Rethinking Laser Cutting:
The Development of NEVIS

First-generation SMT laser cutting machines have had their time. Technology has evolved and so have the needs of modern manufacturing.

There was a need for a system that could bring SMT laser cutting up to the standards of today’s fast, connected, data-driven world. Needlessly to say, we saw an opportunity for innovation.

We set out to build a system that delivers high-speed precision with intelligent automation and full digital integration. NEVIS features auto-calibration and dynamic correction for repeatable accuracy, advanced AOI for real-time inspection and seamless MRP connectivity for end-to-end traceability and smart factory integration. 

Designed for Gerber, LMD and beyond, NEVIS slots straight into existing workflows with no extra tooling or conversion steps, making the switch from traditional stencil cutters simple and seamless. 

The industry is shifting fast. Manufacturing is evolving towards intelligent, connected solutions. Watt Laser is at the forefront of this shift and redefining what’s possible.
