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.


The World’s First Visual Nozzle Aligner

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.

Accelerating European Market Expansion

Thanks to its excellent 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.
