Laser expert LAP continuing on course for success with international sales network
|
Laser systems from LAP are in use worldwide. The customers use the branch-specific system to enhance the quality of their products and services and improve the effectiveness of their production
processes. Because at LAP the focus is on the customer, the laser experts work together with local consultants and sales partners who speak the customers' language and understand their mentality.
LAP has recently expanded its international sales network with a new branch in Brazil and a new partner in France.

Optimised prefabricated house construction with laser projection technology from LAP and Dietrich’s timberframing software
|
Time and quality are the crucial factors in the prefabricated house industry. And that is exactly where the focus of the laser projection technology from LAP GmbH Laser Applikationen lies.
A laser line shows precisely the exact location of the rows of nails or screws, the position of the individual timber hangers, cut-outs and installation parts. That makes work much easier and increases
the precision. The manufacturers can thus save time while also increasing their quality. The combination with a program such as that from Dietrich’s AG, an expert for CAD/CAM in timber construction and
technology partner of LAP, allows the work processes to be further accelerated.

The Siberian satellite:
Precisely designed with technology Made in Germany
|
The Siberia high-tech manufacturer and Russian market leader for communication satellite systems has recently started relying in its production on technology Made in Germany – from the experts for
laser projection systems, LAP GmbH Laser Applikationen in Lüneburg. With over 10,000 employees and 1160 spacecraft orbiting the earth, Information Satellite Systems M.F. Reshetnev the Number One
among the Russian spacecraft manufacturers. The specialist for all orbits developed and launched two-thirds of all Russian satellites that are in either geostationary orbit or orbiting at heights
of between 160 and almost 37,000 kilometres above the earth. With its laser projectors, LAP ensure the precise production of the communication antennae in the works near Krasnojarsk.

LAP sensors minimise scrap when forging railway wheels
|
Growing axle loads and increasing speeds of the railway vehicles call for ever more efficient wheel set systems. The Bochumer Verein has therefore equipped its existing contour measuring
system downline of the hot forming section with an optical laser contour measuring system from LAP Laser. The laser sensors measure wheels immediately after forging and supply the exact profiles
in real time. Using the measurement data it was possible to achieve a lasting improvement in the production process and to increase efficiency.

Contact-free thickness measurement with laser triangulation reduces overheads and costs
|
The new CALIX not only measures shiny metals for example, it can also measure the thickness of matt black rubber calender strips. Max Mandt-Merck of the LAP Laser
measuring systems sales division is thrilled about the latest CALIX generation: "We have succeeded in producing an even more rugged package incorporating
outstanding product features such as contact-free measurement and universal material and temperature compatibility. The CALIX is the only system available on the market
that combines temperature stability with mechanical isolation to achieve drift-free measurement. What's more, this has even been possible with an increased C-arm
opening width of 200 millimetres, which is twice its previous size."

Laser systems ensure safe transport through the furnace
|
Arcelor Mittal has awarded LAP an order for supply of a laser optical positioning system for beam blanks for its Esch Belval works in Luxemburg. The system will be used to measure length and position of beam blanks on the roller table feeding the walking beam furnace of the rolling mill for piling sections. The new system will ensure optimal charging of the furnace at all times. more ...

Multi-tasking laser template projection for manufacturing rotor blades of wind power plants
|
In the manufacture of glass fibre rotors the process of positioning the prepregs can be markedly accelerated by the use of laser projectors. The innovative multi-tasking feature of LAP’s CAD-PRO
laser projectors supports teams working on one and the same wing in performing different activities simultaneously and independently of each other. This optimizes the workflow, especially during the
manufacture of large components. more ...

Furniture manufacturers are facing an ever-increasing degree of complexity in their production processes. This challenge is further compounded by the high cost of raw materials. LAP, a company based
in Lüneburg, has come to the aid of furniture manufacturers by developing the Assembly Pro digital laser template. Assembly Pro eliminates complex, error-prone and time-consuming manual calibration
and marking processes. It also preserves system resources by avoiding scrap and minimising offcuts.
Rotor blades of wind turbine generators have to be as light as possible, and nevertheless sturdy. They are therefore manufactured as sandwich constructions of fibreglass,
carbon fibres and wood. In order to improve the complex production process, largee manufacturers are replacing the manual templates used to date for positioning the
fibre mats. The new COMPOSITE PRO digital laser template from LAP ensures higher precision and significant savings in time.
Glulam trusses have outstanding material properties and a low net weight. From an architectural point of view therefore, this material offers a wide range of design possibilities.
An extremely high degree of precision is required when manufacturing glulam trusses in order to comply with the strict tolerances involved. The timber processing industry is therefore
increasingly coming to rely on LAP laser technology to increase the precision and speed of the glulam truss manufacturing processes.
The Finnish steel giant, Outokumpu, installed an innovative laser measuring system from LAP in a research project to improve the production process for slabs. With the system specially adapted to the demands,
the warpage can already be taken into account during the production process. That enables near-net-shape production and reduces costly refinishing.
LAP considerably increased the accuracy of CALIX sensors for thickness measurement of band. Their accuracy reaches and in many cases exceeds the radiometric systems common in rolling mills.
The dimensions of CALIX systems makes them easy to build into existing production lines with little to no effort. By using CALIX sensors, measures for radiation protection are obsolete. 
During manual placement of formwork and parts on circulating pallets in concrete precast production, laser template projectors simplify many working procedures. They produce
"visual templates" on the working surface and support exact alignment of parts. This way they secure the dimensional correctness of the final elements. 
Dr. Axel Schulz will be responsible for managing and expanding the worldwide sales network for laser systems used in the steel and non-ferrous metals industry.
