GSI Group Inc. - Laser Division offers a wide range of lasers, processing tools, and fiber optic delivery systems that measure up - whether you're welding, cutting, marking metals, marking non-metals, drilling, ablating, microprocessing, scribing, or using any number of other industrial or scientific processing methods.

GSI Group Inc. - Laser Division has brought speed, accuracy, and precision processing into the real world of industrial environments with lasers ranging from lamp-pumped to diode-pumped solid state, from Nd:YAG to CO2 to Excimer, from UV to infrared, including Q-switched and free-running lasers, in both pulsed and continuous wave mode, in OEM and industrial end-user formats.

Their list of industry firsts includes:

• Pioneered development of TEA-CO2 gas lasers in 1971.
• Pioneered development of industrial solid-state lasers in 1973; followed by the first Nd:YAG system with breakthrough wattage and tailored resonators.
• In 1979, introduced the world’s first high rep rate ultraviolet excimer laser.
• Developed and marketed the first industrial fiber optic delivery system on a laser system in 1981.
• Launched the world’s first pulsed, solid-state laser system, the JK700 series, in 1986.
• Introduced the first multiple kilowatt CW and modulated CW lasers in 1992.
• Brought the first twin-rod technology laser system to the market for drilling in 1997.
• Patented the first auto-focus Robotic Cutting head with built-in crash protection for industrial cutting applications in 1999.
• Introduced the patented “Luminator” fiber-optic design with back-reflection protection built-in in 2002.
• Expanded its range into DPSS and other low-power Nd: YAGs, CO2s, and scientific lasers in 2003 with the acquisition of Spectron Lasers.
