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.

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.

At EuroBLECH 2024, Laserline will be presenting highly efficient solutions for processing sheet metal, copper and aluminum components. Key topics include multi-spot optics for application-optimized beam shaping, blue 4 kW CW diode lasers for copper welding and solutions for laser curing of powder coatings.

• 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

Aalen, August 2024 – This year, RUD’s appearance at AMB (10 to 14 September in Stuttgart, Hall 8, Stand 8C20) will focus on efficient lifting technology solutions for the metalworking industry. The German company is going to present its broad portfolio of lifting means for the entire value chain in the tool and mould making, mechanical engineering and plant construction industries. The pluggable lifting point PIP-RAPIDO and the clickable shackle CCS-FASTLOX will take centre stage, two new products that significantly simplify and speed up the lifting of loads thanks to an innovative functional principle.

The IDEEL research project, supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the Battery 2020 funding program, aims to launch a laser drying process for a more climate-friendly and economical series production of lithium-ion batteries. The results will be incorporated into the Fraunhofer Research Fab Battery Cells (Forschungsfertigung Batteriezelle) in Münster, Germany, which will enable users from both industry and research to test and optimize the series production of new batteries.

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.

• 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
