Smart laser processing heads in the digital age

Press release (Nr. VII) - Fraunhofer IWS /

Integrated digitization of processes for laser materials processing provides customers with measurable results in industrial applications. Based on the IWS’ comprehensive systems engineering know-how, cyber-physical laser materials processing systems are being developed by means of new hardware and software solutions. These systems assist the operator in the performance of complex manufacturing tasks, they improve product quality, and they enhance the reproducibility of manufacturing results both for regular and frequently changing production sequences. Research developments for hardening, cutting and joining as well as for additive manufacturing processes will be presented at the Hannover Messe Industrie and at the Laser Messe München.
