Our office was set
up in 1988, and
now employs 5 people. Since
1990,
we have been marketing and
servicing lasers for Lasag,
a Swiss company that is part of the
Swatch group and produces pulsed
YAG lasers exclusively.

went into the laser marking business using Q-switched
continuous
wave laser heads pumped by flash
lamps, then, from 2004, diode-pumped
Q-switched continuous wave laser heads. |

In
2001, we decided to develop
our own
laser
machine for marking
and/or welding,
and
to fit it with a vision system with
shape
recognition software.

«
In fact, we had noticed that
the laser marking process itself was very short
and that machining time was mostly taken up with
loading parts», explains Richard Renaud.
« We
also realised that small, delicate micromechanical
parts, such as those used in clock making and
jewellery, were not laser marked or machined,
for technical and economic reasons. Now, we
could make sure that they were. Our aim was
to place the parts in bulk beneath the marking
machine, and hence reduce
machining time significantly, by a factor of
10 ».
