If you're investigating new methods for part processing, our Applications Development Lab accepts samples, along with a list of process requirements (speed/size/contrast/etc.) and develops a laser-based application, all at no cost to you. CMS Laser maintains the most comprehensive Apps Lab in the industry. Over 15 lasers from the the leading laser companies give us the means to specifically match your product and process to the optimal laser source.

The lab is set up to handle moving X/Y tables, moving lasers (from simple Z axis movement to complete 5 axis motion), On the Fly (OTF) systems, robotic part handling, SMT and automated part delivery/retrieval transport, and the optics to cover any sort of field. Our engineers, with a combined 250 years of experience, have worked with a wide spectrum of materials from some of the world's leading companies from around the globe.

We maintain a full complement of optics and accessories (scan heads, fixed heads, telecentric lenses, F-Theta lenses, simple lenses, beam expanders, collimators, beam splitters, mirrors, and more). In combination with the laser selection, they provide innumerable options in designing a solution optimized for your parts, materials, and process. The Apps Lab contains several high power microscopes and imaging systems for process inspection and feature location.

Additionally, CMS Laser is a Cognex Certified Vision Integrator and our lab includes many models of Dataman (DM750-DM-7500 series) and Insight (IS500, IS14xx, IS5xxx, IS7xxx) cameras, as well as a full range of lenses and diode lights (Blue, Red, White, IR).
