History edit
The company founder, Jeff Dulaney, earned his Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Pittsburgh in 1986, then worked at Battelle Columbus Laboratory from 1987 to 1994 as a physicist in the laser department. He helped design and build the first industrial laser shock peening system for Wagner Laser Technologies in the early 1990s.[2] Dr. Dulaney acquired Battelle’s laser shock peening patent rights and formed LSP Technologies, Inc. in February 1995. Dr. Allan Clauer, an original patent holder of the laser peening process,[3] and a Battelle inventor of the laser shock peening process, joined LSPT as Vice-President later in 1995.
In 1996 to 1999, LSPT assembled and delivered three high power ND: Glass laser peening systems to General Electric Aviation in Cincinnati, Ohio. LSPT also won several Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards for laser peening,[4] laser bond inspection,[5] and laser land mine neutralization.[6] In March 2003 LSPT began production laser peen processing on 4th stage IBR in Pratt & Whitney’s F119 engine for the F-22 Raptor. In 2009 LSPT began laser peening production services for power generation [7][8][9] and forging industries.[10] In 2012, LSPT delivered a laser bond inspection system to the Boeing Company in Seattle, WA.
LSPT was a AS9100 certified company for Laser Processing Services and Equipment Design.[11]
As of May 30, 2023 LSP Technologies was placed in receivership by order of the Court of Common Pleas, Summit County Ohio, Case # CV-2023-05-1664. At 10:00 PM on August 27, 2023, by order of the court-appointed receiver, LSP Technologies ceased all operations.
