Laser Photonics Expands Game-Changing Gantry Laser Technology

CMS Expertise Drives Innovation in Appliance Sector

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE) ("LPC"), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, is amplifying its large format gantry laser technology program. This R&D initiative, in collaboration with its subsidiary Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS), aims to revolutionize manufacturing for industries reliant on processing large, multi-part components, with a significant focus on the booming appliance sector.

The global kitchen appliance market, valued at over $200 billion, is ripe for disruption. The full spectrum of large appliances extends far beyond the commercial or household kitchen appliances such as stoves, ovens, range hoods, microwave ovens, refrigerators, freezers, ice makers and dishwashers to include clothing washers and dryers, among others.

CMS's advanced gantry laser systems offer a powerful solution, delivering unparalleled precision and efficiency. These systems utilize a dynamic three-axis motion platform, accommodating diverse part sizes and complexities. The non-contact laser process minimizes material damage, ensuring high-volume production without compromising quality.

CMS systems excel in creating intricate designs thanks to their ability to produce complex patterns and shapes. Integrated machine vision streamlines alignment, validation, and quality control. Moreover, these versatile systems can be configured for cutting, drilling, and welding, addressing the full spectrum of appliance manufacturing needs.

Beyond precision, CMS lasers deliver sustainability. They require minimal maintenance and generate zero waste, aligning with the industry's growing focus on eco-friendly practices. Laser markings, or annealing, provide durable, high-contrast finishes that are resistant to wear and cleaning. These systems also offer unique capabilities like paint removal on glass and plastics for touch controls and backlit panels.

With decades of experience, CMS is dedicated to providing tailored solutions to manufacturers worldwide, focusing on maximizing return on investment.

"We're not just building lasers; we're building the future of manufacturing," declared John Armstrong, Executive Vice President of LPC. "Our gantry systems are poised to redefine production, delivering speed, precision, and sustainability to industries that demand it."

This R&D expansion signifies LPC's strategic move into a new market segment, leveraging CMS's expertise to drive innovation and enhance shareholder value. By advancing large format gantry laser R&D efforts, the company aims to substantially improve material processing across other industries, including automotive, defense, energy, and maritime.
