Laser Photonics, Fonon Technologies Deliver Training at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & IMF for Effective Use of Laser Technology
January 3, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, in partnership with its sister company Fonon Technologies, announced the completion of training on the safe and optimal use of a DefenseTech laser system earlier purchased by the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF).
Fonon Technologies and Laser Photonics conducted a two-part training on the effective use of the DefenseTech MRLS Portable Finishing Laser 1010 (DTMF-1010) for a group of shipyard personnel at PHNSY & IMF. The session consisted of safety training and hands-on practice with the ultra-compact, portable pulsed fiber laser system designed for naval applications such as small-scale de-oxidation, rust control, top-layer coating removal and micro-surface polishing.
"We are excited to bring PHNSY-IMF up to speed on the safe and effective use of our advanced laser systems," said Bryan Lee, Vice President of Fonon Technologies. "Proper handling ensures that laser-powered tools provide consistent, reliable performance for years. At Fonon Technologies, we proudly help make that happen with our extensive, hands-on training program."
This program highlights Fonon Technologies and Laser Photonics' commitment to providing top-tier laser solutions to naval bases, dry docks, boatyards, and marinas, solidifying their reputation in the defense industry.
DefenseTech laser systems present a sustainable approach to surface preparation in defense and naval MRO settings, eliminating the need for toxic chemicals and abrasive media, thus reducing secondary waste and health risks for operators. These systems efficiently remove corrosion, coatings, oil, wax and residue while preserving the integrity of critical components, ensuring operational readiness and extending equipment lifespan.
