The laser process development department places its comprehensively equipped application and materials laboratory at your disposal. With a large selection of different laser sources, scan heads and handling systems to choose from, we can develop laser processes that are perfectly tailored to a wide variety of customer-specific products, components and materials. Working together with our in-house materials laboratory, we can efficiently produce test assemblies, samples and technically-sound workpiece analyses. Our customers receive a detailed report on the achievable quality and processing times that is directly applicable to the later manufacturing process and therefore provides greatest possible planning and investment certainty.
We can evaluate the feasibility of new machining processes and performance requirements by conducting a variety of trials in close consultation with you. The knowledge and experience gained during the trial is applied directly in designing and fine-tuning a laser scan system that is tailored to your specific requirements. We can also assist you with custom solutions, e.g. in relation to the design or software.
Through accompanying analyses of the laser process in our in-house materials analysis department, for example the preparation of sections and examination of them under a scanning electron microscope, we can provide accurate information about the achievable quality and any material changes occurring during processing. The results can be used during laser process development to determine the optimum process parameters.
As a technology partner we can offer you manufacturer-independent advice on the selection of suitable laser sources, and can carry out customer-specific tuning of lasers and scan heads as well as system acceptance testing in our demo rooms. We invite integrators and trade partners to utilize our demo rooms to conduct trials and acceptance tests for their customers with the assistance of our application engineers.
Our application team will assist you with your project right through to successful system acceptance testing and is also happy to assist with any technical issues that may arise. We can support your users with a flexible, requirements-based training program that will enable them to successfully operate our scan heads and laser scan systems in their day-to-day work.
Our application laboratory has a comprehensive selection of different laser sources, ARGES scan heads and system controllers that you can use. This equipment can be flexibly combined according to the application to precisely and practically address your requirements. A variety of handling systems, such as robots, XYZ portals and conveyor belts, enable samples to be produced in a suitable manner for your manufacturing process, thereby simplifying the transfer of the solution to your own manufacturing facilities at a later time.

Our application laboratory includes 4 demo rooms that can be utilized for the preparation of samples, test setups and system acceptance testing. If required, you can book individual demo rooms for customer-specific projects to enable you to assemble your own laser scan system. You have the option to conduct acceptance testing or test processes with your project team or with your customer. You can also provide your own specific components which we will integrate into the system as part of the commissioning or testing process.
 | Setups and acceptance in particular for micromachining with USP lasers |
 | Tailored, customer-specific setups and acceptance |
 | Tailored, customer-specific setups and acceptance and test setups for research projects |
 | Robot-controlled applications in particular for welding and cutting, incl. in the high power range up to 6 kW |
After preparation of sample workpieces in the application laboratory, the laser-machined samples are examined using various measurement equipment and microscopes in order to make a detailed assessment of the quality of the processing. If necessary, the laser machining parameters can be further refined to achieve the best-possible results. In particular when developing novel laser processes, where an iterative process is essential, our combination of in-house application and materials laboratories facilitates an especially efficient and precise process development.
