Our laser technology creates endless possibilities in laser welding and material processing for industries including automotive, aerospace, material processing and more. We are the first company in the world to develop dynamic beam laser solutions based on Coherent Beam Combining Technology to give manufacturers total control over how their laser performs in order to meet any welding situation at high power levels. Laser welding has become a vital and essential component of the manufacturer’s process. It is involved in aerospace, automotive, additive manufacturing and more. When this welding innovation was introduced, it revolutionized manufacturing by providing the ability to create stronger welds at greater speeds. Manufacturing has since evolved to include more complex welding scenarios like asymmetric parts and complex alloys. Currently, manufacturers resort to using temporary solutions that are often inconvenient, time-consuming and expensive. Complex and changing manufacturing conditions and demands inspired the creation of Civan Lasers. The answer to change is change itself. And so, Civan Lasers created the world’s first Dynamic Beam Laser. All of Civan’s lasers feature our patented dynamic beam shaping technology. Our Products include: The OPA 6 laser: an 8 - 16kW Single Mode Continuous wave designed for cutting, welding, metal additive manufacturing processing and drilling. The OPA 12: a 50 - 100kW Single Mode Continuous-wave designed for cutting and welding a variety of difficult materials. Green Laser: a 150-500W Single Mode 532nm with 500KHz power modulation. Our 1,000 square meter facilities are located in Jerusalem and include state-of-the-art clean rooms, optical laboratories, manufacturing infrastructure as well as our application lab for pre-trial testing to enable proof of concept. Civan Lasers is ISO 9001 certified.
