Laser technology is shaping entire industries.
Conventional embossing methods are obsolete. Embossing processes that are manually produced in an extensive procedure consume enormous amounts of personnel and time resources and, due to the undeniable shortage of skilled workers, are practically on the verge of extinction.
These are being replaced by an innovative laser technology that has already successfully completed the testing phase and is used nationally and internationally in the packaging, coating, leather, decoration, automotive and glass industries.
This is how refinement is achieved.
The application possibilities include pure embossing tools, embossing tools against rubber rollers, embossing tools against paper rollers or union sets (positive/negative steel rollers), all manufactured with the highest precision and with complete design freedom.
In addition, the highly personnel-dependent processes were digitized and automated. In particular, the automated manufacturing processes are considered a key factor behind the future technology of laser technology, since the machine operates largely unmanned during the actual processing after the initial setup.
The workpieces, which were previously largely manufactured manually, are now produced using a new process that utilizes 3D data transmitted to a laser system.
All of this leads to extremely short delivery times. Workpieces can be delivered in just a few weeks or even days. Waiting times of several months are a thing of the past.
Particular attention is paid to embossing in steel. It is now possible to create embossments using a steel die against a steel roller.
Conclusion
The rapid delivery times, combined with the extremely high quality and reproducibility, form the cornerstones that are crucial for national and international industrial companies to utilize this innovative technology in order to gain a massive competitive advantage, which undoubtedly exists compared to manual and therefore time-consuming manufacturing.
In particular, embossing in steel is considered a far-reaching innovation from which the packaging, coating, leather, decorative, automotive and glass industries will benefit significantly.
