INTRODUCTION

For the past 14 years, Laser Products Industries has

focused on supplying lasers to help identify and provide
the means to gather information on irregular and
inappropriate job conditions and to accurately correct
them or fabricate finished products to match.

According to Doug Novac of Laser Product Industries,

“When you have been involved in this profession for a
number of years, you hear all of the hype and promises
about new tools that will make your life easier and your
time more productive”, he explained when asked about
his work experience and views.

Founded in the year 1994,Laser Product Industries is a

group of companies/industries that work on the main
motive of simplifying the work that a user has to go
through by making and developing products that a user
can use to get the job done while eliminating the excess
expenditure charged by professionals.
The Laser Products Industries recruit fresh candidates
right out of high schools ,focusing on the candidates with
the abilities to not crack under pressure and understand
the working of the new fast world. These candidates are
required to be fluent in more than one language to b
eligible for the tech support position.
 COMPANY BACKGROUND
Laser Projects Industries was founded in
1994,Romeovile,IRELAND.It is founded with a core
technical group of the former high tech local
company,LaserResearch, specialized in precision laser
material processing for HDD media. LPI has officially
purchased all the laser measuring machine and inventory
and laser testing equipment and other assets together
under the entrepreneurship of Dan Louis.
Laser Products Industries is focusing the teams

FOCUS:-
Laser Product Industries have focused on

designing, building, and supplying lasers to identify

and gather job site job conditions. Once gathered, this

information can be used to accurately fabricate finished

products to match.
Our industry focus began in the flooring and construction
industries providing the SL-24 Laser Square to help
salesman easily determine if floors and walls were square,
flat and/or level before a job was quoted. Using laser
beams extending out of the unit at a 90º and 45º angles,
users were able to accomplished this and also allowed for
quick grid layouts for tile.

Currently, our main focus has shifted towards the

countertop and millwork industries. With the advent of the
LT-55 XL and more recently the LT-2D3D Laser Templators,
efficiency and accuracy of digital templating kitchens,
offices, and cabinet bases has be greatly improved while
reducing cost and completion time.

We have recently started working in the fabric and

composite industries. Both have expressed a desire to
bring the same efficiency, accuracy, and reduced cost of
production that we are known for with countertops and
millwork to their industries.

Our lasers have received multiple awards including the

AWFS Sequoia Award for Product Innovation and the TISE
(The International Surface Event) Best Product of 2015. The
Best Product of 2015 award was voted on by industry
leaders including the Marble Institute of America and
Stone World Magazine.
 VISION:-

Tracey Ryba, Product Manager for Lasers at North

America, explains what makes diode lasers so
different.
“No matter which laser technology you’re talking about,
they have the same three components: the active
medium, the excitation and the optical cavity,” he says.
“Typically, over the past 10 years, diodes have been
used to pump the fiber or disk laser, but as the
technology has changed, we’ve seen an explosion of
diode technology in the beam quality, or the diode
brightness. This has improved dramatically, so we’re
now able to actually take those pump diodes and
couple them right into the fibers. This way, you’re not
actively pumping the medium anymore.

“With CO2, you’re using electricity to pump the gas;

with fiber and disk, you’re using diodes to pump; and
now we’re able to actually take that diode that was
pumping those mediums, take the diode light itself, and
combine it directly into the fiber and deliver it to the
work piece. That’s really what the evolution of diode
technology has been over the past five or seven years;
it has changed the landscape.” In other words, direct-
diode lasers cut out the middleman, and by so doing,
they offer much higher rates of efficiency.
“If you’re looking at CO2 lasers, they offer about 10
percent wall-plug efficiency,” says Ryba. “Fiber and
disk lasers are about 30 percent wall-plug efficient
burning energy, while diode lasers are currently around
about 40 percent wall-plug efficient and probably
approaching closer to 50 percent in the coming years.
With diode lasers, you’re basically removing parts of
the laser, and you’re actually just using the pump part,
so it becomes a very efficient process.”
Along with the increased wall-plug efficiency, Gaebler
also points out that diode lasers generate less heat. “To
contrast that, with CO2 lasers, you have to have water
and cooling, and the cooling apparatuses are bigger
and more complex than the laser itself, because you
have to remove all this heat – that wave heat that’s
produced because of the inefficiency of the conversion
from electricity to light.”

According to TRUMPF, the TruDiode 6006 provides

6000 W of power at a wavelength of 920-1040 nm, and
it’s designed for laser brazing, deep penetration
welding, heat conduction welding and laser welding of
plastics.

