SHOW PREVIEW: LASYS MATERIAL L
asys will attract around 200 exhibitors presenting the latest innovations in laser systems, laser solutions and laser production systems at the Stuttgart trade fair centre from
24 to 26 June. The event will feature the complete range of applications of lasers in material processing, including cutting, welding, inscribing, hardening, coating, structuring and trimming, as well as new application areas. The show will also have an
excellent accompanying programme made up of numerous events and talks, including the Solution Centre, where representatives from five well-known laser institutes will be available to provide advice for manufacturing problems. The Stuttgart Laser Technology Forum (SLT), organised by the Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge
focus will be on joining composites using the corresponding X-ray diagnostics
This year the
MASTERCLASS
Taking place every two years, Lasys in Stuttgart will showcase the latest laser equipment for material processing. Here we look at some of the technology on display when the trade fair opens its doors from 24 to 26 June
(IFSW) of the University of Stuttgart, will cover micro and macro processing, as well as the associated laser sources and beam guiding systems. This year the focus will be on joining composites using the corresponding X-ray diagnostics, as well as processing transparent, brittle materials. In line with this, the latest developments in the area of ultrashort pulse lasers, as well as ultrafast scanners and beam shaping will be presented. The trade fair will also hold a
workshop on the basics of lasers and laser material processing on the morning of the 25 and 26 June, and the Lasers in Action forum,
which is co-organised by Laser Systems Europe magazine, will highlight some of the innovative uses of lasers (for the full Lasers in Action programme, see page 16).

ALPHA LASER will exhibit its mobile laser robot, the AL-Rock, which is designed for targeted partial hardening of metallic surfaces. The system is ideal for processing heavy components that would otherwise be difficult to mount in a machine. The company is also presenting
a compact and precise laser cutting system – the AC 300F for small batch and prototype production. Also available is the the
AL-Trolley, which is equipped with a 300W fibre laser for a variety of
