Laser machines for laser cutting
Laser cutting of complex 3D components
Laser machine JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM
When it comes to the processing of large vehicle components such as instrument panels, traditional methods often fail because they cannot cope with the requirements of rapid processing times, high productivity and flexibility and last but not least, great accuracy. We remove casting tabs and foil remnants on instrument panels and other plastic components cleanly without creating any surface damage.
The laser cutting system JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM (Beam In Motion) constitutes an innovative combination of a stationary laser and a robot-based motion sequence. Due to its compact design and extremely flexible handling, it is referred to as a plug-and-play system. With the novel system concept, the core of which being a laser robot with fully integrated beam control, laser powers of up to 5 kW can be realized for the first time without impairing the advantages provided by a robot system - high mobility and accessibility, very high system accuracy and dynamics.
This laser system is used for a variety of demanding tasks in the field of laser cutting of plastic or metal components, e.g. trimming of interior cover parts, removal of borders and overlapping foil with components made subject to back injection molding, trimming of press-hardened structural components as well as 3D-molded metallic sections.

Laser machines for laser welding
JENOPTIK-VOTAN® W - Laser machine for laser welding
Laser welding on a minimum area
Laser machine JENOPTIK-VOTAN® W
JENOPTIK meets the demand for compact laser systems for various welding tasks in the automotive industry with the JENOPTIK-VOTAN® W family. Through quasi-simultaneous laser welding of plastic materials, this system enables minimum cycle times and top results such as the absence of marks and high strength. Moreover, metallic components can be laser-welded using this machine as well with minimum deformation and thermal influence.
Laser welding of plastic materials and metals up to 3D using 6-axis robots or simultaneous welding using directly radiating diode lasers is possible with the JENOPTIK-VOTAN® W on an industrial level on an area as small as one square meter. With this system and tailor-made technology development, Jenoptik is capable of constructing a customized machine, tailored to the customer’s needs.
