About ASKIAS Laser Systems
ASKIAS GmbH from Lauffen am Neckar has been developing and building modular laser welding systems and distributing laser cutting systems for industrial manufacturing since 2015. As part of the family-owned ASKEA Group, the company combines over 30 years of experience in laser material processing; the laser sources come from the sister company AUXXOS Lasertechnik. The product portfolio includes the modular laser welding system Adaption (3–5 CNC axes, 7 manual axes), the locally flexible Agilion, and the closed laser processing center Precision of laser class 1 with 5-axis simultaneous machining; as an exclusive German distribution partner, ASKIAS also offers KIMLA laser cutting systems with fiber lasers up to 30 kW. In addition to system construction and sales (also rental and leasing), ASKIAS offers process development, feasibility studies, fixture design, commissioning, training, and maintenance from a single source. Applications range from micro to macro processing, from precision mechanical components to multi-ton machine parts, for industries such as medical technology, aerospace, automotive, e-mobility, tool and mold making, as well as mechanical and plant engineering.
