Every year, Shanghai is lit up with a “feast of light”, that is LASER World of PHOTONICS CHINA, which has lasted for 20 years and become an arena for global photoelectric enterprises to display and compete, instead of just an exhibition hall of devices. Chanelink team visited all these halls for laser technology, thoroughly learning the cutting-edge trends in photoelectric industry.
As a technical vane of photoelectric industry, this exhibition has concluded more than 1,400 enterprises from the whole industry chain. Here, you can see many internationally renowned laser groups and domestic leading enterprises competing on the same stage, focusing on innovative applications, cutting-edge technological breakthroughs, system solutions and a number of newly released products.
Now Chanelink will lead you to decode how these benchmark enterprises lead the industry focus with innovative achievements.

7.IPG Photonics
Il WS Laser Welding Integrated Sub-System -- Lego Player of Welding System
Il WS laser welding sub-system adopts modular design approach, with laser, galvanometer and controller packed as standard modules, like a plug and play laser welding gun for an industrial robot. High system integration reduces errors, time and cost in the integration process, allowing integrators and customers to focus more on the processing of components and the entire production line.
View:Modular devices are reconstructing production line logic, and redefining the flexible manufacturing.
8.Novanta
Multi-Axes Scanning Galvanometer -- Nano “Light and Shadow” Art
The newly released Precession Elepant III multi-axis scanning galvanometer(referred to as PEIII), which focuses on precision micro-machining, is a product specially launched by Novanta team for precision micro-processing. Based on original model, it is further upgraded and optimized, and can achieve the ultimate micro-precision control, also can handle a variety of complex geometry and taper drilling tasks. This upgrading enables faster drilling results, broader laser source adaptation, and faster system integration.
View:After hardware accuracy reaches the physical limit, software algorithms are becoming the new guard of precision machining.
Conclusion
As lasers learn to "think", and as the interface becomes as user-friendly as a game panel, this once arcane field is undergoing a subtle shift.
Perhaps the real future lies not in the dazzling megawatt laser on the booth, but in the engineers who quietly improve the quality of the beam, in the entrepreneurs who dare to invest profits in the research and development of ultrafast laser crystals, but also in the endless pursuit of "precision" in the entire industry. Because every micron breakthrough is redefining the boundaries of human manufacturing.
