About tcms
tcms GmbH, based in Meinerzhagen, is a system provider for industrial laser technology and has been active as a partner for welding, cleaning and marking lasers for more than 20 years. The portfolio includes mobile and stationary fiber and Nd:YAG laser systems, laser sources for integration, robotic systems for laser hardening, and work tables for laser welding. In addition to sales, the company provides its own services: laser welding for prototypes, small-batch and series production as well as tool repair, laser marking and laser cleaning for materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, sheet metal, acrylic, glass, textiles and plastics. In addition, laser marking systems including PLC, RFID and database integration are implemented in production lines, processes are developed, and an in-house CNC-controlled machine park is used for in-house manufacturing. Customers come from the automotive, mechanical engineering, medical technology, packaging, wood processing and toolmaking industries. A worldwide customer service with maintenance, repair, remote maintenance, spare parts shipping and on-site service rounds off the offering.
