• Laser beam welding

  The laser welding is one of the following and is used in the industry to connect metallic components and thermoplastics. The method is based on the punctual energy supply via a laser beam, wherein usually no additional material is used. Thanks to the energy-intensive laser beam, laser welding is characterized by a very high welding speed, a low thermal distortion in the component and a narrow and precise welding seam. It is therefore used in high-precision applications in , in the automotive industry, in steel construction, in shipbuilding, in aerospace and in other industries.

• Laser cutting

  The laser cutting is part of the group of separating and is based on the separation of solid bodies by laser radiation. The method allows the user to cut complex contours from almost all conceivable materials. The use of continuous or pulsed laser radiation for cutting or cutting workpieces has far-reaching advantages compared to other methods. In the metal processing industry, laser cutting is particularly popular due to the high precision, efficiency and productivity. The combination of laser technology with highly automated CNC technology also ensures a high cost-effectiveness even with small batch sizes.

• Laser cutting metal

  Metal is one of the separating, thermal . By using the laser beam, solid bodies of metal are cut through. The separation is effected by the strong heating which the laser beam reaches by focusing on the corresponding point on the surface of the workpiece: the material completely melts or evaporates. After penetration of the material, the actual cutting process begins. Laser cutting of metal is one of the most flexible, precise and most economical separating . Typical applications can be found wherever a complex design needs to be processed quickly and as free of force as possible.

• Laser engraving

  The laser engraving is a method of surface treatment using a high-energy laser beam for marking, marking or decoration of objects. The contactless method is characterized by high automation, durability and flexibility. The laser marking scores through versatile applications and is therefore very popular across the industry. engravings can be applied to many different materials and prove to be particularly durable and durable. Typical application areas are, for example, the production of type plates or the numbering of individual parts in series production.
