Laser turning is an advanced manufacturing process that focuses on the machining of rotationally symmetrical components with exceptional precision. This technology offers numerous advantages over conventional machining methods, particularly due to the non-contact material removal. At BBW Lasertechnik, we rely on state-of-the-art laser turning technologies and highly precise machines to deliver top-quality turned parts to our customers.
Laser turning offers numerous advantages over traditional mechanical methods such as conventional turning, which we at BBW Lasertechnik specifically utilize to ensure the highest precision and quality for our customers.
A key advantage is the non-contact machining. Since the laser beam does not directly touch the workpiece, it remains force-free throughout the entire process and is not deformed. This is particularly important for delicate or thin-walled components, as it prevents deformations and ensures consistently high quality.
In addition, the laser minimizes thermal stress on the material. Especially with the use of ultrashort pulse lasers (USP technology), only a very small amount of heat is introduced into the workpiece. This technology operates with extremely high energies over extremely short periods, avoiding thermal deformations and stresses—a common issue in conventional methods. This is a significant advantage, particularly for sensitive materials that can only tolerate minimal thermal stress.
Another highlight of laser turning is the excellent surface quality. The roughness achieved during laser turning is typically Ra < 0.05 µm, often surpassing the results of other laser processing methods. The outcome is extremely smooth and flawless surfaces that require no post-processing, enabling fast and cost-efficient production for our customers.
In addition, laser turning allows the machining of very small diameters that are hardly or not at all achievable by mechanical methods. With our technology, components with minimum diameters of less than 50 µm can be produced—a precision that is invaluable, especially in industries such as medical technology or microelectronics.
Another key advantage of laser turning, which we at BBW Lasertechnik offer our customers, is the wide range of materials that can be processed. Whether metals, plastics, or ceramics, the process is extremely versatile and allows maximum flexibility in material selection. It is particularly noteworthy that laser turning also achieves excellent results with extremely hard and brittle materials. Materials that are difficult or impossible to machine mechanically can be precisely and efficiently processed with the laser. This opens up new possibilities for our customers, especially in the production of components made from challenging materials.
As a leading provider of laser material processing, BBW Lasertechnik offers numerous strengths that make us the ideal partner for your laser turning needs. Our comprehensive expertise, years of experience, and use of cutting-edge technologies enable us to provide you with significant advantages, elevating your projects to a new level of quality.
With over two decades of experience in laser technology, we have the expertise to successfully execute even the most demanding projects. Our team consists of highly qualified professionals who are experts in their field and are continuously working to improve our technologies and processes. This experience makes us a reliable partner, always working with the latest technology.
Our innovative technologies are another central advantage we offer to our customers. We use state-of-the-art ultrashort pulse lasers (USP), which allow for machining with the highest precision in the micrometer range. Even the most delicate structures can be produced with utmost accuracy using this technology—a crucial advantage when it comes to precision work in industries such as medical technology, microelectronics, or aerospace.
At BBW Lasertechnik, we take a holistic approach and offer integrated process chains. We seamlessly integrate laser turning into comprehensive production processes. Thanks to our five-axis machines, we can perform multiple operations such as ablation, cutting, or drilling in a single setup without needing to reposition the workpiece between different machines. This saves valuable time, reduces potential error sources, and lowers costs—benefits our customers directly enjoy.
Our machines are designed for maximum precision and repeatability. With a roundness deviation of less than 1 µm, we ensure exceptional accuracy, guaranteeing consistently high quality in both single parts and series production. This ensures perfect fits and highly precise components that our customers can rely on.
Another highlight of our services is our flexibility in material processing. Whether it's aluminum, stainless steel, brass, ceramics, or even extremely hard and brittle materials—our equipment is specifically designed to handle a wide variety of materials. This allows us to flexibly respond to individual customer requirements and offer customized solutions for every specific challenge.
Laser turning is an ideal technology for applications that demand the highest precision, perfect fit, and quality. At BBW Lasertechnik, we utilize this innovative process to provide customized solutions for various industries, always focusing on quality, efficiency, and accuracy.
In the medical technology field, precise and delicate components such as micro-forceps, stents, or surgical instruments are essential. With laser turning, we can manufacture these components with perfection. The non-contact process minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures a high level of cleanliness in the parts—a crucial advantage in the medical industry, where the highest hygiene standards are required.
Laser turning is particularly suited for the electronics and microelectronics industries. In these fields, components with extremely small dimensions, such as contacts or sensors, are required. Our high-resolution laser control allows us to precisely manufacture even the smallest parts—often in dimensions that would be impossible to achieve with conventional mechanical methods. This enables us to guarantee complex geometries and the highest precision in manufacturing.
In the aerospace industry, components are subjected to extreme mechanical and thermal stresses. With laser turning, we offer the ability to precisely and gently manufacture highly durable parts from materials such as titanium or specialized composites. Since the process is non-contact, the material remains intact, without deformation or thermal impact.
In precision engineering and the watchmaking industry, the highest precision is essential. With laser turning, we can produce the smallest gears, shafts, or hands with flawless quality. The defect-free surfaces and high dimensional accuracy of our components meet the strict requirements of this industry, where perfection down to the smallest detail is demanded.
