Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE) (“LPC”), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and material processing, along with its recently acquired subsidiary Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS), today announced the expansion of their Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Marking technology, targeting the rapidly growing semiconductor and electronics industries.

Laser marking plays a crucial role in semiconductor manufacturing, a market expected to reach $1 trillion annually by 2030. As demand for advanced chips continues to rise, high-speed laser processing has become essential for efficient production. With decades of experience, CMS has developed cutting-edge automated PCB marking technology capable of high-speed etching of serial numbers, barcodes, logos, and other tracking data with exceptional precision. These systems can be deployed as standalone units or seamlessly integrated into existing Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) lines.

“We are excited to combine CMS’s industry-leading expertise with our R&D capabilities to enhance our PCB Marking technology and address the increasingly stringent requirements of the semiconductor sector,” said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of LPC. “Our collaboration is a major step toward advancing laser technology, setting new standards for the industry, and driving innovation in semiconductor production.”

CMS’s PCB marking systems are Class I lasers, capable of marking a wide range of PCB types, including FR-4, CEM-1, phenolic paper, ceramic, and solder mask substrates. These systems utilize off-axis machine vision to detect fiducials, identify processing locations, and verify marked data for enhanced accuracy and reliability. CMS is also a certified Cognex integrator, utilizing advanced camera system expertise to further optimize marking precision.

As a trusted provider of industrial laser equipment, LPC is expanding its focus into semiconductor technologies, leveraging CMS’s advanced solutions. This strategic move is part of LPC's broader diversification efforts aimed at bolstering R&D, increasing shareholder value, and ensuring long-term resilience in evolving markets.
