SYNOVA S.A., headquartered in Duillier, Switzerland, manufactures advanced laser cutting systems that incorporate its proprietary water jet guided laser technology (Laser MicroJet®) in a true industrial CNC platform.
Customers benefit from significant yield, an improved cutting quality as well as enhanced capabilities and flexibility for precision machining a wide range of materials.
SYNOVA’s story begins with the invention of the water-jet guided laser developed in the 1990s at the Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland. This innovation resolved a number of well-known problems associated with existing cutting technologies in industrial applications. Consequently, Synova was founded in 1997 to make the patented Laser MicroJet (LMJ) technology available to high-tech industrial manufacturers.
Today, SYNOVA has 100 employees with more than 40 engineers in sales and after-sales, application development, engineering, and R&D. Final assembly and testing of the machines are performed in a modern, 2400 square meter facility in Duillier, Switzerland. Since 2003, wholly-owned local subsidiaries with micro-machining centers (MMCs) have been established in the USA, Japan, India and Korea (Germany and China in preparation) for optimized customer support. SYNOVA also relies on partnerships with leading industrial machine manufacturers such as Makino, and cooperates with several research institutions on strategic projects, including the Fraunhofer Institute and the Manufacturing Technology Center (MTC). LMJ machines provide cutting, drilling, edge grinding and dicing solutions for a broad range of precision machining applications, such as:
