Services
For sign and engraving shops, makerspaces, school fab labs, cabinet shops and small manufacturers around Wichita.
Laser engraver & laser cutter repair
CO2 cutters and engravers, fiber markers and diode engravers. Weak cutting, no fire, crooked engraving, tubes, power supplies, Ruida and EZCAD.
Laser engraver maintenance
Flat-rate visits for one machine or a whole shop, with power measured every time so a failing tube shows up early.
Laser safety consulting & training
Hazard evaluations, NHZ calculations, written SOPs, operator training, labels and interlock testing for Class 3B and Class 4 lasers.
Test fixtures & measurement engineering
Custom test fixtures, sensor and data acquisition work, and purpose-built instruments, delivered with their design package.

What Every Visit Includes
I am an engineer, not a parts swapper. My background is instrumentation and R&D, and I built an industrial laser safety program from scratch at an aerospace manufacturer.
So the work gets measured and written down. When I leave you know what the machine was doing when I got there, what it is doing now, and what is going to need attention before long. If safety work is part of it, that happens on the same visit.
- 01
Before and after power measurement
Output power measured when I arrive and again before I leave, at settings written down in the report.
- 02
Coolant conductivity
Measured and recorded. Bad coolant is a slow, expensive way to lose a tube.
- 03
Findings
What was wrong, what I checked to prove it, and anything I noticed that is not broken yet but will be.
- 04
Parts
Everything I installed, with part numbers and what it replaced.
- 05
A written service report
Emailed after the visit. It is the record of what the machine measured that day, and it is yours to keep.

Glass CO2 Tube Regassing
I am developing a regassing service for glass CO2 tubes, aimed mainly at end-of-support or hard to find tubes, where replacement is expensive, rare, or slow to ship.

Engineering work behind the service. Service write-ups will go up here as jobs come in.
Laser Systems
Laser Process Automation — Analog Control Retrofit
Retrofit of a Class 4 laser cell to run its process parameters under automatic control: a custom voltage-controlled oscillator board, analog and digital integration across robot, PLC, and laser control, and as-built electrical documentation.

due for service?
Fill in the intake form with the machine details and what it is doing. I will come back with what I think is wrong and what it takes to fix, and whether we can sort it out over a video call instead of a visit.
