Laserline is expanding its management trio to a quartet: Dr. Alexander Arndt has been appointed as the fourth Managing Director alongside Dr. Claus Narr and company founders Dr. Christoph Ullmann and Volker Krause, effective January 1, 2026. The PhD-qualified mechanical engineer has been with Laserline since 2018 and has already held several key positions within the company. In his role as Managing Director, he is responsible for Sales, Marketing, Applications, as well as IT and Process Management.

Amphenol Sachsenkabel, formerly LWL-Sachsenkabel, leverages European development, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities to deliver high-performance fiber-optic solutions for data centers, industrial applications, and telecommunications across Europe. The new brand reflects a strategic alignment and the decision to join forces more closely with other Amphenol businesses worldwide.

Focus on vendor-independent automation: UniversalAutomation.Org co-organized part of the event program for IEEE ETFA 2025. Leading figures from the academic community behind IEC 61499 were in attendance.

Laserline will be presenting innovative optics solutions for industrial laser cladding at formnext 2025. The focus will be on a newly developed 30 kW zoom optic for flexible cladding processes, a new specialized optic for wear and corrosion protection coatings on internal geometries, and blue high brightness lasers for the additive manufacturing of non-ferrous metal components using laser-based powder bed processes.

Transporting earth-moving machinery to the job site by heavy goods vehicle is part of the routine in many building projects. However, questions of load securing are not always accorded the appropriate importance – lashing points in particular often provide grounds for criticism. A joint project of Goldhofer AG, Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG and RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG illustrates what a secure lashing solution should really look like. The construction and logistics company Max Wild GmbH is already using these vehicles.

Up until now, battery electrodes have been dried primarily in gas-operated conveyor furnaces. However, a recently developed approach based on diode lasers is noticeably superior to the convective drying process and for the first time makes it possible to produce laser-dried anodes and cathodes in a roll-to-roll process. A white paper by Laserline and staff from the PEM (Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components) group at RWTH Aachen University highlights the advantages of this diode laser-based electrode drying process and outlines the path to more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly battery production.

Highlights of Laserline’s presence at formnext 2022 include cross-material cladding and additive manufacturing processes through application of blue lasers, and infrared-laser-based hard coatings for wear reduction in brake discs. Those interested can find us at Hall 12, Booth B19.

Aalen, June 2024 – RUD is completing its range of digital tools for the application-related composition of lifting solutions: in addition to the proven lifting means configurator, a configurator for lifting points is now also available. It can be used to quickly and easily find the right lifting points for individual customer chain suspensions and even visualise them in 3D.

Danfoss and E.ON One present an all-in-one solution combining hardware and software that saves up to 30% energy and enables significant CO₂ reductions for both existing and new buildings.

Schorndorf, Jan 16, 2020 – Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is the new manufacturer partner of sysob. The renowned company with more than 830,000 customers worldwide provides...

Laserline will present a wide range of its diode lasers at Schweißen & Schneiden 2025. In addition to the new Blue High Brightness Laser for welding ultra-thin sheet metal structures, the focus will also be on solutions enabling more sustainable and efficient processing.

• Premium lifting technology for lifting and positioning construction machinery and mounting machine components • DGUV-certified lifting points with defined nominal WLL as an alternative to unsafe in-house solutions • Centre of excellence for lashing equipment and practical examples of load securing

• Development of the first chain system in quality class 10 (grade 100) as the starting point • The pink colour still ensures an exceptional position on the market to this day • Temperature-related colour changes act as a reliable heat indicator

At Photonics West 2022, CeramOptec will present high-performance optical fibers for industrial, medical and laboratory applications. Emphasized are solutions for surface treatment and long-term UV applications. In addition to individual fibers, optical fiber bundles in various configurations will be introduced as well.
