In discrete manufacturing, i.e. in the production of and with countable items, a problem frequently arises: how can the individual work steps be optimised? Bearing in mind as well that ideally only all feasible options should be considered. Attention must be paid to data acquisition, quality assurance and optimisation of work time. The specialists for production-related software, DE software & control GmbH, and LAP the manufacturer of laser projection systems have embraced this challenge by developing a worker guidance system with innovative pick-to-laser system which can be used in many branches of industry. more

This situation may be familiar to many users of radiation therapy equipment: red or green laser lines in CT rooms appear slightly out of focus due to their physical properties. In order to improve visibility, LAP has now integrated blue diodes in their new TAURUSblue system, resulting in optimised accuracy and visibility of the laser lines. This increases precision of patient marking to just millimeters. In addition LAP integrated the well known quality and safety features of their DORADO-series into the new TAURUSblue. more

High energy costs can strongly influence competitiveness in the steel industry. In particular, scrap and offcuts in the production of slabs, sheet metal and pipes require a great deal of energy when they are remelted. Using LAP measuring systems significantly increases measuring accuracy. The amount of scrap is reduced almost to zero, and energy costs are permanently lowered. more
