A New Approach to Laser Welding: BVS Blechtechnik Invests in Three New Systems

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 erste Abkantpresse

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.

Fully electric press brake

all-electric press brake: Our NEW roommate in production: EGB 1303 ATCe Amada

Today we would like to briefly introduce our new roommate in production. It is the EGB-ATCe, an all-electric press brake from AMADA.

It is considered to be the easiest-to-operate press brake of all time. We are the first users of this machine in Germany.

What can it do better than its predecessors?

The all-electric press brake works without oil for controlling the upper beam. The system’s new crowning system can also be adjusted electrically.

Greater accuracy: This is made possible by the new electrical system for crowning. It enables asymmetrical correction of the lower press beam for optimum station bending.

Higher productivity: It has a fast upper beam and protractor as well as three independent stop fingers.

Higher tool capacity: 30% higher capacity of the automatic tool changer (ATC)

Simplified operation: The machine has a new intelligent voice control system, tablet HMI and intelligent augmented reality cameras for the backgauge. This allows the machine to be controlled effortlessly by any operator.

AMNC 4ie + VPSS 4ie BEND: The programs can be generated and transferred to the new AMNC 4ie control system in just a few seconds using the new AI-BEND function of the VPSS 4ie BEND software.

Servo technology: This reduces maintenance and machine downtimes.

We are very pleased that the new EGB 1303 ATCe has settled in well with us and wish her a good settling-in period, many successful projects and a long collaboration with our colleagues.
