In the last few years, the demand and usage of laser machines in the Indian market are increasing exponentially. This market is predominantly driven by the additive manufacturing, Electronics, Defence,
and automotive industry especially the Electric Vehicles sector, demanding laser-based solutions like welding, precision cutting, marking, cladding, surface treatment, and so on. Proving to be quite the lucrative sector, there is an influx of vendors making it a highly competitive market.
However, the laser market is fragmented with roughly half of the market share going to cost-effective machines manufactured in China, with the rest focusing on local and international integrators. Customers majorly expect the solution provider to deliver superior levels of Quality, Service, Automation and Customization. While selecting the right solution provider to partner with, customers need to also ensure their demands for trained manpower, quality machines, application experts, and safety requirements are met.
Light Mechanics, headquartered in Bangalore, is one of the fastest-growing Indian OEM providing solutions for Laser-based Special Purpose
Machines (SPMs). Its portfolio consists of Laser Welding, Laser Cleaning, Laser Marking and Laser Cutting Machines, reliable machines built along with high European standards. “We have expertise in Technology, R&D, a responsive supply chain, flexible production techniques and comprehensive internal reporting structure providing us optimal efficiency in production resulting in better ROI,” says Shipra Sinha, Head of Marketing & Corporate Communication, Light Mechanics.
Comprehensive Solutions and Services for E-Vehicles and Li-ion Battery Manufacturing
In conjunction with these offerings, the company leverages its extremely experienced and skilled workforce to manage all automation and customization requirements.