Currently, the main applications of direct-diode lasers

are heat treating and cladding, and for both of these
processes, direct-diode lasers are extremely useful.
Given their unique properties, they allow users to
selectively heat whatever material with which they’re
working.
Gaebler gives an example for heat treating. “You can
heat a gear tooth, a tool edge or something similar with
this laser beam, and it only heats up those first few
microns, especially because it’s absorbed relatively
well. You don’t distort the part, and the other thing is
that, because you’re heating it so selectively, as soon
as you turn the laser off, the air generally quenches it.
You generally don’t require any kind of an active
quench. You’ve eliminated all those extra steps. It’s
blasted with a laser, it hardens exactly the spot that you
want, and nothing else, and boom, you’re done. In
general, there is minimal or no post processing
required. That’s the huge advantage.”

Given all the advantages of diode lasers, one might

wonder why they’re not yet used for cutting sheet
metal. The answer is that, in almost all cases, direct-
diode lasers aren’t able to produce the brightness
necessary for cutting operations.

“Everybody’s working on that as the ultimate goal. Not

just TRUMPF, but all the companies,” says Ryba.
“We’re already able to do it in a lab-type of
environment, so now it’s just getting that to the
industrial level. The technology has improved in getting
higher brightness out of diodes. That technology
changes every year, and as the technology evolves, we
will bring it to the marketplace.”
Ryba predicts that job shops could see direct-diode
lasers capable of cutting steel on the market within the
next five years. It might even happen much sooner, but,
in any case, the next several years are going to be very
interesting for laser cutting technology, and the
landscape is about to be revolutionized.

In fact, FAB Shop Magazine Direct is currently

scrutinizing a breaking new development in direct-diode
laser technology that has just been released. It
promises commercial diode lasers capable of cutting
steel, and it will likely start to spread out in the market
soon. We expect to have the details for you in a future
issue of our about-to-be-released sister publication.
 RECRUITMENT:-
The recruitment is a fairly simple process as compared to
that of selection. The selection process in case of Laser
Product Industries however is a quite hefty process as the
company selects the best out of the best by conducting
the selection process. Which brings out the best of the
candidates.

But this is not as simple as it looks, as the firm ensures

that the selected candidate is the right person for the
job. As the selected candidate must show his abilities to
the firm before he is appointed at a post.
 SELECTION:-
The selection process is done by Doug Novac and Aatif
Marker. As of October 29, 2013, the company
had approximately 80,300 full-time
employees world-wide. All of which had been
through the strict requirement to be one of
the employees of World’s 2nd largest
information technology company.

Each applicants need to go through 3 to 4

rounds of interviews, that is if LASER
INDUSTRIES is satisfied with the resumes
you’ve given them. Details of the first
interview will be notified to the candidates
after about 2 to 4 weeks.

The first interview will be a group interview.

Applicants will be set in a group setting with
about 10 other candidates. During this first
interview, the current employees will ask each
candidate a series of social questions, social
and more of a people person would be what
LASER INDUSTRIES really wants. During this
interview as well, the candidates will also be
present for several role-play scenarios in
which they get to act both as the employee
and as the customer. Each parts of the
interview will be carefully screened, even the
interactions between candidates. The most
important point was to dress properly, smile
and ask questions.

If the candidates have passed the first

interviews, then there will be a background
check.

The second interview will be notified within 2

to 6 days or a week span and a phone call or
emial will be received by each candidate who
had passed the first one. They will be asked
about their opinion on LASER products, about
their interest of job position , etc. This phone
call interview might last several minutes and
the candidate will be ask to come in person
for another interview in which they will be
asked of their past experience and how to
handle certain situations and many other
things. The interview will be done one on one
with the area manger.

For the third interview, every response of the

candidate might be evaluated, like will the
candidate respond with a question or a
situation. It might also be possible that they
were told not to wear anything formal like
shirt and tie, so in conclusion they might also
be evaluated by their clothing. The questions
asked in the third interviews would most likely
similar to the last 2 interviews about how they
past experience and how to handle certain
situations. This interview will be done one on
one with the general manager.

For the last interview, the candidate will be

ask to come into another one on one
interview with the head manager/high level
manager. At first, it might be like the past
three interviews, some standard questions
were asked, but it might get to more
personalized question about the past of the
candidates. The interview might last for 20
minutes and it was said that the candidate
will be notified within 3 to a week span.

The rejection which happen to most of the

applicants will be notified either using emails
or phone calls, but it was more common that
it will be done through emails.
