPM) – which is the core engine for delivering our innovative processing solutions – was launched.
