Laser welding of various components
|
|

SCHUNK Laser Technology

Laser forming creates freedom in design and flexibility.
|
|
|
In many industries laser forming is an established procedure if prototyes or test parts are required on short notice. However, functional parts for the real-time operation can be manufactured with this technology, too. For the first time SCHUNK offers individual solutions, such as gripper fingers or complete grippers made of laser-formed polyamide.
