Anyone who welds knows that moment. The seam isn’t right, the rework begins, and the clock is ticking. That’s exactly the moment we wanted to significantly reduce in our production process.
At BVS Blechtechnik, we have specifically expanded our laser welding capabilities with three new systems. This was not done for any single reason, but rather to meet a variety of requirements. After all, our customers’ components are as diverse as the tasks they serve. High-volume production, complex geometries, or small production runs each require their own specific solutions.
Three Technologies for Different Needs
The Trumpf TruLaser Weld 5000 is used wherever maximum repeatability is essential. This turnkey robotic welding system offers a significant enhancement thanks to FusionLine technology. Gaps of up to 1 mm can be reliably closed without having to specially adapt components for laser welding. This makes the process suitable for a significantly wider range of components, while maintaining consistently high quality from part to part.
The Amada FLW-Le is designed for applications that require both precision and tight tolerances. The robotic fiber laser welding cell utilizes patented WEAVING technology. An oscillating laser beam reliably and quickly bridges even irregular gap dimensions without compromising seam quality. An integrated camera system detects deviations even before the first weld spot is made, significantly reducing the effort required.
The BlueLaserTools Blumodular 2000 complements automated systems wherever maximum flexibility is required. This water-cooled handheld laser welding machine delivers laser precision exactly to the areas a robot cannot reach. Typical applications include prototypes, small production runs, complex or hard-to-reach geometries, and repairs. Two handpieces for different seam requirements and a triple safety system ensure reliable results. The system is developed and manufactured in Germany.
What this means for our customers in concrete terms
With these three systems, we have the right solution for a variety of requirements. Together, they cover virtually the entire spectrum of laser welding, from high-volume production to individual parts and from simple gap dimensions to complex visible welds.
The benefits are evident in everyday use. Less rework, shorter turnaround times, and more components that can be produced cost-effectively.
Laser welding was long considered a specialized field. At BVS Blechtechnik, it is now an integral part of our manufacturing process.

BVS Summer BBQ in Böblingen: Team Spirit, Networking, and Cohesion as Keys to Success
BVS Summer BBQ in Böblingen: Enjoying Time Together, Succeeding Together
This year’s BVS Group summer BBQ took place in Böblingen on Friday starting at 2:15 p.m. Despite the “mixed” summer weather, numerous employees took the opportunity to wind down the workday together and chat in a relaxed atmosphere.
The food was excellent: delicious grilled dishes, a variety of salads, and a sweet dessert to top it all off.
More than Just a Barbecue: Personal Interaction
But these kinds of events are about much more than just good food. The summer BBQ offers an opportunity to get to know colleagues from different departments in a relaxed atmosphere and to strengthen existing relationships. Cross-departmental collaboration, in particular, is a key factor in the success of challenging projects in thin-sheet metal processing.
The BBQ once again demonstrated that BVS’s corporate culture is characterized by a strong sense of camaraderie. Openness, team spirit, and mutual respect form the foundation for successful collaboration—both in our day-to-day work and at company events.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for organizing the event and to all our colleagues for the great atmosphere.

BVS history: First press brake
A piece of BVS history: Our first press brake in the foyer
Since the end of May 2025, a special exhibit has had a permanent place in the foyer of BVS Blechtechnik GmbH: the machine that started it all in 1989. It is a press brake from Promecam, which was delivered on May 20, 1989 and laid the technological foundation for our company.
Today, the machine is representative of our beginnings in sheet metal processing. With a bending length of 1.25 m and a pressing force of 25 tons, it formed the foundation of our first production steps. The fact that it was already NC-controlled at the time and had a motorized back gauge shows the quality standards we have set for our production since the company was founded.
After more than three decades, it now documents the path that BVS has taken in manufacturing technology in our entrance area. It makes our history tangible for visitors and employees in the truest sense of the word.

Trafo Station: Sustainability & energy efficiency
New transformer station: sustainability & energy efficiency:
Our new transformer station was delivered on 16.02.2026 – an important milestone for our further development.
The station will go into operation in the course of this half-year and completely replace our previous system housed in the plant.
A special highlight:
The new transformer station is equipped with an eSaver from the company eSaver GmbH from Ehningen is integrated into the new transformer station. This will enable us to save around 12% of our annual electricity consumption in future.
For us, this project demonstrates once again:
👉 Investments in sustainability are not an end in themselves—they also pay off financially.
👉 At the same time, we are consistently modernizing our technical infrastructure and making it fit for the future.
We are particularly pleased that we are working with eSaver GmbH a strong partner from the region at our side. Regional cooperation, short distances and a shared understanding of sustainable solutions – this is exactly how we envision a sustainable industry.
