Power with precision.

high performance laser source & beam steering technologies for process & system integration

Light at work

The use of advanced laser technology in manufacturing and production environments continues to revolutionize many industries. From the latest additive manufacturing and micromachining processes, to advanced packaging and material converting, high energy photons are changing the face of next generation manufacturing beyond recognition, bringing unprecedented levels of precision, production efficiency, and mass customization to these applications.


Novanta holds a unique capability in this field, being a manufacturer of both the laser source AND the beam steering technology. This enables us to develop products that are specifically engineered to work in perfect harmony, deep within complex manufacturing environments. During our 50 years heritage in developing laser based manufacturing technologies, we’ve built up expertise that is the envy of the industry — from our unique ultra-high performance laser mirror technology, all the way to our unique and much revered high reliability DPSS, Diode, Ultrafast, and CO2 laser technologies.

Laser Beam Steering

Our heritage in steering laser beams spans over 3 decades, driven by an unrelenting desire to push the boundaries of physics. Our pioneering galvanometer and polygon scanning technology, and our long term investment in unique mirror technologies, can be found deep inside some of the most critical medical and industrial processes in existence today.

Find out more below about how our laser scanning products are transforming industries, and how we can help you to take your scanning application up to and beyond the edge!

Laser Sources

Novanta is a leading manufacturer of ultra performance laser sources for a wide variety of medical, industrial, and research applications. Our unique expertise in laser cavity design, beam shaping, power handling and ultrafast technologies have enabled us to offer some of the most innovative lasers available today. It’s for this reason that you’ll find our lasers deep inside many of today’s most exciting applications — from DNA and protein sequencing systems all the way to semiconductor metrology. Read more below about our core products and unique customization capabilities in laser technology.

Laser Sub Systems

Being the manufacturer of both laser and scanner technologies, we hold a unique capability. This important synergy enables us to offer true ‘fully integrated’ laser scanning sub systems, where every element of the system has guaranteed compatibility. What’s more, the entire sub system has the benefit of being controlled by our powerful, and widely used SMC software ecosystem, further simplifying your journey to integrating all-in-one laser scanning technology into your process.

Together with our global field applications teams, and our six strategically located application labs, you can be assured that wherever you’re located, we’re ready to help you shorten and simplify your laser sub system integration journey! Read more about our unique sub system capability below.
