Industries ProfileControl Laser offers a wide range of laser system solutions to just about every type of industry in the business world today. Many of these industries depend on the extreme precision and high grade quality that laser marking can provide. The list of industries moving over to lasers to handle their everyday application needs is astounding. We’re proud to say that in the 40+ years that we have been in business, we have installed thousands of laser systems in every major industry worldwide ranging from: Automotive, Aerospace, Commercial, Electrical, Semiconductor, Tools & Tooling, Packaging, and more. We understand that a large number of the applications that we process for a most of these industry types are extremely sensitive and must adhere to strict government regulations in order to be considered successful. Our laser systems prove to be the most viable option for most of them. Our technology can consistently pass many of these grade standards and offers a permanent marking solution that has been accepted by the FDA, NASA, and the Department of Defense many times over. Automotive The Automotive Industry was one of the first places that lasers were introduced and widely accepted as the new standard for processing. Laser Systems have allowed the auto makers to evolve and sustain the highest level of quality in regards to direct part marking and traceability of their automobiles and components. For years, we have been marking pistons, bearings, wheel and brake components, transmission components, mirrors, windshields, actuators, backlit buttons, VIN tags, headlight lenses, engine components, fenders, and much more. Aerospace Aerospace is a high tech industry that offers a diverse line of applications. The Department of Defense and NASA are the two largest consumers of aerospace technology and products. Laser processing in this field requires great attention to detail and strict guidelines must be met in order to successfully produce parts. We stay current on all of the new standards that Aerospace is employing such as UID marking for part identification and traceability. We have successfully marked tags, bearings, backlit panels, injectors, glass, buttons, fuse blocks, gaskets, filters, hydraulic hoses, turbines, wires, and more. Medical Medical companies all over the world have turned to laser systems for processing many of their medical devices. Our laser technology has been widely embraced doctors and medical engineers due to the nature of their sensitive applications and very strict regulations they must adhere to. Lasers are able to provide pinpoint accuracy and quality marks without compromising the device. A list of medical applications we have processed includes: stents, needles, seals, forceps, pumps, valves, filters, implants, pacemakers, tubes, wires, blades, molds, tags, bits, screws, and more. Our laser systems can provide high grade marks on stainless steel, titanium, a variety of plastics, and just about any material that the medical industry demands. Solar The Solar Industry has been around for years, but it is quickly turning into a huge market for the laser technology we provide. We have been successfully processing applications for scribing and patterning solar panels that offer a very bright future and strong partnership for us. Our laser systems can handle patterning on thin film solar cells, edge isolation on crystalline silicon, and Micro-Via hole drilling for advanced solar cell assembly. We have the tools to also provide date codes, lot codes, and data matrix codes for enhanced part tracking and identification. The advancements being made in this field are very exciting and laser technology looks to be in line every step of the way. Commercial The commercial sector can always depend on the many advantages that laser technology delivers. Like most of the industries we work with, commercial grade applications require the highest quality and fine precision to be considered a success. Lasers provide a permanent marking solution that can handle the harsh conditions that commercial applications may endure. Our laser systems have effectively processed cutlery, thermostats, backlit buttons, industrial blades, glass, mirrors, cables, tags, hoses, cookware, security panels, light fixtures, and more. Electrical Electrical components and devices can be very tricky to process. A large majority of these parts are very small in size and are prone to failure due to static charge or improper handling. The electrical companies have turned to laser technology to provide the precision necessary for processing their applications. Our laser systems are fully capable of accurately marking these sensitive components without damaging the electrical device itself. Control Laser has processed wires, batteries, shrink tubes, connectors, motors, switches, composite conductive materials, ceramics, relays, flex circuits, PC boards, ICs, wafers, silica glass, and much more. Tools & Tooling Tools have been around since the beginning of time and it seems like there will always be a place for us to do business in this industry. Many tooling companies choose lasers as their premier way of branding and marking their parts. We are very familiar with the materials that are most commonly used such as steel, stainless steel, anodized metals, carbide, and a variety of plastics. Many of these tooling applications require us to use Deep Engraving lasers to achieve depth in the marks. This prevents the marks from being removed or scratched off from rough handling and excessive wear and tear. Tooling applications include: screwdrivers, sockets, wrenches, housings, hammers, compressors, saws, bits, files, pliers, toolboxes, flashlights, punches, and lenses. Packaging Companies in the packing industry rely on laser technology because of their high speed and repeatability. Many of our partners in the packaging sector require the ability to mark “on the fly” in order to process high part volumes continuously day after day. We can specially configure our lasers and software to seamlessly integrate into their automated lines. We also design custom systems that handle the entire operation if integration is not an option. Our systems can be utilized to process a variety of boxes, bottles, labels, consumable packaging, and organic materials. Novelty / Gift Promotional items are key marketing tools these days. Believe it or not, lasers have been used for many years to mark and engrave on a wide variety of the materials used to make these consumer giveaways. Although we specialize in industrial grade machines and custom laser systems, we have a number of configurations geared towards companies that do this type of work. Lasers are perfect for marking many promotional pieces such as: pens, keychains, necklaces, rings, cups, keyboards, cell phone cases, luggage tags, dogtags, flashlights, jumpdrives, etc.
