At the Laser Institute Rezekne (LIR), classical laser processing, encompassing laser cutting, welding, hardening, and marking, represents one of the largest and most dynamic application areas of laser technology. These processes have been entrenched in industrial applications for decades, and yet, continuous development in these areas remains a cornerstone of our research efforts.

At LIR, we are actively engaged in research that seeks to adapt these time-tested processes to the realm of high-speed laser processing. This adaptation is critical for optimally harnessing the ever-increasing power of laser technology. A prime example of this innovation is our work in laser remote cutting, where we currently achieve cutting speeds in excess of 1 m/s, and laser welds are executed at velocities up to 120 m/min.
