Can you please tell us about your company and its journey since its inception? 

Trailblazer would be the right word to describe Sahajanand Laser Technology Ltd (SLTL).The company invented fiber laser cutting machine, that went on to become the game changer for the metal forming industry.

The innovation is into the foundation of this organisation, as just after its establishment, Dr. Arvind Patel, Founder of SLTL invented fiber laser cutting machine. Eventually Sahajanand Laser Technology Ltd emerged as the first Indian company accounted for laser revolution across the globe. With an aim to make metal forming process simpler and quicker than ever, SLTL inaugurated the operations in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

The inception of our service diversification took place in 1995, since then we expanded into multiple disciplines across the spectrum which are: cutting, marking, welding, micro machining, solar cell scribing/ cutting, diamond processing and scanning. We explored aforementioned domains keeping laser at the center of our deliverables. SLTL is a global leader in Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) Laser services, a highly advanced service.

Please tell us about one your latest innovation in the laser machining. 

Generic micromachining capabilities and laser micromachining & precision system are to name a few.

In recent years, we have seen that the devices such as mobiles are getting compact like never before. The manufacturing of such compact devices are enabled through micromachining.

Micromachining is a term that refers to the processing over the small and micro objects. Though the technology is into action since long, use of laser in micromachining has taken the precision at unprecedented height.
