Cutting Stents

Our turnkey machines are ideal for cutting all types of medical devices based on tubular blanks, including stents, hypotubes, and complex shapes like TAVR valve scaffolds.

Cutting Insulin Pens

Machines based on cost-effective fiber lasers for precision cutting of insulin pens and other detailed devices made from temperature-sensitive materials (e.g., nitinol).

Laser Black Marking

Our machines based on picosecond lasers provide permanent, corrosion-resistant black marking for UDI labeling, fiducials, and logos on stainless steel and aluminum.

UV Plastics Marking

Our ultraviolet laser solutions are used to create high-contrast marks in colored, transparent, white, and coated plastics, without thermal surface damage.

Welding Endoscopes

Laser welding machines from Coherent help to cost-optimize the production of endoscopes, from manual welding of single prototypes, all the way to fully automated CNC production.

Marking Tubular Devices

Simplify your tube marking challenges with a fully automated system, including robotic part handling, 100% inspection, and a broad choice of laser sources for metals and plastics.

Polymer Welding

Coherent systems enable particle-free, low distortion, high throughput welding of polymer parts, and are readily integrated into production environments.
