Development Period

2000 to 2019: Became the first machinery manufacturer to sell fiber laser oscillators

In 2007, we built a dedicated laser factory in Fujinomiya. In 2010, we became the first machinery manufacturer to develop a fiber laser oscillator and launched the FOL-3015AJ, a laser machine equipped with the oscillator. Japanese companies had been procuring oscillators from U.S. makers which held the majority of the global market share. By developing our own oscillators, we became able to compete in all areas, from cost and delivery time to after-sales service.
