Laserstructure Machines

Fascination Laser

Light as a tool in production engineering - the laser with its versatility, still fascinates all users of this method. Since a long time Gehring has discovered the concentrated light for production. In cooperation with our customers, we have developed a number of different laser applications and installed them in appropriate machines.

To industrialize laser structuring, machines were developed that work in modern production lines with high process reliability. Our laser machines offer this process reliability and work reliable around the clock.

Q-switched solid state lasers with Galvo scanner optics are used as beam source. You can use laser beams for surface structuring as well as laser for marking data matrix codes.

To reduce the cycle time, multiple beam sources can be arranged. The arrangement depends on the machining job. During the structuring of bored segments, the beam passes into the bore at a diagonal. During machining of front faces, the beam guidance to the machined surface takes place normally.

For quality control of workpieces imaging cameras can be used. Data matrix codes can be read or the surface can be probed with another special camera.

Typical applications of our laser systems are:

  1. Laser structuring to improve static friction – To increase the force of static friction of the friction partners and to abridge the components each of them is laser structured.
  2. Lasing of Data Matrix codes – Components can be marked with production-relevant data.
  3. Marking lasers – Unique component markings are lasered into the workpieces.
