The nLIGHT Inc. company has announced the global launch of two new products: nfinity and ProcessGUARD, designed to meet advanced metal fabrication demands. The nfinity optimizes beam characteristics for high-power cutting applications, increasing speed and accuracy for thick metal cutting.

ProcessGUARD integrates nLIGHT Plasmo's process monitoring capability into nLIGHT lasers, eliminating the need for external optics and equipment while maximizing yield, productivity, and uptime.

These innovative products were showcased at the FABTECH show in Orlando, October 15-17, and EuroBLECH in Hanover, Germany. The launch aims to provide superior laser cutting and welding technologies to support the growing demands in the industrial, microfabrication, aerospace, and defense markets.

What are the benefits of nLIGHT's (LASR) new ProcessGUARD technology?
ProcessGUARD eliminates the need for expensive external optics and equipment while maximizing yield, productivity, and uptime in laser cutting and welding processes.

How does nLIGHT's (LASR) nfinity product improve metal cutting?
nfinity delivers fine-tuned and optimized beam characteristics for high power cutting applications, significantly increasing cutting speed and enhancing accuracy for thick metal cutting.
