We are pleased to announce and invite you to one of our weekly online zoom events.
 

Laser machining of cylindrical parts

Today’s presentation delivers a practical and forward-looking overview of modern laser processing technologies.
At the forefront of this field, GFH specializes in ultra-short pulse laser machining, with proven expertise in the micromachining of rotationally symmetric components. With a strong foundation in both machining setup and process strategy, GFH ensures high precision, repeatability, and robust process control, key requirements in high-tech manufacturing environments.
 
Their advanced machine platform offers multiple technologies, including galvo scanner-based machining, cylindrical surface interpolation, and laser turning. This enables the efficient and scalable production of complex micro-scale geometries, offering significant value in both R&D and industrial applications.
