YOUR APPLICATION. THE STARTING POINT.

Laser Automation &
Custom Solutions

When your application needs more than a standard machine, start with the workpiece and production process. Share your requirements with HODA to discuss a suitable laser equipment configuration.

REVIEW THE COMPLETE WORKFLOW

What Does Your
Application Need?

Discuss the workpiece, process and handling requirements together. The following areas provide a starting point for defining the project scope.

01 / CONFIGURATION

Workholding & Fixtures

Workpiece geometry, loading access and repeatable positioning.

02 / CONFIGURATION

Motion & Multiple Stations

Part movement, process sequence and station layout.

03 / CONFIGURATION

Vibratory Feeding & Auto Loading

Discuss part feeding, loading and the marking sequence for your workpieces.

04 / CONFIGURATION

Vision & Identification

Positioning references, code reading and inspection needs.

05 / CONFIGURATION

Robotic Laser Welding

Robotic arm and laser welding head integration for metal enclosure welding.

06 / CONFIGURATION

Software & System Interfaces

Operator workflow, process records and interfaces with other equipment.

FROM REQUIREMENT TO DELIVERY

Delivered Project Examples

Two delivered projects show how laser equipment can be configured around the workpiece and the customer's production workflow.

01 / LASER MARKING · DELIVERED

Multi-Head 3D Marking for Packaging Bottles

THE REQUIREMENT: The customer needed to mark curved bottle surfaces and replace an inkjet process. Production throughput was also a concern with a single-head marking setup.
THE DELIVERED CONFIGURATION: A multi-head 3D laser marking configuration was integrated with the customer's existing fixtures and conveyor system.
INTEGRATION SCOPE: The project reused the customer's workholding and transport equipment, without adding dedicated fixtures.

02 / LASER WELDING · DELIVERED

Robotic Laser Welding for Metal Enclosures

THE REQUIREMENT: An electrical cabinet manufacturer needed to weld metal enclosures with a no-water-leakage requirement. The customer wanted to address welding angle, stability and consistency in manual welding.
THE DELIVERED CONFIGURATION: A laser welding head from a handheld welding system was mounted on a robotic arm for the enclosure welding task.
INTEGRATION SCOPE: The supplied configuration combined the robotic arm and welding head, without additional motion-system integration.

A CLEAR PROJECT PATH

From Application Review
to Delivery

Define the requirements early, review the application and agree on the equipment scope before moving into implementation.

Define the Application

Share your workpiece, process goals and production requirements.

Evaluate Samples & Concept

Review sample results and discuss a suitable system concept.

Agree & Build the System

Confirm the configuration, scope and acceptance requirements before implementation.

Verify & Support Delivery

Review the agreed checks and arrange delivery and support.

The project sequence and acceptance requirements are agreed for the specific application.

BEFORE WE START

Custom Project FAQs

Prepare the details that help us understand your application and discuss the next step.

What information should I send for a custom project?

Start with the material, workpiece dimensions, drawings or photos, required process and expected output. A short video of the current workflow can also help explain loading, handling and installation constraints.

Can you adapt a system to an existing production line?

Please share the line layout, equipment interfaces and available installation space. Integration feasibility and the scope of work need to be reviewed for the specific project before a commitment is made.

Can I test samples before deciding on a solution?

Yes. We accept customer samples for free application testing and can provide photos and videos of the results. Please contact us before shipping to confirm material suitability, the test objective and shipping arrangements.

Can one system combine several laser processes?

This needs a project-specific assessment. Tell us which operations you want to combine and the required production sequence. The proposed equipment, handling method and process requirements must be reviewed together.

How are lead time, installation and support agreed?

Lead time and delivery scope are confirmed in the quotation or contract. Available support methods, installation responsibilities and commissioning arrangements should be confirmed for the specific project.

What warranty and operating materials are provided?

Warranty terms follow the quotation or contract. Please confirm which operating videos, manuals and safety instructions are available for the selected configuration during the project discussion.
