QiOVA has successfully designed and developed the programmable multi beam technology shaping OEM systems, thus boosting the efficacy and profitability of laser material processing. QiOVA is a French company founded in 2011 with a specialization in the fields of laser and photonics. QiOVA is a trailblazer in the development of programmable laser beam shaping for high power and high energy applications. QiOVA ‘s head office is located in Saint-Etienne, in the region of Lyon, a prominent centre of French Technology.
C. And C. Laser Engineering offers products from QiOVA Lasers in India.
Laser technology is here to stay as a premier technology that will produce quality output in a huge quantity with maximum precision. Moreover, laser procedures will be non-contact, flexible and will create the least impact on the environment. Laser technology generally is limited to a scanner with a single laser beam moving over the target and producing the output.
QiOVA has created a revolution in laser technology by developing and patenting multi-beam technology. This multi-beam technology is QiOVA’s patented technology and the procedure involves the simultaneous use of hundred beams with micrometric precision and ultra-high throughput.

Applications of QiOVA Lasers
Stamp Marking
QiOVA’s Stamp marking proficiency is useful in marking 2D patterns such as 2D barcodes and even pictures and characters with one single laser pulse.
Stamp marking offers a massive production boost for 2D barcode marking with a seamless procedure from QiOVA. The QiOVA’s stamp marking competency is such that even in marking-in-line and with the pattern size down to 100 microns, the resulting output has spotless readability without any type of distortion, as all the dots are marked simultaneously.
