Laser decoating

A progressive laser method for removing painted and coated layers from interior and exterior parts to create visible 2D/3D graphics. With a high resolution of 20 µm and high repeatability of up to 50 µm, it is possible to meet various graphic design requirements for creating logos, patterns, or text.

Laser etching

A unique technology for surface treatment with thick or multiple base layers. Using a laser, selective removal of layers alters the surface's physical properties. It is commonly used in producing interior plastics for touch panels, door panels, and cockpit inserts.

Laser sprue cutting

Non-contact laser removal of injection molding systems and technological overflows at parting lines with surface final homogenization. The technology can be directly integrated into the automatic molding process or used as a standalone Vario station.

Large format laser cutting of plastics

Large-format trimming is a technology that finds extensive application due to its precision, quality, and repeatability. It is used, for example, in roof and door panels, in-moulded sandwich parts, carpet mats, luggage compartment reinforcements, and complete instrument panels.

Cutting painted plastic parts

In many cases, conventional processing technologies no longer meet the requirements of end users, which is why lasers are taking the quality of plastic manufacturing to a whole new level. Laser cutting of final visible parts with a surface finish, including painting and color, is highly sensitive to the final quality and precision of the process.

Transmission polymers welding

A dynamically evolving technology that is becoming the standard for creating non-dismantlable joints in thermoplastics. The process allows thermoplastics to be joined with a strong and tight weld, which is hidden inside the material and often almost invisible.
