nir-vana innovation network

A Lithuanian company is a manufacturer of laser welding and laser cleaning systems. Company offers multi-functional products for various industrial applications. Laser systems are used in industrial processing, military, scientific research and aero-space all over the world. Lithuanian company closely works with scientists, engineers and Industrial companies which allows us to have a best photonics based solutions in the market.

Laser welding is one of many industrial laser processes and is used to join various materials together by creating a strong weld between them. This process can be used to create a strong and permanent joint between two types of material. The laser focuses a beam of high-intensity light on the desired area which physically melts two materials together to form a bond between them.

The laser welding method provides ultimately precise heat input on desired area with close to zero welding oxidation. It makes an aesthetic final result without additional processing.

The company is interested in a distribution services agreement or a commercial agency agreement. Potential partners should have experience in the lasers industry or industrial equipment sector, with customers in universities, research centers and SMEs.

Advantages & innovations

Speed This process can be used in both hand-held precise and large-scale automated workshops, allowing welding speed of 1-5m/min. Laser welding is very effective in processes which require pace, because it is >5 times faster than metal inert gas (MIG) and >10 times faster than tungsten inert gas (TIG). Materials Although such technology is mostly used to join metals (stainless-steel, copper, gold, silver and aluminium), it can also process other type of materials such as plastics and silicone. Aesthetic final result Laser welding method provides ultimately precision heat input to desired area with narrow full penetration weld which makes an aesthetic final result with close to zero welding oxidation. When thin large sheets are joined, laser welding (in many cases) is the only welding method to avoid thermal and physical distortion of the end product without additional processing. Laser welding is the best welding method to minimize loss of base material properties, such as hardness and strength. Low waste and simple maintenance make this technology user and environmentally friendly.

Partner sought

Type of partner sought: SMEs. Field of activity of partner: The company is looking for specialized distributors with experience in the laser industry or industrial equipment. Role of partner: The company is interested in a long term cooperation. A Lithuanian company will provide all necessary documentation, instructions and trainings to facilitate on-site demonstrations of the laser welding technology. For the distribution services agreement, partners should: -Purchase and distribute the company products directly to end-users -Ideally, the distributor should have the possibility of visiting the potential customers for making demonstrations of the laser welding systems. For the commercial agency agreement, partners should: -Promote the laser welding systems in exchange of commission.
