LASER PHOTONICS AND FONON TECHNOLOGIES PARTNERSHIP WITH NOBLE DELIVERS TAA-COMPLIANT LASER SOLUTIONS, TRANSFORMING MARINE BASE READINESS
Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC) (NASDAQ: LASE), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, in partnership with Fonon Technologies, proudly announced that they have completed delivery for one major order, facilitated by NOBLE, for the fully Trade Agreements Act (TAA)-compliant DefenseTech MRLS Finishing laser systems (DTMF-1030) (DTMF-1030).
This advanced system will be deployed at a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, significantly enhancing their maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities. This collaboration underscores Laser Photonics' commitment to equipping the U.S. military with cutting-edge, domestically sourced technologies for mission-critical environments.
'This partnership with NOBLE not only amplifies our reach, but it also represents a strategic investment in the future of military readiness,' said Bryan Lee, Vice President of Fonon Technologies. 'By deploying TAA-compliant DefenseTech laser systems, we are not only addressing immediate MRO needs but also laying a pivotal foundation for a more agile and sustainable defense infrastructure. These advanced solutions empower our forces, across the defense landscape, to maintain peak operational effectiveness in an increasingly complex world.'
The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requires that products offered for sale to the U.S. government, military, and critical infrastructure clients be manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or designated countries. This ensures that taxpayer dollars support domestic manufacturing and strengthens American national security. TAA compliance is a critical factor in government procurement decisions.
Leveraging the expertise gained in achieving TAA compliance for the DTMF-1030, Laser Photonics is now applying this knowledge to the Fonon Technologies DefenseTech Blaster Cabinet (DTMF-4020). This innovative, self-contained system combines the power of a fiber laser with a handheld laser-blasting head within a compact 30' x 26' workspace. Uniquely designed for speed, precision, safety, and flexibility, the DTMF-4020 is an industrial laser blasting cabinet manufactured in accordance with CDRH FDA requirements. The forthcoming TAA classification will position it as the sole solution of its kind available to U.S. government agencies and the military.
The DTMF-4020's dual-axis technology enables optimized processing of intricate and uneven surfaces, making it perfect for achieving fine, polished finishes and handling delicate small-scale projects. The high-quality Class I system features an enclosed cleaning area for additional safety and can be deployed wherever needed. Key uses include surface conditioning, corrosion and decontamination removal, coating removal, pre-adhesion and pre-weld treatment, post-weld treatment, degreasing, surface preparation and texturing, injection mold cleaning, and oxide and anodization removal.
The DefenseTech product line provides cost-effective, time-efficient, and operator safe surface treatment solutions, preserving vital military equipment and weapons systems without compromising the integrity of the underlying materials.
