COMPONENTS
JOB ORDER PRODUCTION
-
SAMPLE PRODUCTION, SERIES PRODUCTION LAUNCH, INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OR LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION – WE ARE YOUR PARTNER
A production planning and control system, and enterprise resource planning (PPC / ERP) used across company borders ensure trouble-free production processes. In addition to laser machines equipped with state-of-the-art lasers for 2D and 3D processing, an extensive portfolio of peripheral technology - such as inductive pre-heating technology, pyrometer controller, image processing systems or various beam formation technology - is available. This equipment is completed by an own metallography laboratory and a wide range of hardware and software for quality assurance and quality documentation. 
LASER WELDING
-
HIGH-STRENGTH JOIN CONNECTIONS WITH VISUALLY APPEALING WELD SEAMS
With the process of laser welding, we create precision seams on components made of metal at high speeds. Pulsed and continuously beaming lasers with a high beam quality up to 3.5kW-cw and 7kW-pw capacity are at our disposal. With this, we can achieve, for example, the following welding depths: in steel up to 8 mm, in aluminium alloys up to approx. 3 mm, in titanium up to 8 mm. Here you can find further information on our job order production offers.
In fine welding, we achieve seam widths of as low as 0.1 millimetres. Joints on welding-critical materials (such as sinter materials or ceramic) as well as high-quality welding joints (e.g. helium-proof) can be effected on a wide range of materials. Examples for weldable materials: copper alloys (also coated), platinum, zinc-coated steel sheet, tungsten, aluminium oxide ceramics, plastics and others. We are welding in compliance with DIN, e.g. according to the Pressure Vessels Directive and we have available a comprehensive range of possibilities for process documentation such as performance transcripts, weld beam monitoring and quality monitoring by means of modern image processing.
LASER HARDENING
-
We carry out surface hardening processes (hardening depths 0.1mm up to max. 2mm) on finished (e. g. ground) workpieces with Nd:YAG, fibre and diode lasers with almost no deformations. We are using different NC systems with 3 to 6 axes. Through the use of a 6-axis robot, we are able to manufacture large quantities of small components effectively in series. Here you can find further information on our job order production offers.
A high efficiency and process security are ensured with the help of special hardening optics, and optimum control and monitoring of the hardening process is ensured by the use of pyrometers.
We carry out metallographic cross-section polishing and hardness measurements for you.
LASER CLADDING
-
Laser cladding is used for the production of partial wear-protection areas made of different metals / alloys or for the production of functional layers for friction bearings, heat protection, for the creation of new component areas.
Since 1994, we have been using these processes from "Micro" to "Macro", with the spectrum of components ranging from medical devices with wall thicknesses of few 0.1mm up to applied surfaces of a few square decimetres and layer thicknesses of several millimetres.
Besides an extensive wealth of experience with the technology of laser cladding with wire and powder feed, we have also developed solutions for quality assurance in high-volume applications.
We are qualified by SIEMENS AG / Power Generation for regeneration welding on power plant turbine blades. The new dimension of technological freedom: Laser cladding beads vary in terms of welding cross-section width and height in wide ranges in real time thanks to LV LineScan and broad beam powder nozzle. For tool and mould making, we carry out correction and repair work on components with the filler materials powder or wire.
OTHER LASER PROCESSES
-
LASER CUTTING AND PERFORATION
- With this procedure, we process plastics (technical) textiles, ceramics and glasses - and in special cases, metals.
LASER DRILLING- For some special applications, we offer the procedure laser drilling. Please ask us whether we have the right technology for your task at our factory.
SKINNING
- Flat cables can be skinned on e.g. one or both sides, all-over or only on single conductors.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
-
TIME and TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
- Laser-assisted heat treatment processes are recorded and controlled with contactless and non-contact measuring sensors up to a pyrometer matrix camera and a time resolution of less than one millisecond.
LENGTH MEASUREMENT- With the help of various manual and electrical measurement and testing devices we are able to determine lengths, positions, shapes, concentricity and other values associated with length measurement.
METALLOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT- A complete metallography equipment from wet separating cutting, embedding to grinding and polishing grades, etching processes and the evaluation with different microscopes is an important requirement for development tasks but also for routine tests.
HARDNESS MEASUREMENT- With stationary (Vickers micro and small load) and portable (dynamic) measuring technologies, we are able to determine measuring values. Especially for surface hardening processes, a spatially resolved micro load hardness measurement is necessary in order to obtain clear statements on the hardness profile.
FORCE MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY- Various devices for the testing and measuring of component with regard to compressive and tensile strength - typically used for yield force measurements on welded joints.
DYE PENETRATION TEST (PT)- In order to detect pores or cracks, our qualified testing staff makes use of dye penetration tests (red-white test, UV).
CROSS-LINKED AND DATABASE-ASSISTED DOCUMENTATION- Measurement and analysis results are archived together with process data and can be assigned - in the long term - to batches or even individual workpieces through the PPC and ERP.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
- Already during technology development and machine construction it is ensured that our engineering customers will later have to contact our service department as rarely as possible. In order to minimise downtimes in case of damages, we use carefully selected as well as mostly standardised and replaceable components. Our PLC and NC controlled machines are delivered with the possibility of remote diagnostics and remote maintenance.
