Application Laboratory

It is a key part of our corporate philosophy to realize tailored laser solutions for our customers.

Application Advise for your System Solution

To be able to support you optimally, at our headquarters in Mülheim-Kärlich, close to Koblenz, Germany, we’ve built from scratch a first-class and fully equipped application laboratory. Here, a team of highly qualified and experienced application engineers will take care of the first feasibility studies and advise you on that basis in terms of plant design and selection of suitable beam sources. If needed be, we integrate our worldwide network of experts comprising competent system integrators and representatives of renowned research institutions into solution development. When a sustainable concept is set up, a prototype of the laser system can be created and tested under production-like conditions. The models for mass production will not be finalized let alone finally delivered until it is certain that the system runs as planned.

In this way, step by step and in close coordination with you, a laser solution is developed that is tailored exactly to your individual needs. A major advantage is the modular design of Laserline diode lasers: by this, subcomponents can be combined in different ways, e.g. special spots or optics pose no problem whatsoever.

Would you like to entrust yourself to our development work in the application laboratory and wish to be advised and accompanied along with the conception of your solution? Contact us!

Applications

Currently, the following applications can be performed:

  • Heat conduction welding (steel and aluminum; with or without supplementary wire)
  • Key-hole welding (steel and aluminum; with or without supplementary wire)
  • Remote welding
  • Plastic welding
  • Brazing with filler wire
  • Brazing with triple-spot module by Laserline
  • Cladding/coating with wire and powder
  • High Speed Cladding
  • Repair welding
  • Hardening

  • Additive Manufacturing/ 3D printing 
Process of cladding and additive manufacturing on copper with copper powder by Laserline diode lasers

Equipment

The high-quality equipment of the Laserline application laboratory allows the practical implementation of numerous application details. In this way, production-like application conditions can be realized while the functions of the designed laser system can be reliably tested. In addition to all Laserline beam sources, multiaxial work stations are also available.

The following machines, devices and components are currently part of our laboratory setup:
  • Laserline LDF diode lasers
  • Laserline LDF diode lasers with beam converter
  • Laserline LDM diode lasers (19" rack mount)
  • 6-axis-robots with turn table and wire feeder
  • CNC-handling with XYZ-table and additional rotary axis
  • Welding and brazing heads with tactile seam tracking and additional modules for double and triple spot applications
  • Different scanner systems
  • Camera based temperature monitoring system for process control
  • Single-color and quotient pyrometer
  • Laserline OTZ zoom-optic
  • Small area remote welding optic with seam tracking
  • Remote hardening optic
  • Cladding optic for wire-shaped additive materials
  • On-light microscopy
  • Implements for metallography (metallography abrasive cutter; grinder; bouncing hardness tester)
