Capabilities

What the green laser does

One laser, every process step — and finished parts release directly from the mother glass.

Drilling & countersinking

Small, precise holes without mechanical stress.

All about laser drilling

Free-form cutting

Any contour, cut fully free — no breaking parts out of the mother glass.

Chamfering

Possible in the same setup, during the drilling process.

Marking & structuring

Fine surface structuring and marking.

Coating removal

Layer-accurate ablation of coatings on glass.

All in one machine

Every process step — without a single tool change.

Why green laser

Energy and cost efficient

Conventional drilling and shape cutting technologies have reached their limits. But with increasingly demanding customer requirements and product designs, new glass processing technologies must meet this challenge. Our green laser technology meets and exceeds these modern requirements by inspiring designers to be more creative with their glass specifications.

Advantages of our machines:

No tools — only software!

You can cut out any shape simply by adjusting the software.

High yield!

Due to the precision of the laser and minimal breaks, you have almost no material loss.

Clean process!

No water, no sand, no dirt.

Cost effective!

Eliminates additional grinding and washing steps.

Energy efficient!

Only 6.5 KVA at maximum peak power.

All-in-one machine!

Marking, coating removal, partial removal, chamfering, countersinking, drilling — all in one machine.

Operating costs

Minimum operating costs

Unlike other glass processing alternatives that require a significant amount of energy to operate, our laser machines use only a fraction of the energy, reducing overall production costs. In addition, unlike conventional methods, our machines do not require regular replacement consumables, which are often expensive. This makes our machines an economical choice for companies that want to reduce production costs without compromising quality.
