100 watt Fiber Lasers

Since we wrote our last article about Smith & Wesson a lot has changed in the laser world and the same goes for Smith & Wesson. In the last article Smith & Wesson we discussed the quality of the laser engraving provided by the Langolier 50 Watt Fiber Laser Marking System and Jimani has since added the 100 Watt Langolier fiber laser which has delivered faster cycle times.

When laser source supplier Nufern developed a 100 Watt fiber laser source Jimani was an early adopter. Jimani knew that Smith & Wesson had cycle time concerns so they shared a 100 Watt fiber laser source from Nufern to do some testing to prove the concept. Jimani helped Smith & Wesson update an existing 50-Watt Langolier system the 100-watt laser source.

Ben Lussier, Manufacturing Engineer at Smith & Wesson, says "the 100 Watt fiber laser cut down the cycle time to almost half of the time for the 50 watt. We also saw a very nice quality mark, especially after finishing the slides which is very important to our marketing folks. The 100 watt fiber laser allowed us to buy fewer machines savings us significant capital equipment costs."

"We are pleased with the fiber laser marking from the 100-Watt systems because the mark is much more detailed than a machine engraved mark. There are far fewer headaches like broken machine tools and replacing spindles. The fiber laser requires no consumables, has no maintenance, and the cycle time is faster than machine engraving."

Jimani is easy to work with and provides excellent support - if we need a new laser it is going to be from Jimani"
