About FRAMA GmbH Laserkomponenten
FRAMA GmbH Laserkomponenten, founded in Weil der Stadt in 1986, is a contract manufacturing supplier specialising in CNC machining and laser marking. On two Hermle five-axis machining centres and one CNC lathe, single parts and small series are manufactured to customer drawings, mainly from aluminium, steel, brass and copper; this is complemented by complete assembly manufacturing as well as jig and prototype construction. In the field of laser marking, the company labels components using structural modification, discolouration, ablation and engraving – from scales and serial numbers to 2D/3D codes and logos. In cooperation with LightPulse LASER PRECISION, ultrashort-pulse laser processes such as micro drilling, fine cutting, black marking and surface functionalisation are also offered. Quality assurance is carried out on a Hexagon coordinate measuring machine with a measuring projector and qualified inspection reports. Customers come from special machinery construction, laser research, medical technology, systems and equipment engineering, as well as research and laboratory setups.
