• Improves production by significantly reducing processing times compared to traditional methods.
• Brings in new business because some applications can only be done with a laser and not be the traditional mechanical and chemical processes.
• Saves costs through the elimination of consumables.
• Environmentally friendly compared to chemical processes
• Saves in labor costs when automation designs are integrated.

Of course!

We are just 5 minutes from the Orlando International Airport and would be happy to show you what a laser equipment company looks like. We will show you current systems being built and how Control Laser became who they are today. Click here for a drive guide and visual video tour.

Since 1965, we’ve continued to provide laser systems and support for companies world-wide. Click here to read CLC’s history.

Yes.

We encourage you to send in samples for a free laser processing test. Whether you are looking for processing quality, faster cycle times, or a balance of cost and performance, our laser applications scientists will find the right solution for you. Let us show you what sets us apart from the rest.

Fill out our online material testing form or contact us directly for further information about our material testing study. We are also ITAR compliant.

We recommend you to send 2 or 3 types of workpieces. If you have both organic and inorganic workpiece materials, 3 or more units of each type is recommended so that our applications engineers can run trials to produce the best possible results for you.

Yes. You can download CLC’s reciprocal NDA, or email us your NDA document.

Usually we shall refer you to one of our machine owners nearby your location.

We are equipment manufacturers. The purpose of pre-sale free sampling is not for advertising laser processing services, but to help potential buyers and to ensure our machines will perform to their expectations. Preliminary setup for acceptance test criteria is the basis for technical proposals and quotations.

Yes.

We sell laser systems without a workstation to integrators, or to customers with in-house engineering teams. We also quote customers with legacy laser machines for retrofiting with new technology, on-site repair, or custom engineering field service.

Our automation designs include:

• Semi and full axis control automated loading and unloading subsystems.
• Linear and 6-jointed robots.
• Machine Vision.
• Harsh Environment Protection.

You can visit our Automation Integration page to learn more.

Free pre-sale sampling will help you select the right model.

Laser Micromachining has been narrowed down in its scope by CLC, categorized beyond regular laser marking and engraving. We define it as high consistency, fine micro-forming laser processing. Typical applications are zero taper micro-drilling, micro-deductive manufacturing, biomedical experiments, etc.

The available laser sources includes 3 types: the nanosecond pulse laser when re-engineered to have higher beam stability; short wavelength lasers with high photon energy, like Green; UV; or deep UV laser; and ultrafast lasers, like pico-second and femto-second lasers which control HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) more precisely than nanosecond lasers.

Free pre-sale sampling will help you select the right model.

Laser marking and engraving are popular applications for industrial and commercial material processing. Marking refers to the need of making a visible mark without removing material, while engraving refers to the need to remove material and cut into the part with the laser beam.

Available laser sources includes 2 types of fibers lasers with 1 micron wavelength for inorganic materials, and CO2 lasers with 10 micron wavelength for organic materials. If engraving is your major application, then 30, 50 or 100-watt lasers are recommended. For marking applications, usually a 20-watt laser is recommended as it mainly relies on the peak power of a pulsed laser, not average power.

We have a 4-6 weeks average lead-time for standard laser systems. We are always open to the possibility of expedited lead-times to meet your needs.

For customized systems, the lead-time varies greatly depending on the complexity of the project. Let us know what your needs are and we will be happy to discuss the probability of meeting your timing goals!

We recommend that customers come to our CLC manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida for on-site acceptance. At the same time, we provide operations training courses on your specific machine. After the machine is accepted, payment and shipment will be determined.

The acceptance test criteria is determined by pre-sale sampling, or as CLC’s quality control (QC) tests.

If for any reason you cannot come, we will send pictures and/or arrange a remote video acceptance.

Yes. Shipment instructions about packaging, anti-vibration transport, and storage shall be sent to you before confirming your shipment arrangements.

Yes. We provide shipping arrangement services for both domestic and international customers in which freight and insurance costs are prepaid.

For laser micromachining, marking, and engraving equipment, a fume extraction system should be prepared. We have fume extraction packages available for customers needing a solution. Otherwise, customers are responsible for particulate and fume extraction to keep the laser equipment clean and free of particles.

For cutting and welding equipment, gas cylinders or liquid gas stations may be needed if cutting kerf or welding seam quality sensitive. We have recommended gas vendors at the customers request. Dust collector, air compressor and refrigerated air dryers are required, ancillary devices for high power cutters. We usually quote these devices as a package unless the customer already has these devices.
