Around 80 international visitors and industrial laser technology experts were drawn to the Stuttgart metropolitan region on June 21/22. More precisely, to the company headquarters of ACSYS Lasertechnik GmbH in Kornwestheim where the ACSYS LaserTech Days 2023 took place under the motto “Precision & Innovation”. On the occasion of the company’s 20th anniversary, well-known international brand manufacturers came to the in-house exhibition to learn about the latest developments in the field of high-precision laser technology. A lecture program full of highlights provided the framework for the event. The spectrum ranged from innovative processes for selective paint removal using the patented Large Field Removal (LFR) technology in the automotive and mobility sectors, direct laser engraving and pulse forging in coin minting, to the automation of processes using the VDMA OPC UA standard for laser systems and a look into the future of laser micromachining.
Of course, there were also plenty of insights into practical laser processing with ACSYS hardware and software. The new PIRANHA® system generation with Ultra Short Pulse Laser (USPL) and lightweight steel construction as well as slim footprint celebrated a premiere. In addition, the focus was on robotic and automation solutions as well as the patented Large Field Removal (LFR) system for selective paint removal on large areas (2000 x 2000 mm).
Gerhard Kimmel, founder and managing director of the company, draws a positive conclusion: “It’s great that we can finally experience joint events again without any restrictions. First and foremost because of the interpersonal aspect. Fantastic weather, great guests and technical discussions with depth – that’s what a successful event looks like to me.” Since the foundation of ACSYS Lasertechnik in 2003, laser processing has been the focus of all products, solutions and services. With now more than 120 employees at the Kornwestheim and Mittweida sites, ACSYS has become the first address for high-quality solutions for engraving, marking, structuring, welding and cutting with high-precision laser technology.
