TJS Ships the First Endeavor Fiber Laser System
After 35+ years of servicing and repairing laser we have shipped the first laser marking system...
After decades in the industrial laser industry, we've learned something that might surprise you: most manufacturing operations don't need more laser power or fancy features – they need systems specifically designed for their unique applications.
I recently visited a manufacturing facility where an expensive laser marking system sat mostly unused in the corner. The production manager explained they had purchased it based on impressive specifications, but it wasn't properly matched to their specific application. This scenario plays out more often than you might think.
The industrial laser market is filled with systems designed to make integration companies' lives easier – not yours. Many manufacturers try to fit your operation into their standardized modules or designs, simplifying their production but often complicating yours.
At TJS Lasers, we've built, repaired, and serviced virtually every type of laser workstation imaginable since 1980. This hands-on experience has taught us what truly works in real-world manufacturing environments.
Our approach is different. We start by understanding your specific challenges before recommending a solution. This consultative process ensures you get a system that integrates seamlessly with your existing workflow and delivers the precise results your application requires.
Our flagship product is a turn-key, Class 1 fully enclosed fiber laser workstation built on a substantial 36" x 24" work platform with 0.375" aluminum plate.
What makes the J-Series RETRO stand out is that it includes numerous features as standard that other manufacturers typically charge extra for.
The RETRO system features our automated "JOG" Z-axis with incremental manual motorized adjustment, allowing operators to make precise movements down to 0.0005" increments. Our exclusive TJS Axis Server Control provides real-time position location and adjustments for all motorized axes directly on your computer display – eliminating the need for additional costly equipment like digital readouts or gauges.
Our RETRO system provides a perfect solution for operations with functional automation or workstations that simply need a laser upgrade. Designed to replace existing flash lamp, diode pump, CO2, or other laser systems, the RETRO allows you to keep your current workstation infrastructure while gaining the benefits of modern fiber laser technology.
With its small footprint and versatile interface, the RETRO offers remarkable flexibility. It can be mounted on virtually any platform, including existing automation, conveyors, and other part-processing infrastructure. All systems are air-cooled and operate on standard 120V AC power, making integration straightforward and operation cost-effective.
When standard solutions don't fit your manufacturing challenges, we design and build custom workstations tailored to your requirements. These systems can incorporate a wide range of components:
Perhaps most impressive is our track record for reliability. Since introducing the Endeavor line of fiber lasers in 2014, we've maintained a 100% no-failure rate in the field. This isn't marketing hyperbole – it's a documented fact reflecting our engineering philosophy of eliminating common failure points.
We're so confident in our designs that we offer an unprecedented 3-year warranty on our fiber lasers – substantially longer than industry standards.
Our customers consistently report significant improvements after implementing our custom laser solutions:
Every Endeavor system is designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA. This commitment to domestic production allows us to maintain rigorous quality control and provide responsive, expert support.
When you contact us for support, you speak directly with the engineers who designed and built your system – not a customer service representative reading from a script. This integration between our design, manufacturing, and support teams creates a continuous cycle of improvement that keeps our laser systems at the forefront of the industry.
What truly sets TJS Lasers apart isn't just our custom laser systems—it's our approach to partnership. We don't see ourselves as equipment vendors but as extensions of your manufacturing team. Our goal is to listen to your experts, understand their challenges, and leverage our four decades of laser expertise to create solutions that deliver the results you need.
Whether you're marking precision medical devices, creating deep engravings in tool steel, or adding permanent identification to industrial components, we have the experience and capabilities to design a laser system specifically for your application.
After all, in manufacturing, one size rarely fits all. Your unique challenges deserve custom solutions.
We also build Class I enclosures for our Endeavor J-Series Fiber laser and for other laser types.
