About Z-LASER
Z-LASER GmbH is a manufacturer of industrial laser systems headquartered in Freiburg im Breisgau. Since 1985, the company has been developing high-precision positioning lasers, machine vision lasers and laser projectors that can be integrated into industrial manufacturing and assembly processes. The portfolio includes positioning laser modules (including ZD, ZRG-F, ZQ1 Magic Line, ZM18, ZKV, ZAT, ZPT F, ZR), machine vision lasers (ZX family, ZM18-Vision, Z Fiber Module) and CAD-controlled laser projectors (ZLP1, ZLP2, ZLP2-HighPower) as guidance systems for assembly and cutting. In addition to series production at its main Freiburg site, Z-LASER offers OEM lasers and feasibility studies: from feasibility analysis to series integration of custom laser systems. Fields of application include, among others, automotive, composites, wood, concrete, electronics, medical, aerospace, steel & metals as well as machine vision. With more than 120 employees, around 25 percent of whom work in research and development, over 60 sales partnerships worldwide and its own service center for diagnostics and repair, the company accompanies projects from consulting through integration to support.
