Custom and Special Use Machines
Much of Bell Laser's business is in the engineering design and build of customized or special use laser machinery. We have inhouse engineering capable of 3D solid design modeling and construction of laser machines for cutting, marking, welding and cleaning.
If you have a unique or custom application, then contact us to help you pursue it.
Airbag cutting machine
With a fixed beam length from the laser to the part, there is rarely a need for beam alignment. Further, the accuracy of the laser mode is best with fixed beam. This small footprint machine uses a fixture to load and unload the parts quickly so the cycle time is very short.
Laser Trimming Molded Parts of Flash
Utilizing a combined high speed galvo mirror system mounted on an XY table, the molded parts are laser trimmed of flash. This high speed process increases prodution in automation. Some buyers utilize robotics to position the molded part, laser trim, then unload trimmed parts and place in stacking trays for removal.
High Speed Laser Cross Cutting in Production Line
A 3000 watt laser powered a high speed laser cross cutter that cut kevlar and aramid at two meters per second.
Laser Retrofit on Haas VF-3
Upgraded Haas Automation vertical machining center to include high power laser cutting.
Laser Cutting Automotive Headliner
Custom laser machine to handle rolled material and laser cut on automotive production line.
Custom HMI Programming for Touchscreen
Proof of Concept
The buyer wanted to increase the laser perforation rate on their paper products in the production line. Our lab setup a 1500 watt laser and successfully demonstrated laser perforation at 6 meters per second.
Product Sample Prototyping for Automotive
A large automobile manufacturer's R&D department requested laser samples for a Concept Car to be demonstrated in Europe. The laser etched samples reflect light to improve automotive headlight performance.
A Titanium Fabricator wanted quality improvement for cut edges.
Our company laser cut titanium samples and demonstrated an improvement in edge quality over traditional machining methods.
Laser Welding Plastics
Using a CO2 laser and a specialized optic for welding, plastic fabric was welded in order to replace traditional hot wire cut and weld techniques.
Laser Trimming Webbing on Production Line
As a noncontact cutting device, laser cutting can replace knife trimming thus increasing yield on continuous web products. In this example, the traditional knife cutting pulled at the web, so the knife position needed to be a good distance from the actual web edge. However, the laser applied negligable force when laser trimming so it was placed nearer to the edge of the web. As the web product is sold by weight, the manufacturer increased yield by several percentage points.
Laser Trimming Robot for Interior Automotive Plastic Parts
aser trimming offers the advantages of smooth polished edges when trimming interior automotive parts. This hexapod laser, also known as a drunken bar stool, uses parallel movement to precisely move the angled part for laser trimming.
Laser Trade-In Value
Bell Laser provides trade-in re-imbursement on new laser machines (some conditions apply). Below is a trade-in on a lower power laser for a higher power laser. The trade in laser is a Coherent K-500 with power supply and chiller.

Laser Laboratory Apparatus
Often, we utilize our advanced optical, beam delivery, and laser technology in order to perform research and development at the initial stages of a production laser machinery project. By using the best equipment and components available today, we can determine all options that can be pursued in order to provide the lowest cost and highest productivity laser machinery.
Our testing facilities include various laser types and power levels, a variety of technologies to pulse lasers either internally or externally, including optics, electro-mechanical, electronics, and more. As more published papers state today, pulsing lasers through different methods can help to identify the best quality/speed mix.
Laser Processing Library
Our approach to a laser application is first to review all the research on the topic, then devise approaches for laser processing, and then begin lab testing. Often times, our competitors begin by taking samples and get their laser at-hand and set a speed and make a few attempts. Unfortunately, many production houses are misled by this risky approach and never pursue laser machinery because the samples did not turn out and they were told that the laser quality was not good. Our laser lab is vital to our success and we pride ourselves on our capabilities and ability to apply lasers in new and novel ways in order to meet our buyer's custom machinery requirements.
