The UKP Workshop 2025
Ultrashort pulse lasers, abbreviated as USP lasers, have been a hot topic in precision material processing for years. The USP workshop in Aachen is the meeting point for the steadily growing community to exchange information about the latest developments.
Fast Retrofit: This Keeps the Supply Chain Stable
To ensure its delivery capability at all times, sheet metal all-rounder KWM Weisshaar subjected its production warehouse KASTO UNIGRIP to a retrofit after 17 years.
Making the laser process visible with synchrotron radiation
With synchrotron radiation, welding processes can be observed in detail like never before – live and in real-time! Researchers from the Fraunhofer ILT and the RWTH Aachen – Chair of Laser Technology are working at DESY to make steam bubbles, melting movements, and defects visible. Their findings optimize battery and microelectronics production and pave the way for new materials.
