You have questions about the service offering of BLS Lasertechnology GmbH?
Laser welding
Laser welding is a highly advanced, technologically leading and automated welding process for joining various metals and/or non-ferrous metals. Laser welding of components offers many advantages over alternative welding methods:
- Highest precision and quality due to CNC-controlled guidance of the laser
- High efficiency due to automation of the welding process
- Use with a wide variety of materials and alloys
- Machining of various 2D and 3D geometries without limitation
- Minimal distortion due to extremely low thermal influence
Laser cutting
Laser cutting is an extremely efficient process for cutting through various metal parts. BLS helps customers especially with complex laser cuts with critical tolerances and in the 3D range. Advantages of laser cutting are in particular:
- High efficiency due to extremely high process speeds
- Highest precision and quality due to CNC-controlled guidance of the laser
- Wide variety of materials and alloys that can be cut
- Cutting 2D and 3D contours without restriction
- No material abrasion or wear due to non-contact cutting via heat impact
Laser metal deposition (LMD)
Laser metal deposition (LMD) is an innovative, additive laser process for modifying metal components. BLS supports the application of this modern technology, e.g. for the repair of high-quality components or concentrated reinforcement for protection against wear and tear
- Selective and efficient use of high-priced materials and substances
- Highest precision and quality due to CNC-controlled guidance of the laser
- Fast processing of parts due to very high application rates and automated laser guidance
- Can be flexibly combined with laser welding and laser cutting
- Minimal distortion and no burn-in spots or pores due to low heat input
Laser hardening
Laser hardening enables fast and concentrated hardening of metal components. The process offers high efficiency and high flexibility:
- Complex contours and shapes of a component achievable with the laser
- Maximum possible hardness values depending on the martensite formation of the material
- Highest accuracy and quality through CNC-controlled, automated laser guidance
- Minimal distortion due to extremely low heat input into the component
- Low costs due to short cycle times and high process speeds
Laser marking
Laser marking is a versatile process that can label, engrave or apply specific codes (such as Data Matrix codes) to components by laser.
Marking components with lasers offers extensive advantages over conventional marking processes based on paint, chemical reaction or mechanical pressure:
- Environmentally friendly: without costly and environmentally harmful consumables
- Gentle on material: hardly any tool or material wear
- Permanently readable: good readability with high chemical and thermal resistance
- Energy saving: requires little energy
- Fast: process speeds from 6 to 150 cm/min
- Easy individualization of components: e.g. via Data Matrix Code
- Reliable traceability over the entire life cycle
