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.

Aalen, September 2025 – Better safety when transporting earth-moving equipment through standard-compliant lashing – this is the joint goal of vehicle manufacturers Goldhofer AG and Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG, sling and lashing equipment specialist RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG, and construction and logistics company Max Wild GmbH. A model project, first presented at bauma 2025, demonstrated how this may be achieved and will continue to serve as an example in the future.

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.

Aalen, July 2025 – The theme of the RUD booth at EMO (22 – 26 September in Hanover, Hall 013, Booth E11) will be efficient lifting technology solutions for the whole of the metalworking industry’s value chain – from raw materials logistics to production and delivery. Alongside the most recent additions to the portfolio such as the ACP-TURNADO and PIP-RAPIDO lifting points and the CCS-FASTLOX clickable clevis shackle, the focus will also be on classics such as the VRS eye bolt.

Aalen, August 2025 – In 2025, RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG is looking back on 150 years of company history. What began in 1875 as a small forge for chains and wire components in the Unterkochen district of the Swabian city of Aalen has developed over one and a half centuries to become an internationally leading provider of chain and drive systems as well as fixtures and fittings. With its capacity for innovation, its quality awareness and a strong set of values, RUD has helped to shape industrial change for generations – and is a reliable partner for forward-looking solutions in a wide variety of sectors to this day.

Comprehensive support for the planning and production process leading to a refined, customized fiber optic product.

Aalen, September 2024 – Plugging instead of bolting: with the new CCS-FASTLOX, RUD is expanding its product portfolio to include a clevis shackle with a quick-release fastener that makes the attachment of loads considerably easier and faster. The highly robust shackle can be fitted without nut and cotter pin, saving up to 80% of assembly and dismantling time compared to conventional boltable shackles.

Laserline will present its cutting-edge blue high-power diode lasers for processing copper and gold alloys at Photonics West 2025. A highlight of its showcase will be the world’s first blue 6 kW CW (continuous wave) diode laser, developed for high-efficiency laser cladding processes and additive manufacturing. The company will also highlight its blue high-brightness lasers designed for powder bed 3D metal printing. Additionally, Laserline will feature an infrared direct diode laser for drying battery foils.

With the LDMblue high-power diode lasers, Laserline presents the world’s first blue diode lasers with cw output power of up to 1 kW at 450 nm wavelength. As the first industry lasers, the new LDMblue lasers allow for a controlled heat conduction welding of highly reflexive non-ferrous metals such as copper or gold. They are available in standard configurations with 1000, 500 or 300 W output power.

In order to counteract the health hazards posed by particulate matter, the EU has for the first time also included dust from braking systems within the new vehicle emission standard, Euro 7. Diode-laser-clad hard coatings enable reliable compliance with all specifications, reducing brake dust with a maximum particle size of PM10 by up to 90 percent. The series-ready cladding process developed by Laserline enables cost-sensitive mass production for all market segments.

At EuroBLECH 2022 Laserline will exhibit a broad spectrum of diode-laser-based solutions for industrial volume manufacturing. Key topics at the event will be on hot wire aluminum welding, welding of copper with 3 kW cw blue diode lasers, as well as corrosion and wear-resistant coatings, for example as brake disc claddings to reduce urban particulate emissions.

LWL-Sachsenkabel GmbH has expanded its production capacity in the field of fiber optic solutions for industry and science. With the opening of a new production facility, the company is responding to the increasing demand for customized special products and expanding its product range of fiber optic solutions for laser and laboratory technology as well as medicine, spectroscopy, and sensor technology.
