Intro to Universal’s ULTRA series of laser processing systems
Why are we so excited about Universal’s ULTRA series of laser processing systems? Because it allows our customers to meet market challenges head on. It is that good. In this article, we discuss the ULTRA series, market challenges and laser system selection with Universal’s Global Vice President of Sales, Service and Business Development.
“Distribution partners such as Laser 2000 are our customer facing sales channel. They also gather feedback about desired features or challenges our customers are facing. And, because our systems are used by industry leaders in fields such as medical devices, electronics, and R&D, this is highly relevant and valuable feedback. Since the launch of the Ultra series, we’ve continually integrated new capabilities into the product, ranging from enhanced features to improved functionality and usability of the software.”
Meeting the ever-increasing demands from the markets his company serves, is Mike Flanary’s goal for the ULTRA product line. Universal’s Global Vice President of Sales, Service and Business Development says this line is key for the company’s transformation and they see growing demand for their ULTRA product line.
ULTRA Laser Processing Systems
The ULTRA series consists of the following systems:
- ULTRA X6000
- ULTRA R5000
- ULTRA R9000
The X6000 is the range’s flagship system, it is the best of the best in laser processing systems. With the X6000, customers get the highest level of accuracy and repeatability, the widest possible range of capabilities, and unparalleled control. And, with Universal’s patented MultiWave Hybrid™ technology it is even possible to combine three different laser wavelengths simultaneously.
“The key question for customers is what laser processing requirements do you have now, and how do you envision laser material processing helping your business achieve more in the future? Answering these questions and helping customers discover what is possible with our ULTRA technology will determine which system is the best fit. We help our customers figure that out by analyzing the dimensional tolerances, quality standards, and throughput requirements in combination with the material being processed to select the optimal configuration of our systems. During this process, market developments and subsequent future requirements are also considered.”
Contact Laser 2000 for more information about the Universal’s ULTRA series of laser processing systems. Together, we can take the first step in determining what system is best suited to your needs. If needed, we can work closely with Universal to further support your organization.
Meeting market challenges
“Our customers are mainly found in manufacturing, research and development, academic research, and high-tech prototyping environments. And their requirements are becoming more aggressive by the year,” says Mike. “Tighter tolerances, increased performance demands of the materials, aesthetics, and the increased importance of improving cycle times. The ULTRA series of high-accuracy laser material processing systems is designed to help customers meet these challenges for years to come.”
Universal is focusing on three separate customer groups: Original Equipment Manufacturers, Tier 1 OEM suppliers, and material manufacturers. This approach ensures that companies realize the benefits of using the ULTRA to fabricate parts or design new capabilities. Either by unlocking the benefits of working with high performance materials, developing or prototyping new ideas, and, ultimately, allowing for the large scale, specialized contract manufacturing of parts.
Laser system selection
Universal’s ULTRA laser system series offers market leading features designed to help our customers meet the ever-increasing demands in their market. Some key features to consider:
- MultiWave Hybrid™ technology allows for the combination of up to 3 laser wavelengths to unlock new materials, achieve higher accuracy and improve ease of use
- Firmware and software upgrades ensure the systems will continue to deliver significant value, now and in the years to come
- High accuracy autofocus combined with a state-of-the-art motion system provides extreme levels of processing accuracy, quality, and repeatability across the idest range of materials
- Process development support to help determine the optimal parameters and configuration of your system
