Solution Center for production problems

Stuttgart, Germany--A new visitor service has been added to the event line-up at LASYS 2010 with "Solution Center - meet the experts": an independent, established advisory service for all kinds of production problems. This Solution Center is the brainchild of the experts on the LASYS advisory council.

Centrally located in Hall 1 and at their own trade fair stands, experts from reknowned research institutes will be able to answer questions visitors may have regarding laser production, as well as to recommend the appropriate manufacturers for specific production problems. The information given is both free and impartial.

"With the Solution Center, we would like to convince as many trade fair visitors as possible of the advantages of innovative laser technology and to recommend individual solutions for their particular problems. Visitors should bring their parts and products with them to the fair and we can show them, using these examples, the potential laser-based production can offer. We want to make the introduction to laser technology easier, as well as open up new possibilities in laser material processing to existing users; ideally to act as a link between the system manufacturers and the users", explains Prof. Thomas Graf, Director of the Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge (IFSW) of the University of Stuttgart, regarding the intentions of the participating research institutes. "In order for the concept of the advisory service to be taken seriously, we are placing great importance on impartial specialist support", emphasizes Prof. Graf.

Research centers who will participate include: the Bavarian Laser Centre (blz), the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT), and the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS), the Laser Centre in Hannover and the IFSW Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge of Stuttgart University.

LASYS will be held June 8-10 2010 on the grounds of the Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre, directly beside the airport. It is the first specialist trade fair, covering a comprehensive range of materials and industries, for system solutions in laser material processing.
