Luxinar Ltd.

Leading laser manufacturer Luxinar is proud to be co-exhibiting with new partner Iradion Laser at booth #8378 (BiOS) and booth #3378 (Photonics West), taking place at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, USA, from 25 to 30 January 2025. Iradion and Luxinar have joined forces in a partnership that expands the company’s sales and service capabilities, offering a wider choice of laser sources, applications and international support. The united company now provides a comprehensive CO2 laser portfolio, from 30 to 1000 Watts, including pulsed and CW systems and a combined short pulse and ultrashort pulse laser product portfolio from Luxinar and Iradion. At BiOS and Photonics West Luxinar is displaying its LXR® USP platform, which features 24/7 operation readiness, a cutting-edge design and highly modular architecture. This innovative platform allows precise fine-tuning of the laser to meet each customer's specific needs by leveraging a pulse energy of up to 120µJ, power from 20-120W, beam quality of M2 < 1.2, selectable pulse width from 800fs-12ps and wavelengths of 1030nm, 515nm and 343nm. Iradion will exhibit its CERAMICORE® ranges which deliver superior CO2 laser performance and its diode-pumped solid-state laser NANOCORE® and FEMTOCORE® ranges offering enhanced precision. Yannick Galais, Luxinar’s Sales Director, conveyed his excitement, stating, " Our close cooperation with Iradion means we can offer our customers a stronger sales team to meet their business and development needs, a wider choice of laser sources, enhanced international technical support and service centres on three continents. With the short pulse laser product portfolio from Luxinar and Iradion, we can offer a broad range of solutions to address a wide range of laser applications.” For more information contact Luxinar at https://www.luxinar.com/contact/

Laser sources from Luxinar are widely used in the automotive industry to process materials like reinforced plastics, textiles, glass, and rubber. Common applications include cutting and trimming plastic automotive parts, such as dashboards, trims, and light housings, as well as surface texturing and paint removal. Luxinar’s SR series or SCX 35 sealed CO2 lasers are often robot-mounted for precise 3D processing, enabling multiple laser operations in one robotic cell to enhance efficiency. Luxinar’s lasers also cut automotive textiles, including seat cloth, fabric-covered interiors, seatbelt webbing, airbag fabric, and leather or carpet for seats and trims. For rubber components, such as door seals and wiper blades, small drainage holes are drilled using the MULTISCAN® CO2 laser system, which can also mark automotive parts like plastic components, wipers, and windows with critical information. CUTTING AND DRILLING CARBON FIBRE COMPOSITES Machining of carbon fibre composites for the automotive and aerospace industries evaporates the epoxy resin that binds the composite together and can result in de-lamination and matrix damage, tool wear and breakage. Conventional lasers create a heat-affected zone around the cut, exposing the fibres and compromising the strength of the material. With a Luxinar LXR® series ultrashort pulse laser heat diffusion is greatly reduced so cutting can be accomplished, and the epoxy resin remains intact. This means that holes can be drilled, and features cut out without compromising the strength of the carbon fibre sheet. GLASS CUTTING FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Ultrashort pulse combined with CO2 lasers can cut thick glass. The ultrashort pulse laser scribes the glass, a process that needs high energy, and is delivered as a single pulse or as a fast, high-energy burst. The CO2 laser then supplies thermal energy to initiate cleaving along the scribed line. The glass is separated cleanly with little or no damage due to microcracking at the edge; curves, straight lines and closed contours can all be achieved using this process.

Product traceability is critical in the pharmaceutical industry. Stringent regulations ensure that faulty or contaminated drugs can be traced and isolated, and counterfeit or black market products can be identified and removed from the supply chain. CO2 lasers can apply information to pharmaceutical packaging materials, including card, foil, plastic and glass. Human-readable text and Data Matrix codes are applied directly on the production line on the fly. Laser marks are permanent and indelible. Not restricted to packaging applications, our CO2 lasers find uses across the medical industry, where they can cut, drill, perforate and mark a range of products. Sub-surface glass marking for the pharmaceutical industry Ultrashort pulse lasers, including Luxinar’s LXR® series, mark in the bulk of optically transparent materials for applications including syringe and vial marking; sub-surface codes are indelible and not subject to wear or damage. The LXR® produces characters under 0.5 millimetres high and consisting of closely spaced dots that are barely visible to the naked eye while the surface of the glass remains intact and free from any process debris. Stent cutting A stent is a small tubular framework which is placed inside a blocked vessel or duct to keep it open and may be made from plastic (e.g., polyethylene, polyurethane, Teflon) or metal (e.g., stainless steel, nitinol or platinum). Laser cutting is an attractive process for stent manufacturing. In an application where the smallest defect could have huge implications for patient safety, the laser can cut fine detail accurately and consistently, ensuring that the stents are uniform in shape and size. The entire process can be automated and is fast and efficient. The LXR® series of ultrashort pulse lasers offers three wavelengths in the infrared, visible and UV spectral regions, enabling the processing of a wide range of stent materials whilst meeting stringent quality standards.

Iradion Laser Inc, Uxbridge, MA announces exciting news about the company: 1) Iradion CORE LASER TECHNOLOGY has impacted global laser markets, 2) CERAMICORE, NANOCORE and FEMTOCORE lasers represent technology advancements, and 3) Luxinar (formerly Rofin-Sinar UK) has joined the Iradion family. Since 2007, Iradion has continued to expand its products and services to the global marketplace. The dramatic growth of Iradion CERAMICORE CO2 laser usage in a wide range of industries and applications represents testimonials to the performance and longevity of the Eternity, Infinity and Destiny models. In addition, it speaks volumes regarding Iradion's Rapid Response Service Program, which provides all its customers with unmatched service and support. Also, Iradion has been working closely with medical equipment manufacturers regarding medical and dental applications by designing CO2 models with 11.2 um wavelengths. This wavelength uses CO2 assist gas that is FDA-friendly while preventing the absorption of the laser beam and "wicking" of body fluids into the laser surgical tool. In addition, band-select optics have been introduced for special applications that require pure CO2 wavelengths. After Iradion expanded its product lines with Innolas Photonics to include NANOCORE DPSS and FEMTOCORE ultra short pulse lasers in 2022, Iradion welcomed Luxinar, Hull UK in July 2024. Luxinar’s SR, SCX and OEM sealed CO2 lasers offer 80 to 1000W models with peak pulsing capability, excellent power stability and all CO2 wavelengths. Advances include a wide range of power, pulsing and wavelength options and configurations to meet customer applications. Iradion and Luxinar CO2 lasers stand apart from the typical glass and metal tube laser designs with advanced electronic, optic and excitation methodologies, ensuring the highest performance, reliability, and longevity. Regarding their femto ultrashort pulse and DPSS product lines, the latest technology and design criteria have been implemented to create “state-of-the-art” solutions.
