NUBURU wins BlueScan order for coil and motor winding production
NUBURU Inc of Centennial, CO, USA — which was founded in 2015 and develops and manufactures high-power industrial blue lasers — has received a purchase order for its BlueScan solution from a “worldwide leader in coil and motor winding and assembly systems to produce electric motors”. BlueScan includes a BL-250 laser, scanner and optics that will be supplied to the customer’s R&D lab where the automotive solenoid manufacturing production process will be validated.
Historically, arc welding is used for this application, but is limited by production speed as well as frequently required post-welding processing. By comparison, the BlueScan solution enables wire to post welding without porosity or the spatter associated with arc welding or infrared fiber lasers. NUBURU’s solution is faster and enables the high yield needed for mass production.
“While we continue expanding our product offering to more high-growth industries and applications, I’m excited about the extension of our BL-250 laser system within the E-mobility market, as it represents one of the largest and fastest-growing serviceable addressable market for NUBURU,” says CEO Brian Knaley.
The firm says that the order is a natural extension of its advancement into next-generation computers, consumer electronics and communication (3C) device manufacturing and marks a significant expansion in offering to the growing electric vehicle (EV) automotive industry.
