In March 2026, Richardson Electronics unveiled a new product called LaserSlat SAVER. This product is intended to enhance the efficiency of industrial laser cutting processes, which are used in a variety of industrial environments. The product was developed to address the challenges that are experienced by metal fabrication plants, which often face the problem of molten metal slag accumulation on the slats supporting the laser cutting tables. This often results in a reduction of the efficiency of the processes, as the slats have to be cleaned or replaced from time to time.
Reducing Maintenance and Production Interruptions
This newly introduced product is used as a protective treatment for the slats that hold the metal sheets during laser cutting. The protective treatment reduces adhesions between the cut material and the surface of the slats. This reduces the maintenance time for the cutting table since it is easier to remove the adhesions. The company claims that this product can be used with high-power industrial laser cutting machines which are commonly used in modern fabrication plants where laser cutting is a key process for improving productivity.
The global laser technologies in manufacturing market size was calculated at USD 15.70 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 17.16 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 38.20 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 9.30% from 2026 to 2035 as the demand grows for precise cutting, welding and marking in industries such as automotive, electronics and aerospace.
Relevance for Laser Based Manufacturing
Industrial laser cutting machines are used in a variety of industries, including the automotive, aerospace and heavy equipment sectors. This is because the machines can cut metal sheets with a high level of precision, however, the accumulation of molten metal on the slats results in a reduction of efficiency of the processes. LaserSlat SAVER is intended to prevent molten debris from bonding to the slats, which would enable manufacturers to have smoother cutting processes. Overall, the innovations that improve the equipment performance and help to minimize maintenance needs are likely to contribute to the ongoing expansion of laser technology application in the global manufacturing industry.
A recent report by Precedence Research highlights that the laser technologies in manufacturing market is benefiting from increasing industrial automation, advancements in fiber laser technology, and the need for efficient manufacturing processes.
