About BLS Lasertechnology
BLS Lasertechnology GmbH is a service provider for laser material processing with over 35 years of experience. Its range of services includes laser welding, laser cutting (including 3D laser cutting), laser marking, laser hardening and laser deposition welding. The machine park ranges from CO2 to solid-state lasers with laser power up to 12 kW and enables lot sizes from prototypes (lot size 1) to automated series production of up to 1 million parts per year. BLS supports customers from application and process development through parameter determination and prototype production to series production; the in-house jig and fixture department designs and manufactures fixtures for prototype and series orders. A fully equipped metrology laboratory with a Zeiss 3D measuring machine, a metallography laboratory and a hardness testing system ensure quality. The company manufactures for more than 500 customers from a wide range of industrial sectors and also cooperates with universities and research institutions. The site is located in the Calw/Nagold area (area code 07033) in Baden-Württemberg.
