BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Introducing the LaserPecker U1 — a UV laser engraver built around powerful automation and breakthrough transparent-material positioning, focused on precision cold processing for glass and crystal applications.
LaserPecker will debut the U1 UV Laser Engraver at IFA 2026 in Berlin, available in both 5W and 10W UV laser sources. The U1 delivers a breakthrough solution for autofocus and positioning on transparent materials — a persistent industry challenge — and uses intelligent automation to help businesses unlock higher-value customization at scale.
Glass-Cutting 10W UV
Cut glass. Engrave deeper. Work faster. Powered by a world-class laser source, the 10W UV laser combines powerful performance with cold UV precision for clean, fine results across a wide range of materials.
Autofocus on Transparent Materials
Sensor-based autofocus meets AI-powered automation to make transparent materials easier than ever. Automatically detect and focus on crystal for a streamlined inner engraving workflow with minimal manual setup.
Intelligent Irregular-Surface 3D Engraving
Scan complex surfaces, automatically map every curve, and adjust the focal length accordingly. From irregular objects to curved surfaces, U1 intelligently adapts to the shape for precise 3D engraving without manual calibration.
Make Extraordinary Easy
Skip unnecessary lens swaps. One lens supports both inner and surface engraving, while U1 intelligently recognizes the installed lens and automatically loads the right parameters when a lens change is needed. Combined with Class 1 safety, U1 makes advanced engraving easier, cleaner, and more accessible. From personalized crystal gifts and awards to custom glass products, signage, and artistic pieces, U1 delivers precise, consistent engraving across a wide range of applications.
Availability
The LaserPecker U1 represents the latest evolution of the company's UV laser technology and will be offered in both 5W and 10W configurations. The U1 is expected to become available through LaserPecker's official website in the fourth quarter of 2026. Further information will be announced in due course.

LaserPecker Set to Unveil U1 at IFA 2026: Live Demos of Intelligent UV Laser Engraving
SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 21, TÜV Rheinland Greater China, the international independent testing, inspection and certification organization presented Shenzhen Aputure Imaging Technology Co., Ltd. ("Aputure") with a life cycle assessment (LCA) certificate for its STORM CS32 studio light at the 2026 Aputure Fan Night.
The certification reflects Aputure's commitment to environmental responsibility and provides a scientific basis for identifying the stages of a product's life cycle with the greatest environmental impact, enabling targeted improvements that will guide future product optimization and sustainability management.
Gao Chao, Deputy Director of Aputure's product center, and Li Qiang, Vice General Manager of Sales at TÜV Rheinland Greater China Electrical, attended the certificate presentation ceremony.
The project moved beyond the conventional approach of evaluating a single production stage. Instead, it applied a "cradle-to-grave" perspective, systematically assessing the studio light across its entire life cycle from raw material extraction, manufacturing, distribution and transportation, through product use, to end-of-life disposal. The assessment pinpointed the key factors and stages where environmental impact is greatest, providing data to support eco-design, process improvement and supply chain optimization.
"Sustainability has become a core imperative for business development," Gao said. "Receiving this LCA certificate marks an important milestone in our efforts to integrate green principles across the entire research, development and manufacturing of our products. While refining technical performance, we continue to identify opportunities to reduce environmental impact throughout the product life cycle. Going forward, Aputure will advance eco-design, drive continuous innovation and support the industry's transition toward a green, low-carbon future."
"The global transition toward green, low-carbon development is accelerating, and sustainability has shifted from an option to a must for enterprises," Li said. "LCA helps companies understand the composition of their products' environmental footprint and identify where improvements can be made, moving from isolated green initiatives to systematic capability building. This certification not only recognizes Aputure's achievements to date. It also marks a new starting point for building full life cycle environmental management capabilities. TÜV Rheinland is honored to have been part of this project, and we look forward to deepening our cooperation to help the professional film and television lighting industry move toward higher-quality, more sustainable growth."
As a leading global technology service provider, TÜV Rheinland operates specialized laboratories and a global technical network covering safety, electromagnetic compatibility, performance verification and market access for electrical and electronic products. It offers one-stop solutions for photographic equipment, film and television lighting and related products, including testing, certification and assessment spanning product development, testing and certification, and post-market evaluation, helping Chinese lighting products reach global markets.
