Why Laser Powder Coat Curing?
Laser Curing vs. Alternative Curing Methods
Up to 10X Faster Than Convection
The moment a laser oven is turned on laser energy immediately penetrates the powder surface, heating the coating in volumetric fashion.
Laser curing achieves a powder-to-liquid phase transition in seconds before rapidly completing the curing process. The high curing speed reduces unnecessary heating of the part, minimizing cooling times.
Unmatched End to End Efficiency
Ultra-Efficient Laser Technology
IPG laser technology provides the highest electricity to heating efficiency available.
Precision Energy Direction
Laser curing targets a controlled area, wasting no energy heating the rest of the oven.
No Pre-Heating or Idling
Near instant starting and stopping means laser power is only on when curing is underway.
Dramatically Reduced Space Requirements
The incredible speed of the laser curing process means that powder coated parts spend less time being cured. Faster curing times translate directly to reduced oven length requirements.
As a result, laser ovens match the productivity of convection ovens with 10% of the floorspace.
System Features & Configurations
Right-Sized for Your Operation
From 8 feet to 100, a modular cell design means the length of your laser oven always matches your exact space and throughput requirements, even as your operation grows.
Seamless Integration with Common Conveyors
Continuous Conveyance
A laser safe "light labyrinth" option traps light, allowing for continuous conveyance.
Stop-And-Go Conveyance
Choose between automatic or manual doors for a light-tight enclosure that integrates with stop-and-go conveyance.
Optimized Beam Delivery for Any Part Mix
From manually adjustable optics to 3-axis and robotic options, the Modular Laser Curing System delivers consistent curing quality no matter your part mix or part complexity.
Unprecedented Temperature Monitoring & Control
The Modular Laser Curing System can be equipped with a variety of internal temperature sensors. Not possible with traditional convective and infrared curing methods , in-situ temperature measurement and adjustment enables the curing precise to be more precise than ever.
IR Thermal Sensor
Ideal for most full-production curing processes, small spot thermal sensing delivers data to system software for precise control over process temperatures.
FLIR Thermal Camera
Providing a full thermal view of the entire part, precision thermal cameras provide detailed data and enhance the temperature control loop.
High-Precision Pyrometer
By collecting high-resolution data, an internal pyrometer sensor enables in-house R&D and process development.
