Millux is the competence center for laser material processing and part of the Muon Group.
With industry-leading technological capabilities and our metallurgical knowledge, we work with customers from the early design phase to co-develop the whole project to get the best solution.
Metallurgical knowledge
Laser machining can be applied to a variety of metals, ranging from steel, stainless steel and inconel to nitinol, aluminum and titanium, as well as to ceramics, plastics and glass – the range of materials covered in general is wider than with conventional technologies. Any laser beam will create a heat-affected zone to some extent, depending on laser type, settings and beam characteristics. Over the years, through materials research and practical experience, Millux has gathered extensive metallurgical knowledge concerning the impact of laser machining on material properties. This facilitates the manufacturing of precision components that satisfy the customer’s requirements on dimensional precision and finishing quality.
Cutting-edge precision
Drawing upon smart process control Millux ensures high process stability, reliability and repeatability. Advanced laser systems producing very small beam diameters can achieve machining precision in the micrometer area. Combined with the almost negligible heat input of short-pulsed lasers this enables Millux to manufacture high-quality, high-precision components and products in 2D as well as 2.5D or even 3D applications. Over a wide range of applications this has already given rise to breakthrough innovations that feature new functionality or higher performance.
Full service
As a laser machining specialist, Millux covers the complete product creation process, from the early design phase to series production. In co-development, Millux can provide engineering support to arrive at an optimized solution to the customer’s precision product challenge. Operating in a lean and highly digitalized and robotized fashion – ultimately achieving one-piece flow – Millux can offer cost-effective first-tier supply.
Organisation
Millux is a technology leader in the field of laser processing technologies with a diverse platform of different laser technologies and material processing capabilities.
In 1988, when the possibilities of modern laser technology for the application of precision laser processing were still relatively unknown, the company was founded by Dr Jan Reith. In 2017 the company, was acquired by the the Veco Group, which later became, together with the company Veco, Tecan and later also Louwers Hanique , the Muon Group. In 2021 Reith Laser was rebranded to Millux to further emphasise the technological road that had been chosen. Over the course of over 30 years, the company has developed into an established technology leader in the field of laser material processing technologies co-creating with industry leaders in different high end industries.
Co-development
With industry-leading technological capabilities and our metallurgical knowledge, we work with customers which typically involve us in the early design phase to co-develop components from the first functional prototype to a fully industrialised technological solution.
Millux is a leading specialist in laser material processing technologies and is part of the Muon Group. With industry-leading technological capabilities and our metallurgical knowledge, we work with customers from the early design phase to co-develop the whole project to make sure they get the best optimised solution customised to their demand.
Muon Group
Thinking and acting bigger in precision helps Muon’s companies to smartly and successfully respond to the world’s growing demand for the most innovative micro solutions.
Muon is aware that micro-precision components are becoming the key factor for companies when developing their competitive edge. Therefore, the Muon Group believes that offering successful small-scale answers to complex questions requires acting on a bigger, professional and global scale.
