Serra Laser is the exclusive provider for automated laser welding systems utilizing the Fanuc CRX series cobot.

This is the only laser system we have identified that is designed as a dual use manual and robotic laser welding setup.

The LightSafe weld cell was identified as an easily storable and non-permanent enclosure allowing us to relocate the system in accordance with future shop needs without incurring future costs. Additionally this is the only system we identified that comes equiped with purpose engineered cell interlocks that safely disable the laser systems when the cell door is opened, preventing any risk of life altering injury to individuals outside the cell. We were unable to identify any other vendors that could provide an equivalent package with as robust safety features.

Dual cell portable laser welding enclosure with ceiling and integrated LightBot and manual IPG Photonics laser safety interlock system. Fanuc CRX cobot with integrated laser welding capability and dual axis positioner.

This system allows 2 independant work enviornments equipped with redundant safety and laser welding systems that can be easily adapted for both manual and automated weld training . Additionally the associated robot can be used outside of the work cell and implemented into robotic welding classes allowing for Fanuc cobot training with industry accurate TCP and coordinated motion training.

From: Hough, David To: Browder, Shari Cc: Sweeney, Marty; Belt, Soley Subject: Re: Perkins Innovation Grant - Sole Source Approval Date: Monday, September 21, 2026 1:38:08 PM Attachments: image001.png image002.png image003.png image004.png image.png

Shari, IPG photonics sells their welders elsewhere, but they are not robot integrated so it isn't the same product. Serra Laser is the manufacturer and the only authorized seller of the LightBot robotic system and lightSafe weld cells. Only used and refurbished systems are available from other vendors.

The laser glasses and laser welding hoods could technically be purchased elsewhere so if we need to remove them from this sole source we can. Those won't go out to bid we will direct purchase them if that's the case.

With that said, I believe we meet both requirements for the Sole Source route.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi David, It’s possible that Serra Laser would qualify for sole source, and maybe I just need more information since I don’t understand the system. When I looked up the different items it looked like there were some options online which is why I felt like we should go with the DQ.

Sole source procurement basis for vendor selection is:

There is only one supply or service that can reasonably meet your need, AND There is only one vendor who can reasonably provide that supply or service.

(You MUST meet BOTH criteria to have a sole source procurement. Procurement Rule R-24-103-205-01) If the sole source is for services greater than $100,000, the procurement official or his or designee shall publish a notice of the sole source on an electronic procurement system for not less than three (3) business days in accordance with section 24-106-103(5), C.R.S.
