Here we rely on the established and highly efficient processes of laser cutting and punching. <\/p>\n<h3>Laser cutting: Maximum precision and material flexibility<\/h3>\n<p>Laser cutting, a thermal cutting process, enables the burr-free production of complex contours and individual geometries. It is characterized by maximum flexibility and is ideal for single pieces or small batch sizes. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fiber laser technology<\/strong>: This modern technology dominates due to its significantly higher energy efficiency and wider range of materials. It enables the precise cutting of highly reflective materials such as copper and brass, which is not possible with older CO2 lasers. The short-wave laser beam also makes it possible to produce extremely small holes with an excellent diameter-to-thickness ratio.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>CO2 laser<\/strong>: Used as a supplement for certain material thicknesses and specific applications where the beam quality of the CO2 laser offers advantages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut edge quality and marking<\/strong>: The edge quality achieved with laser-cut parts is generally very high. The need for post-processing is determined by the material specification and the required roughness of the cut surface. The process also allows direct, non-contact marking of component information using a laser.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Punching: Economical thanks to high speed<\/h3>\n<p>Punching is a non-cutting separation process that demonstrates its economic strengths particularly in series production and with a high degree of destruction &#8211; i.e. the need to create many uniform geometries (holes, cut-outs) in the sheet metal. The longer tool set-up time is compensated for by the extremely fast cycle time per stroke.<br \/>\nPunching offers numerous forming options that go beyond pure cutting: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Functional elements<\/strong>: Integration of forming processes such as thread forming for threads without additional welding of nuts. Production of beads for stiffening or positioning and pull-throughs for burr-free cable routing or to create support surfaces. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong>: The use of turret punching heads and the option of adapting tools at short notice enables a flexible response to customer-specific requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Punch-laser combination: synergy of both processes<\/h3>\n<p>Our punch-laser combination machine uses the synergy of the two technologies to achieve maximum production efficiency.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Optimal field of application<\/strong>: The combination is predestined for components with a high proportion of standard perforations\/forming (punching) and complex, high-precision outer contours (lasering) that require a burr-free edge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Economic advantage<\/strong>: The overall throughput is increased by speeding up the process &#8211; punching makes the fast standard perforations while the laser cuts the time-consuming, complicated contours.

Long-lasting corrosion protection is achieved by matching the material, chemical pre-treatment and coating to the environmental class of the end product. <\/p>\n<p>We carry out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/processes\/surface-refinement\/\">powder coating<\/a> in-house to create a mechanically resistant, decorative surface in specific layer thicknesses. We also carry out screen printing in-house for permanent marking. <\/p>\n<p>For the highest corrosion protection requirements, we use external partners for chemical processes such as electrogalvanizing and KTL coating (cathodic dip coating); KTL can be used as a highly resistant primer or sole coating.<\/p>\n<p>The removal of sharp burrs and edges, which occur in particular during punching, is a standardized process step for us to ensure the cleanliness of the components and occupational safety.<\/p>\n<p>The degree of edge rounding depends on the material thickness and your requirements for the feel of the workpieces. We carry out edge rounding by machine or manually.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-42ems7-ac89f18d57f9f97f559482eeeca5f2d8 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mhvt2zx1-acab5f8b5fb038aca2599dfd1904f687\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mhvt2zx1-acab5f8b5fb038aca2599dfd1904f687{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mhvt2zx1-acab5f8b5fb038aca2599dfd1904f687 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mhvt2zx1-acab5f8b5fb038aca2599dfd1904f687 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mhvt2zx1-acab5f8b5fb038aca2599dfd1904f687 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-23  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Choosing the right procedure: criteria <span class='special_amp'>&amp;<\/span> application<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mhvt3e4p-7c86de49482b3c7e490f24034a5030b6'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Decisive criteria for the choice of process:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div class='avia-data-table-wrap av-1b7q4op-4b035abd3900812815d5a3ca45e048ea avia_responsive_table avia-table-1'><table  class='avia-table avia-data-table avia_pricing_minimal  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Table\" ><tbody><tr class='avia-heading-row'><th class='avia-highlight-col'>Criterion<\/th><th class=''>laser cutting<\/th><th class=''>Punching<\/th><th class=''>Punch-laser combination<\/th><\/tr><tr class=''><td class='avia-highlight-col'>Quantity<\/td><td class=''>Less expensive for single pieces and prototypes (simple, fully automatic programming).<\/td><td class=''>More economical for large series and a high degree of machining.<\/td><td class=''>Ideal for small to medium series.<\/td><\/tr><tr class=''><td class='avia-highlight-col'>Component complexity<\/td><td class=''>Ideal for complex outer contours and intricate shapes.<\/td><td class=''>Ideal for quickly setting many identical holes (perforated grids) and forming.<\/td><td class=''>The best compromise: High degree of cutting plus complex outer contours.<\/td><\/tr><tr class=''><td class='avia-highlight-col'>Additional functions<\/td><td class=''>Markings possible.<\/td><td class=''>Thread forming, beading, pull-throughs, clinching possible (forming).<\/td><td class=''>Combines all advantages.<\/td><\/tr><tr class=''><td class='avia-highlight-col'>Costs &amp;
