Control Laser: There is value in these older laser systems.

Randy Lusignan — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:54:00 GMT

The use of lasers and their applications can be very diverse. This "diversity" can often lead to confusion and uncertainty when evaluating system value, especially older lasers.

With the introduction of newer technologies like Diode, Fiber and Disc, many customers find themselves perplexed and often confused, thinking they must replace their older lasers with this current technology. There are many aspects of these newer technologies that are never disclosed to potential customers, and in many situations, they simply are not the best solution for their applications.

TJS, Inc. offers our customers an un-biased, knowledgeable solution for maintaining and providing comprehensive support, laser service and laser repairs for your existing CLC products. Since we are not a laser manufacturer, there is no added pressure to sell you a laser to replace your "older" system. We have found in most situations, these lasers are adequately fulfilling the production and reliability requirements they were originally sold and intended to address by the same OEM trying to sell you a new laser!

At TJS, we offer 100% support for all Control Laser systems including Signature, Elite, Script, Insignia, Icon, Condor and ProWriter.

We would be happy to discuss your system, application or any maintenance questions you may have. Our vast inventory contains many original manufacturer components for these lasers. These critical items are always available for immediate overnight shipment. Our Repair Department provides repair services for critical subcomponents like RF-Driver, Lamp Power Supply, Control & Power Distribution Boards, Nd:YAG rod resurfacing, Galvanometers and Mirrors along with much more.

One of the primary concerns with these older systems is the operating system and associated hardware. TJS offers our Prolase-ProLase7 Laser Software Demo software and hardware upgrades for all Control Laser systems. With our Prolase upgrade, we remove all proprietary and obsolete OEM hardware and software. In turn, we replace these items with a single PC using Windows XP or Window 7 operating systems. All hardware installed by TJS is off the shelf and available from many alternate sources including TJS. This design and philosophy provides our customers long term solutions for their investment.

At TJS, we are committed to customer satisfaction. Contact us today to discuss our full support capabilities and we will offer you an additional $500.00 discount off our Prolase upgrades!

Technical Support and Laser Repair for a Control Laser Signature

Randy Lusignan — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:32:00 GMT

Hello Randy.

Thanks for the update. I sent the message to the warehouse crew to try and coordinate this-I have been tied up in meetings. This time of year is very busy- budgets, evaluations, goals for next year, equipment planning,etc. I sent our PLC guy over for moral support. Again, I really appreciate your support in helping us resolve this. It is not frequent that we get a vendor that is so proactive in troubleshooting.

We will get ours installed and repeat the procedure once it arrives. Again, thank you.

Dave

Custom Laser Marking System Integration

Randy Lusignan — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 15:31:00 GMT

Dear Randy,

All 3 items have been tested and work properly.

Thank you for all of your help, time, and assistance.

This was a successful custom laser integration.

Thanks,

John

**Notes**

The “custom laser system integration” was a Prolase 7 Server custom upgrade for a dual system, Control Laser 75W Signature flashlamp pumped laser system. TJS wrote an extensive custom GUI interface for this particular application with material handling, database access and custom information. The customer was very pleased with our overall performance and product.

Laser Field Service For Baasel/AB Systems

Randy Lusignan — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:30:00 GMT

Hello Randy,

Recently, we had our Carl Baasel/AB Laser system serviced by your TJS Field Service Engineer. I would just like to re-emphasize how pleased we were with the great service and professionalism demonstrated by him in repairing and tuning our Laser to nearly the original factory specs.

When he arrived, the unit was not only intermittent but only putting our approximately 1/3 of its rated power. I'm pleased to say that his expertise has not only improved our productivity, but the unit is no longer a challenge to merely operate. I know of what I speak. I am a certified electronics technician with over 35 years of experience in electronics and have spent time as a field service technician as well. You can bet that we will recommend TJS to our sister companies and other companies as well for all of their laser needs. Thanks to TJS for a splendid job.

**Notes**

This was an A-B Laser LBI6000 Comp 2 laser. TJS completed a complete service Preventive Maintenance Program on this unit.

Laser Field Service and Repair for Engraver

Randy Lusignan — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 15:30:00 GMT

I wanted you to know that Harry was a huge help for me yesterday. He helped me to get my laser engraver back up and running, and he did it with a smile. I pestered him mercilessly and he took it all in stride!

I wanted to thank you and him for a job well done, every time I speak with some one from TJS Lasers I become a little happier with my decision to use you instead of that other laser company up the street. That was one of the smartest things I have done. Keep up the good work.

TJS Laser Repair Services Reduce Operator Frustration

Randy Lusignan — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:29:00 GMT

Randy,

By now I’m sure the RF driver would have faulted several times but after the adjustment of +1/2 turn, it’s been functioning well.

Thanks to Karen for a rapid turnaround of the module. The unit is noticeably more powerful than anytime in the past, even after the OEM had a hand at repairing it a few years back.

I’m pleased our mutual friend put me on to you guys, he saw I was about ready to push the unit off the loading dock.

Jeffrey

**Notes**

This repair is for a Control Laser Insignia LX900. TJS also repaired their Insignia LX900 laser module.
