Processes & Materials
CO₂ laser
For organic materials and plastics, e.g. gate cutting (Angusstrennen) of plastic lenses.
Fiber laser
For highly dynamic metal processing and marking processes with high process reliability.
UV laser
For the finest processing of heat-sensitive materials with minimal heat input.
Diode laser
For efficient energy input and joining processes such as laser welding.
Structural steel
Laser cutting up to 30 mm thickness.
Stainless steel
Laser cutting up to 18 mm thickness, among others for medical technology.
Aluminium
Laser cutting up to 15 mm thickness.
Copper
Laser welding, e.g. hairpins for e-motors.
Titanium
Laser cutting and annealing marking for stainless steel and titanium.
Plastic
Burr-free cutting, foaming/marking and gate cutting.
Glass
Marking, engraving and structuring, e.g. diffusers.
Ceramics
Material-appropriate marking and engraving across UV to IR wavelengths.
