Laser Photonics (LASE) received a repeat purchase order from an established Canadian manufacturer for a Beamer B-Series FB23 laser marking system and a fume extraction unit. The buyer is a long-time Beamer user upgrading from an earlier-generation system that has been in production for over a decade.
The B-Series FB23 features a 20-watt fiber laser, compact footprint, and capacity for parts up to 13.5 inches tall. Its modular, automation-ready design supports options such as autofocus, automated doors, rotary systems, and machine vision, allowing customers to adapt the platform as production needs evolve.
Laser Photonics (NASDAQ: LASE) and affiliated Fonon Technologies reported continued advancement of the Laser Shield Anti-Drone (LSAD) system following a direct engagement with U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The meeting allowed the LASE Group to present LSAD’s directed-energy counter‑UAS capabilities and discuss its potential role against Group 1 and Group 2 small drones.
According to Laser Photonics, LSAD is being developed as a modular, standalone perimeter‑defense architecture integrating detection, tracking, identification, decision support and laser engagement for fixed, palletized, vehicle‑mounted, soldier‑portable and unmanned configurations. Live testing at Lake Mary, Florida showed LSAD autonomously detect, track and neutralize a simulated Class I drone decoy in under three seconds, building on earlier trials where detection software tracked target drones in over 95% of real‑world scenarios. The company states these results support ongoing U.S. government evaluations, including the U.S. Air Force Shaw AFB Battle Lab CSO process and the Department of War’s MEIA Vulcan Call for Solutions.
Laser Photonics (NASDAQ:LASE) announced that subsidiary CMS Laser received a purchase order of approximately $1.05 million from a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company for a TD-70 high-speed tablet drilling system, marking a first-time purchase and entry into a new pharmaceutical manufacturing account.
The order covers a complete production line, including tablet handling tooling, conveyor transport, full IQ/OQ/PQ validation package, and on-site installation from CMS engineers. The TD-70 offers throughput up to 70,000 tablets per hour and a dual-camera vision system that inspects each tablet twice. According to Laser Photonics, the system will be built at CMS Laser’s Winter Park, Florida facility, and the company plans to increase investment in CMS Laser’s technology platform to support growth across pharmaceutical, medical device, and other regulated end markets.
