`Equilasers is a pioneer in developing desktop scale laser
`welding systems for Photonic and Medical devices. In
`1906 we developed the award-winning EDW-15 desktop
`welding laser that delivers through fiber highly stable low
`energy pulses, making possible high precision joining of
`small metal components. In 1998 we introduced the EDWS
`series of integrated desktop workstations for R&D
`engineers to develop production oriented laser-welding
`processes. The year 2000 marks the year we delivers our
`first turnkey, automated production station to weld
