LUMAS K.K. proudly announces that its Nozzle Visual Aligner (NVA) has successfully passed multiple international conformity assessments, officially earning CE, FCC, RoHS, and WEEE certifications.

This milestone demonstrates LUMAS’s continuous commitment to safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance in every aspect of product design and manufacturing.

⸻

Verified under EU safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

The CE marking ensures that NVA meets all applicable European directives for electronic devices.

Tested and verified by TÜV Rheinland, ensuring compliance with FCC Part 15, Class B standards.

The certification confirms that NVA’s electromagnetic performance is safe and stable for industrial environments.

NVA is fully compliant with the EU’s RoHS directive, guaranteeing that all components are free from restricted hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.

As part of our environmental responsibility, LUMAS ensures NVA can be properly recycled and disposed of in accordance with the WEEE framework.

Founded in Japan, LUMAS K.K. develops AI-powered optical and precision laser accessories for the global fabrication industry.

The NVA — Nozzle Visual Aligner — represents a breakthrough in non-contact, visual beam alignment technology, combining fast calibration, ±0.08 mm accuracy, and full mobile control for laser professionals.

Certified. Precise. Safe. — LUMAS, Designed in Japan.

In workshops across Japan, many seasoned laser machine operators have long relied on the same traditional method to align their cutting nozzles — tape-based centering. They would place adhesive tape under the nozzle, fire a low-power laser pulse, and adjust the head repeatedly until the burn mark reached the center. It’s a skill that demands patience, experience, and a steady hand.

But as the industry matured, this old method began to show its limits. It was time-consuming, fatiguing, and inconsistent — especially for newer operators or those handling multiple machine types. A process that should take seconds often stretched into minutes, with accuracy dependent entirely on human judgment.

At LUMAS K.K., we saw not just a challenge — but an opportunity to rethink alignment itself.

Inside our Tokyo R&D lab, our engineers asked: What if precision could be seen, not guessed?

By merging optical engineering and AI-driven image recognition, we designed a system that could see the laser beam in real time and calculate its offset with sub-millimeter precision. The result became the Nozzle Visual Aligner (NVA) — a compact, camera-based device that uses advanced optics to visualize the laser path and AI algorithms to guide centering automatically.

What once took minutes of trial and error can now be done in seconds — with greater accuracy, and far less strain. Operators no longer need to rely on intuition or eyesight; instead, they see a clear visual overlay that tells them exactly where to adjust.

From concept to prototype, every stage of NVA’s development was guided by a single mission:

To make laser cutting simpler, faster, and more human.

At LUMAS, we believe innovation isn’t just about new technology — it’s about making technology that empowers people. And that’s exactly what NVA stands for.

October 2025 — LUMAS K.K., a Japan-based laser technology startup specializing in AI-powered tools for laser cutting and welding, has announced new distribution partnerships with leading European resellers for its flagship product, the Nozzle Visual Aligner (NVA).

Developed in Japan, the NVA enables laser machine operators to achieve fast, precise nozzle alignment with intuitive visual guidance — a breakthrough that simplifies setup and improves cutting accuracy across multiple machine brands.

Following its successful debut at Blechexpo 2025 in Germany, LUMAS has rapidly expanded its reseller network across Europe, aiming to make its technology accessible to more fabrication professionals.

“Europe has always been a key market for advanced laser manufacturing. By collaborating with trusted local partners, we’re making alignment technology smarter, faster, and easier to access,” said Jack Xu, Co-founder of LUMAS K.K.

Stuttgart, Germany — Tokyo-based laser technology startup LUMAS K.K. made its first public appearance at Blechexpo this year, unveiling its groundbreaking product NVA (Nozzle Visual Aligner). The innovative device quickly captured the attention of the sheet metal fabrication industry. Over the four-day event, NVA was successfully tested on multiple leading laser cutting machine brands, receiving enthusiastic feedback from industry professionals and distributors, and generating strong order interest — laying a solid foundation for LUMAS’s accelerated expansion into the European market.

LUMAS K.K. is a high-tech startup headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, focused on developing AI-powered smart toolsfor the sheet metal manufacturing industry. The company recently completed its first financing round of USD 1.5 million, backed by leading industrial investors.

LUMAS NVA is the world’s first visual nozzle alignment device designed to help laser cutting machines achieve fast and precise coaxial calibration between the nozzle and the beam.

Unlike traditional methods that rely on tape and operator experience, NVA leverages high-speed vision recognition and intelligent algorithms to complete precise alignment in under 60 seconds. It is fully compatible with any cutting head equipped with a red laser pointer, significantly reducing setup time and improving cutting stability and productivity.

During Blechexpo, NVA was successfully tested on multiple major European and Asian machine brands. The device earned positive feedback from system integrators, machine builders, and fabricators alike, with several partnerships confirmed on the spot.

Thanks to its outstanding performance and broad compatibility, LUMAS K.K. announced its plan to accelerate its European expansion, aiming to establish a comprehensive distribution and service network covering major manufacturing countries by 2026. This will enable fabricators to access smart, easy-to-use tools that enhance operational efficiency and quality.

LUMAS K.K. is a Tokyo-based laser technology startup focused on developing AI-powered smart tools for the laser manufacturing industry. Founded with a mission to make manufacturing simpler, more efficient, and more human-centered, LUMAS combines advanced vision technology with real-world industrial applications. Backed by leading industry investors with a USD 1.5 million seed round, the company is building a global ecosystem of innovative solutions — starting with NVA, the world’s first visual nozzle alignment device for laser cutting machines.
