Spin-offs

The company ALOtec Dresden GmbH was founded as spin-off of the IWS, in 1998.The main business field is laser material processing. This includes the manufacturing of components and entire laser systems according to customer’s demands, as well as job order production at own laser equipment.

Main foci

• laser hardening
• laser powder cladding
  
• laser wire buildup welding
  
• laser cleaning

AXO Dresden was founded as a spin-off by employees of the Fraunhofer Institute Material and Beam Technology Dresden (IWS) with a participating share of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft.

Our production program contains both single X-ray optics and complex X-ray optical systems to generate high intensity collimated or focussed monochromatic X-ray beams, special customized depositions and applications in X-ray reflectometry and diffraction.

Founded in 2018, the company coaxworks GmbH produces and develops system technology for direction-independent, wire-based laser metal deposition and laser cladding. The solutions offered can be used as retrofits for existing laser cells, as upgrades for welding robots or as assembly sets for series machines.

Products and Services for Laser Metal Deposition:

• Coaxial laser welding head for metallic wires,
• Flexible shielding gas chambers for welding under inert gas atmosphere as well as
• Feasibility studies, installation service and operator training.
